WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDELINES
There are several methods available to sanitize the spa water. We recommend using chlorine or bromine in conjucnction with your ozonator. No other oxidizing agents are suggested. Use of other oxidizing agents may damage equipment and void the warranty.
Shock Sanitation:
After filling your spa, shock sanitize the water before using the spa. This treatment provides initial sterilization as well as kills any algae spores that may be present and oxidize undesirable minerals and organic matter in the raw water. Repeat shock treatment anytime the spa is refilled or the water has lost its chemical control due to neglect.
We recommend the use of sodium dichloracyanurate (DyCloro) or lithium hypochlo- rite. Calcium hypochlorite is used for swimming pools and is not recommended for spas.
It’s important that you read and follow the safety tips for chemical usage and storage listed in the Water Treatment Guide. (Also see RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL LEVELS under TROUBLESHOOTING.)
