(Test before adding any chemicals; do
	La Palma	2 tablespoon
not add any chemicals if proper or
	Mallorca	1-1/2 tablespoon
higher levels are found.)

7.Reinstall cartridge holder into spa, push down, and twist clockwise.

8.Replace SPA FROG® cap.

9.Reconnect power to spa.

Warning: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to fall to the recommended range before using the spa.

IMPORTANT: Each time the spa is filled with water, you must remove and reinstall the SPA FROG cap, even if you are not replacing the cartridge, in order to properly prime the jet pumps.

FOLLOWING THE SPA FROG SANITIZER ROUTINE

During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual daily in order to establish the correct setting on cartridges for User Load and Usage Time versus Sanitizer Needed.

•The User Load of the spa is the number of times anyone enters the spa.

•The Usage Time is simply the amount of time a user spends in the spa.

•Sanitizer Needed is the amount needed to accomodate the number of users and their combined usage time.

For example, two spa users who regularly use the spa once an evening for twenty minutes create a specific and somewhat consistent demand on the sanitizer. During the first month of ownership, these two users can determine exactly how much sanitizer to use in order to maintain the proper residual. If, at any time the user load and/or usage pattern changes dramatically (i.e. invited guests), the frequency of sanitizer required increases dramatically. The greater the usage time, or the bather load, the faster the residual value is diminished.
