CHEMICALS
IMPORTANT! The following section on chemicals must be read and understood fully!
The warranty on your new spa is dependent on the proper use of these chemicals.
The biggest threat to a spa is poor chemical balancing the water. Spas can present health
hazards if inadequate maintenance programs are used. Consider that four people in 1,000
liter spa are equal to 160 people in 38,000 gallons of water in a pool. Bear in mind that
the water in your spa is an environment if the water is not properly maintained.
The following are some important points when dealing with spa chemicals:
1. Always follow the directions on the individual (bromine & chlorine) chemicals
containers.
2. Never mix different types of chemicals; it could cause a fire or explosion.
3. Never store chemicals in anything but their original containers.
CHEMICALS AND ACCESSORIES NEEDED FOR SPA
There are many types of chemicals recommended for use in spas. Some are mandatory,
were others are optional.
Below is a list of all chemicals and accessories with an explanation of each:
CHLORINE: A highly concentrated chemical, which is used in pools and spas as a
bactericide and algaecide. Chlorine will sanitize and disinfect your spa. Chlorine is most
often available in two different forms, a concentrated granular form and tablet form.
(When using a tablet from of chlorine, a non-chlorine shock is recommended). A
residual of 1-1.5 p.p.m. (parts per million) is needed.
PH UP & pH DOWN: The pH level of water represents the amount of acid or alkaline
in the water. This can promote scaling, cloudy water, eye irritations, and difficulty in
maintaining proper chlorine level. Too low pH makes the water in the spa corrosive.
This could lead to damage to the spa itself or The spa pack. NOTE THIS DAMAGE IS
NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY! A pH Level of 7.2 – 7.6 p.p.m. is to be
maintained in your spa.
CHLORINE AND pH TEST KIT: An accurate, high quality test kit is needed to
properly test and maintain the chlorine and pH levels in the spa water.
THERMOMETER: A thermometer is necessary in your spa to provide an easy
temperature reading. Water temperatures, which are too hot, are unsafe and could cause
