Run the pump for 1 hour at high speed. 3) Test and adjust pH.
2000 Owner’s Manual We strongly recommend that you buy your chemicals from your local Authorized Dimension One Spas dealer. Your local Authorized dealer can also advise you on alternative methods for water sanitation. Discount store chemicals, while sometimes less expensive, are not always the proper strength or type for your spa. Use of the wrong chemicals can be dangerous and may void the warranty on your spa.
2000 Owner’s Manual BROMINE (BROMINE CANNOT BE USED WITH THE VISION SYSTEMS) Bromine is the most common sanitizer used in spas. Bacteria can be controlled by maintaining a proper total bromine level of 3.0 to 5.0 ppm. Brominating tablets are a convenient and effective source of bromine for your spa. Do not drop bromine tablets directly into the water as this may damage the spa surface.
2000 Owner’s Manual NOTE: Two individuals in a spa may use as much as 3 ppm of chlorine in 20 minutes. SHOCK TREATMENT (POTASSIUM PEROXYMONOSULFATE) Even with regular sanitization, shock treatment may be necessary on occasion. Shock treatment is recommended over Super Chlorination because it does not add additional sanitizer to the water. It is also effective in oxidizing wastes and will reduce chloramines or bromamines. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions listed on the label.
2000 Owner’s Manual draining and refilling). This will suspend any metals in your water and increase the life of your spa equipment. TOTAL ALKALINITY Total Alkalinity is the amount of Carbonate, Bicarbonate and Hydroxyl ions in the water. TA (total alkalinity) affects and buffers the pH of the water. With high TA above 150, pH resists adjustment. With low TA below 120, pH is unstable and difficult to keep in the ideal range. Proper TA levels allow other chemicals to work at their optimum.
2000 Owner’s Manual CARE FOR YOUR SPA DRAINING YOUR SPA All Dimension One spas are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine or chlorine has dissipated from the spa water. The sanitizer in your spa water can be dissipated very quickly by leaving the spa cover off and exposing the water to direct sunlight. Drain and replace your spa water every three to four months. For heavy spa use, you may wish to change the water more frequently.

CAUTION: Do not use “409” type cleaners or other caustic solutions as they may damage the spa shell surface and void the warranty.
2000 Owner’s Manual If you decide to drain the spa, drain it as completely as possible. You may wish to tilt the spa on edge and use a wet-vac or high pressure blower to evacuate as much water as possible. This will require additional people. Try to get as much water out of the plumbing lines and equipment as possible. If you want to use the spa water on surrounding vegetation, make sure that it is free of sanitizers.
