STARTING YOUR SPA WITH NEW WATER:
1. As your spa fills with tap water , add the prescribed
dose of a STAIN & SCALE INHIBITOR. This will provide
the initial protection against staining and scaling.
Note: Do not use soft water unless the mineral content
is raised immediately.
2. When your spa is completely filled with water, add
the prescribed dose of a WATER CLARIFIER. This will
clear the water of any micro-particulates that came
with the new water.
3. If possible, have your authorized Bullfrog Spa
Dealer test the Calcium Hardness (CH) of your spa
water and adjust as per your dealer's recommendation
(the correct level of CH depends on your overall water
conditions).
4. Test and adjust the Total Alkalinity (TA) to the
range of 125-150 PPM (parts per million).
5. Test and adjust the pH to the range of 7.4-7.6.
6. After the spa water has circulated for
approximately one hour, add 1/2 teaspoon of
GRANULAR CHLORINE or 1 teaspoon of GRANULAR
BROMINE per each 200 gallons of spa water. After
several hours, check sanitizer level and, if necessary,
adjust to the following:
Without Ozone With Ozone
Chlorine Level: 2.0 PPM 1.0 PPM
Bromine Level: 3.0 PPM 2.0 PPM
Important: Unless you have ozone, do not use the spa
if the sanitizer level is below 1.0.
Start-up water chemistry is now complete. However, it
may take several days for the filter to completely clear
the water.
MAINTAINING SPA WATER
Sanitizer and pH Levels:
It is important to test and adjust the sanitizer and pH
levels of your spa on a frequent basis. If your spa is
used 0-3 times weekly, then we recommend that you
test your spa water a minimum of 2-3 times that
week. For each additional use you should test your
spa water one additional time.
Always test the pH level before you test the sanitizer
level. If the pH level is not in the range of 7.4-7.6,
then make the necessary adjustment. Use the dosage
prescribed on the label.
With each sanitizer test, use either GRANULAR
BROMINE or GRANULAR CHLORINE to maintain the
following levels:
Without Ozone With Ozone
Chlorine Level: 2.0 PPM 1.0 PPM
Bromine Level: 3.0 PPM 2.0 PPM
