Use and Care Manual
Ozone
Ozone is a gas created by an ozonator installed in a spa*.
The ozonator creates natural O
3
gas. This gas
aids the bromine or chlorine in your system by
destroying unwanted microbes. Ozone does not
replace the need for bromine or chlorine but
aids in the chemicals effectiveness. Follow
the directions above for use of bromine or
chlorine in your spa.
*Not all spas are equipped with an ozonator. Please ask your dealer if you have any questions.
Spa Mineral Cartridge
A mineral cartridge is placed in the filter cartridge of your
spa. Over the next four months a balance of metallic ions
is released to control bacterial growth. This system is
safe to use with bromine, chlorine and ozone systems.
The mineral cartridge does not replace bromine or chlorine, but does
aid in its sanitizing capabilities and helps lower the ppm required to
sanitize your spa water.
Shock
Oxidation is the process of removing organic materials
such as body oils, cosmetics and lotions from the water.
When these organics increase in the water, the water
becomes cloudy or hazy. Shocking with Refresh will
oxidize the materials that may cause foul odors, eye or
skin irritation or dull, cloudy water. Shocking weekly will
also increase the sanitizers' effectiveness.
