Sanitizing is the most important step in maintaining a clean, healthy
spa. Bacteria and algae tend to grow more rapidly in hot water.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain your sanitizer at the recom-
mended level at all times. Your Spa Choice
®
Spa Kit is available
with either Chlorine or Bromine.
Chlorine is the most common type of sanitizer used to kill bacteria
and algae in spas. It works quickly and is simple to use. If chlorine is
your method of disinfection, Spa Choice
®
Spa Sanitizing Granules
will keep your spa crystal clean.
