If the dispenser setting is too high, the high concentration can discolor the spa shell and damage the underside of the cover. Automatic floating dispensers have a tendency to either over-brominate or under-brominate as the rate of erosion varies greatly. Damage to the spa and cover can occur very quickly.
WARNING: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation DOES NOT recommend the use of any floating chemical dispenser. Damage to
the spa shell or components caused by a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.

COMMON WATER CHEMISTRY QUESTIONS Question: Why can’t I use a floater to sanitize my spa water? Answer: Watkins does not recommend the use of a floater for three reasons. 1. The floater is unable to control the rate at which sanitizer is dissolved into the water. When a floater is first placed in a spa, the
sanitizer level can be extremely high. High sanitizer levels can chemically burn or discolor the spa’s shell or the underside of the cover. Then, after a period of time, the sanitizer level dispensed by the floater will fall to near zero. A low sanitizer level will allow viruses, bacteria or algae to grow.
2. Floaters tend to stay in one area of the spa most of the time (usually over the cool down seat), causing this area to be exposed to
extreme sanitizer levels.
3. The floater may allow pieces of the highly concentrated sanitizer to fall out and settle on the floor or seat of the spa shell. These
pieces of sanitizer will chemically burn (blister) the spa shell. Although your spa shell is specifically designed to resist the effects of spa chemicals, no spa surface can withstand this type of highly concentrated chemical. Remember, chemical abuse is specifically not covered under the terms of the warranty.
