Initial start up & after each cleaning

Handle chemicals with care - Risk of chemical reaction & noxious fumes.

Handle chemicals with care - Risk of chemical reaction & noxious fumes.

Never mix chlorine, bromine, or any other chemical sanitizers. Always read and follow the 
instructions on the bottles. Wear goggles & gloves when handling chemicals. Avoid splashing 
chemicals on the cabinet and acrylic surfaces. 

Clean, clear water is essential for your health and your spa’s. Without chemical 

sanitation, the water in your spa becomes the perfect environment for germs and 

bacteria to grow and spread. The leading preventable cause of spa malfunction 

is poor water chemistry, and while supplemental sanitizers like UV light reduce 

chemical consumption, they don’t replace them entirely.    

BALANCING WATER CHEMISTRY

Each step of a water maintenance program is dependent upon properly adjusting the previous steps to 
within the recommended ranges. Omitting any step or failing to properly adjust to recommended ranges can 
damage the spa and cause bather discomfort.

The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals has established the following range recommendations for spas:

Maintain sanitizer levels

Balance the Total Alkalinity (TA)

Balance the Calcium Hardness (CH) 

Balance the pH

Recommended Range 80 to 120 ppm

Recommended Range 150 to 250 ppm

Recommended Range 7.2 -7.8

Recommended Range Free Chlorine with UV Sanitizer .5 to 1 ppm 

Read and follow all manufacturer’s water chemistry instructions, recommendations and safety 
information beginning on page 15 of the owner’s manual.
