Chemical Safety
•
Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death.
•
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles, packages and in your owner’s manual.
•
Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended in the “Clear Water Plan”, or on chemical bottles and
packages. (Most chemical instructions are figured for a 500 gallon spa however, most spas hold less than
500 gallons, consult your Owner’s Manual for the approximate gallons of your spa)
•
Never mix chemicals together.
•
Never change chemical brands or types without completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning
the spa and cover first.
•
Always protect your eyes while introducing chemicals into the spa. Wear protective eyeglasses to
prevent powdered chemicals from blowing into the eyes or liquid chemicals from splashing into the
eyes.
•
In the event of overdosing a sanitizing chemical (chorine or bromine), immediately turn off the power to
the spa and drain water to a safe and approved area. Refill with fresh water and proceed with the “Clear
Water Plan” start up.
Physical Chemical Hazards
•
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
•
Always wear rubber gloves, protective eye wear and clothing to reduce the risk of chemical contact and
irritation.
•
Remove and wash clothing that may have been exposed to chemical contact prior to wearing them
again.
•
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious injury, sickness, or even death.
•
Do not mix chemicals. Mixing chemicals together can cause dangerous chemical reactions including the
release of toxic gas, fire and explosions.
Chemical Storage
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry.
Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage may result in serious injury, sickness, fire explosion and
even death. Do not store your chemicals inside the equipment area of your spa.
