Vinyl And Leather Cleaner
Specifically designed to clean and protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and
ultraviolet damage. Use with any “Clear Water Plan”.
Cal Balance Magnetic Water Stabilizer
Promotes clean water naturally by organizing water molecules into appositive charge.
Helps coagulate debris for improved filtration, and also traps calcium and scale into a
suspension that gives spa water a soft, silky feel.
Use with any “Clear Water Plan”.
Traditional Chemical Start Up
Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to
extend water life and performance. If you are following either the Bromine or Chlorine “Clear Water Plans”,
you will notice that both start-up processes are the same with the exception of Step 7. As with all chemical
dosages listed in these “Clear Water Plans”, start-up dosages are intended for 500-gallon spas. Please adjust the
chemical dosages to the capacity of your particular spa.
