Chemical Safety
Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended
on chemical bottles and packages.
Never change chemical brands or types without
completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning
the spa and cover first.
Never mix chemicals together.
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. 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.
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.
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages . Failure to follow
chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death .
Do not use shock with the Cal Clarity
II bromine generator. See page 36 for
instructions on its use.
Shocking the Water
In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will
periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the
water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria,
and other organic material from your spa’s water and
improves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage
your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer
shock. It can be used with either chlorine or bromine
sanitizers.
Add one ounce of oxidizer shock once a week, after
heavy bather loads, or if water has a strong odor.
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for
30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat
oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.
“Bather Load” is the term used to describe the number
of people using a spa, combined with the length of
usage, and the frequency of usage. All these factors
have a great effect on the spa water. The higher the
bather load, the more chemicals need to be added
and a longer filtration time will be needed.
Recommendations are designed for spas with average
bather load (3 to 4 people, 15 minutes of usage, three
times a week at 100 degrees) If your bather load
exceeds these guidelines, and you experience water
quality problems, increase the amount of filtration
first, (go to the next higher filtration number) then if
water quality is still not adequate, consult the advice
of your Cal Spas dealer for additional chemical or
system recommendations. Be sure to give them your
bather load information.
