WARNING!
Risk of Chemical Reaction and Noxious Fumes
• Handle Spa Chemicals with Care
• Never pre mix dry chemicals
• Always follow instructions on the label
• Always wear safety goggles and gloves to prevent injury.
• High levels of sanitizer can cause discomfort to eyes, lungs and skin.
• Never enter the spa if chemical levels exceed the recommendations.
Do not use tri-chlor chlorine, bromo-chlor-dimethyl-hydantoin (BCDMH) or any type of compressed bromine or chlorine, acid or any
sanitizer not recommended by your dealer.
Step by Step Instructions to Add Chemicals to Your Spa
1. The water temperature must be at least 80ºF before adding chemicals to prevent damage to the acrylic surface.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Fill a large bucket (minimum 2 gallon capacity )with warm water from the spa. Use care not to splash chemicals
onto the spa cabinet, or the acrylic surface of the spa.
4. Carefully measure the recommended amount of each chemical, one at a time, following the instructions on the
label. Replace the lid on the chemical container.
5. Thoroughly mix the chemical with the bucket of warm water from the spa. Remove the filter basket assembly and
filter.
6. Press the Primary Pump button to turn the pump on high speed.
7. With the pump running on high speed, being careful not to get too close, add warm water and chemical mixture
into the filtration canister.
8. Repeat this procedure with each chemical you add.
9. When all chemicals have been added and with the cover off the spa, run the pumps on high speed for ten minutes.
10. After 10 minutes, reduce the pump speed to low for one full cycle.
11. When the jet cycle is complete, replace the filter and the filter assembly.
12. Replace and lock the cover. Never leave the spa unattended when the cover is off.
HEAVY CLEANING OR DECONTAMINATION
On occasion, it may be necessary to “Super Sanitize” your spa. If algae develops, simply replacing the filter, draining and refilling the
spa will not kill the algae. It will be necessary for you to decontaminate the spa before it can be used safely.
Warning!
Risk of Chemical Reaction and Noxious Fumes
• During the decontamination process, excessive chemical vapors are produced.
• Wear gloves and a protective mask during the decontamination process.
• Keep children and pets away from the spa.
• Remove the spa cover, all pillows and cover the plastic valves to protect them.
• If your spa is indoors, open the windows and doors. Use a fan to circulate the air and force the vapors out of the room.
Step by Step Instructions to Decontaminate your Spa
1. Remove the filter basket assembly, filter and spa pillows. Before adding chemicals, make sure all pumps are
operable. Check to be sure all jets and air valves are open. Cover the diverter, air and waterfall valves are covered
to protect them from splashes.
2. Rotate the waterfall valve for maximum flow and the diverter valves to the center position for even circulation
throughout the entire spa.
3. Turn all pumps on low speed. Fill a large bucket (at least 2 gallon capacity) with warm water. Carefully add 2.5
ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water in the spa and mix thoroughly. For example, if there are 400
gallons of water in your spa, add 10 ounces of sodium dichlor to the large bucket filled with warm water. Turn all of
the pumps on low speed. Gently pour the warm water and chemical mixture into the filter housing. After all of the
sodium dichlor mixture has been added, turn all pumps on their highest speed and allow the water to circulate for
one hour. Do not replace the cover over the spa during decontamination. Never leave the spa unattended while it is
uncovered.
4. After the spa has been allowed to run for one hour, turn off all of the pumps and manually turn the GFCI “off”. Drain
the spa. Follow the instructions to fill the spa. Remember to put a new filter in the foot well of the spa allowing it to
saturate as the spa fills with water.
5. Add chemicals as needed to maintain proper water chemistry.
