AFTER EACH USE
Add 1 ounce of non-chlorine shock/oxidizer
*
or 1/2 ounce of chlorine
*
to the swim spa water.
AS NEEDED
If water looks hazy, check PH and Total Alkilinity, and treat with 1 ounce of chlorine
*
. Always refer
to the chemical manufactures dosage recommendations listed on the container.
These are general recommendations for water quality maintenance that may vary by usage and
or bather load. Depending on bather load and frequency of use, drain and refill times may vary as
well as the frequency of cleaning your filters.
A defoamer may be used when excessive foaming occurs. Over use of a defoamer will result
in cloudy, milky water.
USE ONLY SWIM SPA CHEMICALS
Do not use chemicals designed for use in swimming pools.
With a swim spa you are working with a small volume of hot water compared to a large volume
of relatively cool water in a swimming pool. Because of this chemicals will have a shorted life span
and bacteria can grow more quickly than in a swimming pool. A swim spa is less forgiving then a
pool and requires that whatever is put into it have a pH as close to neutral as possible. That is why
only chemicals made for swim spas or spas should be used. Always refer to the chemical manufac-
tures dosage recommendations listed on the container.
*SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend a minimum level of 1.0 ppm residual chlorine be maintained in swim spa water. Always refer to
the chemical manufacturer’s dosage recommendations listed on the container.
When adding chlorine or non-chlorine shock/oxidizer always broadcast across the water while the pumps are
running.
The quantities of sanitizer and oxidizer shown in this manual are for 500 gallon swim spas and may have to be
adjusted depending on the actual amount of water that your swim spa holds. See the specifications section of
this manual for the correct gallons of your swim spa.
The concentration of active ingredients in swim spa chemicals varies by manufacturer. Swim spa chemicals are
the same as spa chemicals. The amounts of sanitizer suggested in this manual are based on swim spa chemicals
that have the active ingredient percentages listed below:
