MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont...

CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER

Water from your tap is ne for showers, bathing and drinking. However,

in a contained recirculating system such as in a spa, water must be

treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to

keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specic balance of the water.

Proper balance ensures that the water will not cause irritation to the us-

ers or harm the spa’s components. Chemical treatment does have its

limitations. When water evaporates, chemical residues are left behind.

As the levels of the residues combine with other types of residue, such

as body oil and detergents, your water becomes increasingly difcult

to maintain. Because of this residual effect, at some point it becomes

easier and more cost-effective to drain, clean and rell your spa with

new water. We recommend that the water be changed at least every

six months. At this time you should also clean or replace your lters. If

your spa has a frequent and/or heavy bather load, it may be necessary

to drain and ll your spa more often. Refer to the section titled “Draining

your spa” for instructions (page 28).

WARNING: Spa damage due to improper chemicals is not covered

under warranty.
