Bromine Spa Start-Up
First
off, let’s get it into the light that a spa is not something to be ignored. It can be a very dangerous toy if used improperly. That hot body of water can
be a primordial soup of harmful critters that can cause some very serious
illnesses including pneumonia, legionnaire's disease, staph infections to
name a few. There is absolutely no reason to be concerned with any of these
if you follow a few simple rules. The most important of which is DON’T GET IN
THE SPA UNLESS YOU KNOW IT HAS A GOOD SANITIZER LEVEL. Fill your spa with fresh water; you may use hard or soft water. Soft water simply makes it a whole lot easier. If you are re-filling, make sure you have done all your housekeeping shores such as cleaning the cartridges, polishing the spa’s finish to remove the oxidized finish, and whatever else needs caring for. Follow These Steps:
1. If you have an
iron problem add a double dose of METAL MAGIC (2oz per 100 gallons) as you are filling up the tub. 3. Run Spa at half or low speed for at least an hour.
4.
Add the packet of SODIUM BROMIDE to build up the bromide bank so that the Bromine
tablets will sanitize properly.
5. Add a packet or capful of SPA SHOCK.
6.
Fill the floater with BROMINE TABLETS and put it in the spa.
7.
Let the system run until the water is clear or up to the desired temperature.
8.
If your spa does not clear up in 24 hours, use some SKY BLUE CLARIFIER and run at
low speeds until clear. Also, check your cartridge filters and clean them as
often as necessary until spa clears.
9.
Now you are all set...enjoy! You should not have to do anything except refill
the bromine floater and shock occasionally.
10.
Add SPA PERFECT to enhance water clarity, reduce
foaming and oils, and keeping the filter cleaner.
11.
A couple of times a week, check your spa chemistry with the tests strips. If
LOW readings show on ANY of the colors, adjust immediately. |
