16Adding Start-Up ChemicalsYou should have an adequate supply of chemicals on hand for your hot tub. You should familiarize yourself withthe necessary types and amounts of chemicals to maintain your water at clean and healthy levels. Your dealershould stock the necessary chemicals and is a good source of information on chemicals, procedures, and testingconditions in your area.NOTE: The importance of the chemical balance in the hot tub can not be over-emphasized.WATER MAINTENACEIt may be necessary to replace the hot tub’s water every 3 to 6 months. The frequency depends on a number ofvariables including the frequency of use, number of users, attention paid to water quality maintenance, if equippedwith an ozone unit, etc. You will know it is time for a change when you cannot control studding and/or you can nolonger get the normal feel or sparkle to the water, even though the key water balance measurements are all withinthe proper parameters.CAUTION: Never store spa chemicals inside the spa’s equipment bay!PH BALANCEPH is a measure of water acidity. On a scale of 0 to 14, 7.6 is the ideal point of balance. A measurement below 7.2indicates that your water is more acidic. This water condition results in corrosion of the equipment’s metalcomponents. A measurement above 7.8 indicates that your water is more alkaline. This water condition causescalcium deposits and scaling in the equipment and hot tub. Both conditions are detrimental and cause damage.NOTE: Calcium deposits can also cause a restriction of air and water through your jets. Using astain & scale remover regularly, will greatly reduce the chance of this occurring.CHLORINEGranulated chlorine must be used to remove bacteria and other organic matter from the water. Little or no chlorinecauses water to turn green and unhealthy. Too much chlorine causes water to smell pungent, irritates the eyes andskin, and can cause damage to the heater tube on the power pack.NOTE: Improper pH will destroy the pump seals and heater elements. Damage to componentscaused by improper pH balance or other improper chemistry will not be covered under warranty.Fantasy Spas strongly discourages the use of chemicals that contain Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogenperoxide will eventually cause the light body and lenses (used on all spas) to become brittle andcrack.*Read all labels on chemicals— Do not use any products that omit usage in hot tubs or withozonators. |
