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 specic
balance of the water. Proper balance ensures that the water will not
cause irritation to the users 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 difcult to maintain. Because of this residual
effect, at some point it becomes easier and more cost-effective to
drain, clean and rell 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 31).
