Disinfecting Your Spa
Note:
If not enough disinfectant is being
dispensed even at higher settings,
remove the dispensing limiter
found inside the tablet chamber of
the dispenser.
Warning:
Risk of fire and/or explosion. Under no circumstance should you
mix trichloro-s-triazinetrione with bromine or other chemicals.
Use one chemical only. Never mix. Never switch from one
chemical to the other without thoroughly cleaning out the
previously used chemicals.
Disinfectants [chlorine or bromine] have strong oxidizing properties that
kill bacteria and destroy other materials.
Your spa is equipped with a disinfectant dispenser, enabling you to keep
your spa clean and healthful with a minimum of effort. This dispenser is
designed to use bromine or trichloro-s-triazinetrione tablets of the slow
dissolving type.
Adjust your disinfectant dispenser as follows:
1. Verify proper disinfectant level by checking the spa water with an
appropriate test kit. A level between 3-5 ppm should be
maintained.
2. Start by adjusting the control valve on the dispenser to position 3.
3. Make small gradual changes in the setting until your test kit
verifies the proper setting. [The higher the setting, the more
disinfectant will be dispensed].
4. Increase the disinfectant level to 5 - 10 ppm once a week. This is
called "superchlorination" or "superbromination". This procedure
aids in the formation of active disinfectant.
Recharge your disinfectant dispenser as follows:
1. Turn off power at GFCI or circuit breaker before performing any
service or see standby mode section for DS-2 & DS-4 power pack.
2. Remove disinfectant dispenser from filter housing.
3. Remove check valve assembly by turning counterclockwise.
4. Fill with trichloro-s-triazinetrione or bromine tablets or sticks
which are 1" in diameter.
5. Install check valve assembly. Do not overtighten.
6. Install dispenser on filter.
7. Turn on at GFCI or circuit breaker.
