SANITIZING
To destr9y bacteria and organic compounds in the
spa water, a sanitizer must be used regularly. The
use of a bromine floater is recommended. By 'reg-
ulating the amount of tablets, the amount the
floater is open and the length of the filtration
cycles, you can control the amount of bromine in
your spa. A bromine residual of 2 to 3 ppm is gen-
erally considered desirable. A two-part bromine
system or granular chlorine (didtlor) are also
acceptable sanitizers.

rinse it and remove the debris.
B. Using a large sponge or soft cloth and a mild
soap solution (1 teaspoon dish washing liquid
with 2 gallons of water), scrub lightly in circu-
lar motion. Then nru;e it thoroughly with
plenty of water.
C. Condition the vinyl after cleaning by applying
a thin film of vinyl conditioner such as

spa water. The recommended pH for spa water is
7.4 to 7.6 ppm. Below 7.0 ( considered neutral), the
spa water is acidic and can cause damage to the
heating system. Above 7.8 the water is too alka-
line and can result in cloudy water and scale for-
mation on the spa shell, heater and cover.

TABLETS (IRICHLOR) IN YOUR SPA.

effect on ce~ materials in the spa. Also, the use
of liquids, chlorine or acid, are not recommended.
