Physical Chemical Hazards
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with •
skin, eyes or clothing.
Always wear rubber gloves, protective eye wear •
and clothing to reduce the risk of chemical contact
and irritation.
Remove and wash clothing that may have been •
exposed to chemical contact prior to wearing
them again.
Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious •
injury, sickness, or even death.
Do not mix chemicals. Mixing chemicals together •
can cause dangerous chemical reactions including
the release of toxic gas, re and explosions.
Chemical Storage
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach
of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry.
Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage
may result in serious injury, sickness, re explosion
and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside
the equipment area of your spa.
Chemical Safety

serious injury, sickness, or even death.
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on •
bottles, packages and in your owner’s manual.
Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended •
in the “Clear Water Plan”, or on chemical bottles
and packages. (Most chemical instructions are
gured for a 500 gallon spa however, most spas
hold less than 500 gallons, consult your Owner’s
Manual for the approximate gallons of your spa)
Never mix chemicals together.•
Never change chemical brands or types without •
completely draining, ushing and thoroughly
cleaning the spa and cover rst.
Always protect your eyes while introducing •
chemicals into the spa. Wear protective eyeglasses
to prevent powdered chemicals from blowing into
the eyes or liquid chemicals from splashing into
the eyes.
In the event of overdosing a sanitizing chemical •
(chlorine or bromine), immediately turn off the
power to the spa and drain water to a safe and
approved area. Rell with fresh water and proceed
with the “Clear Water Plan” start up.
