Using Chlorine as a Sanitizer
If you choose to use chlorine as a sanitizer, only use granulated chlorine, not liquid chlorine. We recommend
you use only “Chlorinating Granules”.
Once a week, check the chlorine level using either a test strip or a reagent kit. See the table on the following
page for the ideal range.
Add one or two tablespoons of “Chlorinating Granules” to the spa water weekly. Note that chlorine dissipation
rate will be faster at higher water temperatures and slower at lower temperatures.
When you add chlorine, open all of the jets and run the spa at high speed with the cover open for at least
30 minutes.
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 24 .
Sanitation
After you ll your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your Coleman
®
Spas dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage.
We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly.
DO NOT use trichlor. Trichlor is very acidic and the hot temperature of the spa causes it to
dissolve too quickly. It will cause damage to your spa and will void your warranty.
Sanitizers kill bacteria and other organic waste by breaking them down to non-harmful levels and are ltered
out.
Make sure you follow all instructions as directed by the container or by your dealer.
Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts. It will provide you with clean,
safe, clear spa water with a minimum of effort.
Using Bromine as a Sanitizer
Bromine is a very effective sanitizer that produces low chemical odors. Unlike chlorine, it can break down
bacteria and other impurities to a safe level with a low burn-out rate.
Bromine is available in both granulated and tablet form. Use granulated bromine to establish your bromine
base. Use tablets to maintain it.
When you begin with fresh water, add 2 ounces of sodium bromine. Open all of the jets and run the spa at
high speed. This is your base bromine level as the tablets will take a while to dissolve.
Add two ounces of Oxidizer Shock. Open all of the jets and run on high speed with the cover half open for
at least 30 minutes.
Place three or four bromine tablets into a fl oating bromine dispenser.
Follow the maintenance schedule on page 24 .
