CHEMICAL HANDLING SAFETY HINTS
Never pre-mix chemicals with each other prior to adding to hot tub water.
Add only one chemical to the water at a time.
Always add chemicals to water and not vice-versa.
Chemicals may be corrosive, so handle with care and store in a cool dark place.
Never smoke near chemicals as most are flammable
Ensure any spilled chemicals are carefully cleaned up immediately.
Always have the POISON CONTROL telephone number handy in the event of an emergency.
Keep chemicals out of children‘s reach
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling chemicals.
INITIAL WATER FILL AND BALANCE
1) Make sure the hot tub water is circulating and above 20°C (68°F)
2) Add a sequesterant (stain and scale controller). Allow water to circulate for an hour before adding
anything else to the hot tub water.
3) Add a Shock / oxidizing agent.
4) Add sanitizing tablets (Bromine or Chlorine) to the dispenser:
Built in dispenser: if your Hydropool hot tub was ordered with the optional built in bromine/chlorine dispenser,
(located under the basket of the cartridge filter housing), refer to section CARTRIDGE FILTER for details on
removing and re-installing the lid. Once the filter lid is removed, you’ll notice a clear 2.5 cm (1 in.) tube
extending from the bottom of the basket. Expose the large Refill hole at the end of the tube and add 5 or 6
tablets. Do not overfill dispenser as performance will be affected. Turn to expose the most number of smaller
holes and allow water to circulate for 3 to 4 hours before testing level. Adjust to lesser number of holes as
necessary to maintain a level of 2-4 PPM Sanitizer.
Floating dispenser: As above, add 6 or 7 tablets, adjust initially to ‘5’, allow water to circulate for 3 to 4 hours,
then test. The tablets will dissolve slowly over a 10-14 day period, depending on dial setting, and use of the hot
tub.
5) Test pH and Total Alkalinity and adjust accordingly.
