CAUTION: Never store swim spa chemicals inside the swim spa’s equipment bay. The
equipment bay may reach elevated temperatures, this is where high voltage electronic
devices are located. This area is not intended for storage of any kind.
14.1 pH Control
pH is a measure of relave acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured on a scale of 0 to 14.
The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which is alkaline and below which is acidic. In
swim spa water, it is important to maintain a slightly alkaline condion of 7.4 to 7.6. Problems
become proporonately severe the further outside of this range the water gets. A low pH will
be corrosive to metals in the swim spa equipment. A high pH will cause minerals to deposit on
the interior surface (scaling). In addion, the ability of the sanitaon agents to keep the swim
spa clean is severely affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all
swim spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanizer.
14.2 Sanizing
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the swim spa water, a sanizer must be used
regularly. Chlorine and bromine are two most popular sanizers used to date. The “Proclear™
Mineral Spa Clarifier” designed especially for your swim spa is a beneficial product for water
maintenance. Many other addives are available for your swim spa. Some are necessary to
compensate for out of balance water; some aid in cosmec water treatment and others
simply alter the feel or smell of the water. You authorized Jacuzzi® dealer can advise you on
the use of these addives. When adding spa shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing
chemicals acvate the jet pump(s) and leave the swim spa cover open for a minimum of 20
minutes. By doing this you will allow excessive chemical vapors to exit the swim spa,
protecng pillows and plasc knobs from chemical aack.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DROWNING OR ENTRAPMENT!
Never leave your swim spa unaended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible,
especially to small children and animals.
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SWIM SPA DAMAGE!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your swim spa for any reason! These chemicals
may damage components within your swim spa, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and
void the manufacturer warranty for your swim spa.
