MAINTAINING YOUR TIDALFIT
CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER
Water from your tap is ne for showers, bathing and drinking. However,
in a contained recirculating system such as in a pool, water must be
treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to
keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specic balance of the water.
Proper balance ensures that the water will not cause irritation to the us-
ers or harm the spa’s components. Chemical treatment does have its
limitations. When water evaporates, chemical residues are left behind.
As the levels of the residues combine with other types of residue, such
as body oil and detergents, your water becomes increasingly difcult
to maintain. Because of this residual effect, at some point it becomes
easier and more cost-effective to drain, clean and rell your pool with
new water. We recommend that the water be changed at least every
six months. At this time you should also clean or replace your lters. If
your pool has a frequent and/or heavy bather load, it may be necessary
to drain and ll your pool more often. Refer to the section titled “Draining
your TidalFit” for instructions (page 44).
WARNING: Pool damage due to improper chemicals is not cov-
ered under warranty.
CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water
and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic
guidelines when handling the chemicals:
1. Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed
otherwise.
2. Never mix different chemicals.
3. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals—follow the
directions on the label.
4. Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.
5. Keep containers closed tightly when not in use.
6. Never add water to the chemicals—always add the chemicals to
the water as directed.
7. Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.
NOTE: When adding chmicals run all pumps for one cycle with
cover off. Do this for each chmical added.
