Starting Up Your Spa
With Spa Essentials

Just follow the simple steps below - and then enjoy a relaxing, soothing soak.

1. Fill spa with water and add 2 tablespoons (4 capfuls) of Spa Essentials Stain and Scale Control per 300 gallons during filling. This establishes initial protection against staining and scaling.

2. Test spa water and balance as needed. Maintain proper water balance factors to help protect spa equipment and ensure comfortable water. Water Balance Factor Proper Range pH 7.2 - 7.6 Total Alkalinity 100 - 150 ppm Calcium Hardness 150-300 ppm

3. To establish an initial sanitizer reading, add chlorine or bromine and maintain at recommended levels to kill bacteria and keep spa water clean.

If you prefer to use chlorine:
Add Spa Essentials Chlorinating Concentrate at a rate of 1/2 teaspoon per 100 gallons. Repeat additions every 15 -20 minutes until a 3 - 5 ppm chlorine residual is established. Use water test strips or test kit to check sanitizer level.

If you prefer to use bromine:
Add Spa Essentials Brominating Concentrate at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 200 gallons. Repeat additions every 15 - 20 minutes until a 3 - 6 ppm bromine residual is established. Or add Brominating Tablets to an automatic feeder or floater to establish bromine level. Use water test strips or test kit to check sanitizer level.
