Spa Safety Tips

• Read and follow all label directions before using chemicals or adding them to your spa water.
• Always add chemicals to spa water, never water to chemicals.
• Add each chemical separately.
• Wait 15 minutes before adding any additional chemicals.
• Do not combine different chemicals before adding them to the spa water.
• Accurately measure amounts when adding chemicals. NEVER OVERDOSE! Adding more than the
  recommended amount will most often cause problems, not solve them.
• Whenever you add chemicals to your spa, let the water circulate for at least 30 minutes
  before use. This lets the chemicals thorouly mix with the water.
• Keep all chemicals away from your face and never inhale fumes.
• Never smoke around chemicals.
• In an emergency involving chemicals, follow label directions. Always keep emergency phone
  numbers handy.
• Always re-close chemicals tightly after use and store in a cool dry place.
• Store chemicals according to the manufacturer’s label and keep out of the reach
  of children.
• All chemicals, if not handled properly, may be dangerous.
• Maintain proper sanitation levels.
• Never heat your spa above 104 decrees Fahrenheit.
• Limit your spa session to 15 minutes.
• All users should shower without soap before entering the hot tub to remove excess
  deodorant, lotion and body oils.
• Adult supervision must be present when children are using the spa.
• Do not consume alcohol while using the spa.
• If you are pregnant, have high blood pressure or other cardiovascular condition, consult a physician before using a spa.

Automatic Cleaners

A suction cleaner works off the vacuum of
the pool’s filtration system to suck debris from the pool bottom and does
not require a separate booster pool pump. This is the least expensive
automatic pool cleaner to purchase and is the easiest to install. It cleans
whenever the pool filter is running. A suction pool cleaner is highly
recommended only if the pool if relatively free from heavy leaves, pine
needles and twigs.

water as it helps distribute pool chemicals.
