Basic Chemical Safety
When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions precisely. Though chemicals protect you and
your spa when used correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe the following guide-
lines:
• ALWAYS KEEP CHEMICALS OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH.
• NEVER MIX CONCENTRATED CHEMICALS TOGETHER.
• ALWAYS THOROUGHLY RINSE ANY CONTAINER USED TO MIX CHEMICALS AFTER USE.
• ALWAYS RINSE OUT ANY EMPTY CHEMICAL STORAGE CONTAINER BEFORE DISPOSAL.
• Accurately measure the quantities specified. Do not overdose your spa. Amount required
will vary depending on water condition, quantities to be used are only guidelines.
• Store chemicals in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
• Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use.
• Don't inhale fumes or allow chemicals to come in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Wash
your hands immediately after use.
• Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental contact.
• Never smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be flammable.
• Don't store any chemicals in the spa equipment compartment.
IMPORTANT "SUPER CHLORINATION / NON-CHLORINE SHOCk TREATMENT"
NOTE:
After administering a super chlorination treatment or non-chlorine shock to your spa, leave the cover
open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the oxidizer gas to vent. A high concentration of trapped
oxidizer gas which may exist as a result of the shock treatment (not daily sanitation) may eventually cause
discoloration or vinyl degradation to the bottom of the cover. This type of damage is considered chemical
abuse and is not covered under warranty.
Balance the Total Alkalinity (TA)
1. The recommended Total Alkalinity (TA) for your spa water is 80-120 ppm.
Balancing the pH
1. The recommended pH range for your spa water is; 7.2-7.6.
Calcium Hardness (CH)
1. Most spa manufacturers recommend a Calcium Hardness (CH) level for your spa of 150-200 ppm.
However, we do not recommend adding calcium to your spa if your spa water is above 100 ppm, or if your
incoming water has a very low level of calcium hardness.
Sanitize the Spa
Sanitizer is extremely important for killing algae, bacteria and viruses, and preventing unwanted organisms from
growing in the spa. At the same time, you don't want too high a sanitizer level, or it can irritate your skin, lungs
and eyes.
1. Always maintain the sanitizer level in your spa at the recommended level for each type of sanitizer.
2. We recommend the following sanitizers:
For a Chlorine System: Pool Boss Mini Tabs, Spa Oxidizing Shock, Spa Chlorinating Granules.
For a Bromine System: Bromine Tablets, Spa Oxidizing Shock, Chlorinating Granules.
IMPORTANT: Sanitizers are acidic and will decrease the Total Alkalinity. Regular testing and balancing of TA is
extremely important with these products. This is why Apollo Spas Alkalinity Increaser is part of
the system.
IMPORTANT: Always remove floating dispenser while the spa is not in use. Remove dispenser with a plastic
bucket (keeping submerged) and store out of reach of children until spa use has ended.
