INITIAL ST AR T UP PROCEDURES (dosages are for 360 gallons (1620 litr es) of water) 1. Use your test strips or test kit to test your fill water for pH, total alkalinity to determine any water balance adjustments necessary .
21 4. Once your water has reached the set temperatur e, add your choice of sanitizer , bromine or chlorine. The importance of maintaining an adequate level of sanitizer in your spa can not be overemphasized. W arm water presents a fertile envi- ronment for the gr owth of bacteria and viruses.
2. W ater should be circulating before you take your sample. If the pump has been off, turn it on for a few minutes. If you are using a test kit rinse the sample vial 2 or 3 times with the spa water before you take your sample. Sample the water from 46 cm (18”) below the water surface.
