3.4 IMPORTANT CSA SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CANADA ONLY)
When using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
- READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
- A green colored terminal or a terminal marked ***, Gr, Ground, Grounding or the symbol is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors that supply this equipment. *IEC Publication 417, Symbol 5019.
- At least two lugs marked “Bonding Lugs” are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box/ compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the hot tub to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
- All field-installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 10 feet (3m) of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding buss with copper conductors not smaller than No. 6 AWG (10 mm²).
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Choosing a Location
IMPORTANT: Because of the combined weight of the hot tub, water and
users, it is extremely important that the base upon which the hot tub rests be
smooth, fiat, level and capable of uniformly supporting this weight, without
shifting or settling, for the entire time the hot tub is in place. If the hot
tub is placed on a surface, which does not meet these requirements, damage to
the skirt and/or the hot tub shell may result. Damage caused by improper
support is not covered under warranty. It is the responsibility of the hot tub
owner to assure the integrity of the support at all times. We recommend a
poured, reinforced concrete slab with a minimum thickness of 4 inches (10 cm).
Wood decking is also acceptable provided it is constructed so that it meets
the requirements outlined above.
WARNING: For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms
not specifically tied into main structural support, consult a professional
Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
The hot tub must be installed in such a manner as to provide drainage away
from it. Placing the hot tub in a depression without provisions for proper
drainage could allow rain, overflow and other casual water to flood the
equipment and create a wet condition in which it would sit in. For spas which
will be recessed into a floor or deck, install so as to permit access to the
equipment, either from above or below, for servicing. Make certain that there
are no obstructions, which would prevent removal of all side cabinet side
panels and access to the jet components, especially on the side with the
equipment bay.
CAUTION: If the hot tub is indoors or located in an enclosed area, proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the necessary provisions needed to vent moist or heated air and air associated with chemical odors outdoors. When the hot tub is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape potentially causing mold and mildew. This can cause health risk. Over time, this can damage certain surfaces, surroundings, and equipment.
4.1 Outdoor Location
In selecting the ideal outdoor location for your hot tub, we suggest that you
take into consideration:
- The proximity to changing area and shelter (especially in colder weather).
- The pathway to and from your hot tub (this should be free of debris so that dirt and leaves are not easily tracked into the hot tub).
- The closeness to trees and shrubbery (remember that leaves and birds could create extra work in keeping the hot tub clean).
- A sheltered environment (less wind and weather exposure can result in lowered operation and maintenance costs).
- The overall enhancement of your environment. It is preferable not to place the hot tub under an unguttered roof overhang since run-off water will shorten the life expectancy of the hot tub cover.
- For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifilly tied into main structural support, consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
- In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the hot tub for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your outdoor installation to provide full access to the entire hot tub. Please take this into consideration when placing the hot tub in a deck or enclosed by a surrounding.
- Consider locating your hot tub away from any reflective surface or glass to prevent any damage to the synthetic skirt.
- Do not shim the hot tub. To ensure proper support the hot tub must sit flat on the intended foundation.
4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations many factors need to be considered before installing
a hot tub indoors.
WARNING: In addition to maintenance of filters and water chemistry,
proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk of contracting a
waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory
ailments that could be present in the air or
water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to determine your
specific needs if installing your hot tub indoors.
- Proper Foundation: Consult a Structural Engineer when considering a foundation that will adequately support the hot tub the entire time it is in place. Proper support is critical especially if the hot tub is to rest on a second story or higher. For spas that are to rest on balconies, roofs or other platforms not specifically tied into the main structural support, you should consult a professional Structural Engineer with experience in this type of application.
- Proper Drainage: It is extremely important to have in place measures to suficiently handle excessive water spillage. Be sure the flooring in which the hot tub rests on has adequate drainage and can handle the entire contents of the hot tub. Be sure to make provisions for ceilings and other structures that may be below the spas installation. Areas around your hot tub can become wet or moist so all flooring and subsequent furniture, walls and adjacent structures should be able to withstand or resist water and moisture.
- Proper Ventilation: Proper ventilation should be discussed with an Engineer or authority competent enough to understand the : fed 1 t moist or heated ai air associated with chemical odors outdoors, When the hot tub is in use considerable amounts of moisture will escape, potentially causing mold and mildew over time, which can damage certain surfaces and/or surroundings.
- Sufficient Access: In the unlikely event that you should ever need to access or gain entry to any portion of the hot tub for servicing, it is highly recommended that you plan your indoor installation to provide full access to the entire hot tub.
- Warranty: Damage caused by not following these guidelines or any improper installation not in accordance to local codes or authorities is not covered under the spas warranty. Please consult your local state or city building ordinances.
- Do not shim the hot tub. To ensure proper support the hot tub must sit flat on the intended foundation.

CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE. Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely “hard,” it is preferable to fill halfway with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water.
Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components.
• WARNING: TO DECREASE RISK OF INFECTION OR DISEASE.
Fill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose, to reduce risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments. Fill the spa until the water level is about 6″ below the top of the spa. (DO NOT OVERFILL!).
IMPORTANT: Always fill your hot tub through both filter fittings after draining. Failure to do so may cause air to be trapped in the pumps, preventing them from circulating water. -
Turn On Power
Turn on power to hot tub at the home’s circuit breaker. The filter pumps will turn on for one minute each to blow out the plumbing lines, page 21. Then the heater and circulation pump will automatically activate. Activate Jets Pump 1 to prime the pump, page 23. Let it run for about 10-15 seconds. Repeat this process with all the pumps. Once, all the pumps are primed, cleared of airlocks, and there are no flow errors, reinstall the filter cartridges and close the air bleeder caps. -
Add Start-Up Chemicals
Turn on the jet pumps when adding chemicals in order to circulate the chemicals thoroughly. Add the hot tub water chemicals as recommended by your authorized hot tub dealer. See Section titled “Water Quality Maintenance” for general guidance.
WARNING: RISK OF POISONING OR DEATH.
Never leave chemicals opened and accessible to anyone. Use chemicals according to the vendor’s instructions. Always store chemicals in a safe and/or locked location. Keep away from and out of reach of children. -
Establish A Stable Sanitizer Reading
Establish a stable sanitizer reading of no less than 3.0-4.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. If sanitizer levels cannot be stabilized, perform the decontamination procedure steps 8-14 on the following page. -
Set Hot tub To Heat
To warm hot tub water to a comfortable temperature, follow these steps:
• The display on the control panel displays the actual temperature of the hot tub water. Tap or to increase or decrease the water temperature in 1 degree increments.

Leave hot tub cover open during this step to allow excessive chemical vapors to exit hot tub, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If hot tub is indoors, open doors and windows for proper ventilation. Turn on all hot tub jet pumps for 1 hour and place all massage selector knob(s) in their center “combo” position.
Note: You will need to activate the jet pumps every 30 minutes since these functions have an automatic 30-minute time-out that turns them off.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY!
• To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and animals!
• Use the hot tub straps and clip tie downs to secure the cover when not in use. This will help to discourage unsupervised children from entering the hot tub and keep the hot tub cover secure in high wind conditions. There is no representation that the cover, clip tie downs, or actual locks will prevent access to the hot tub.
• Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin damage). -
Turn off power to the hot tub at the circuit breaker, then drain tub as outlined in Section 13.5.
-
Refill hot tub with clean tap water from garden hose. Fill the spa until the water level is about 6” below the top of the spa. (DO NOT OVERFILL!).
CAUTION: TO DECREASE BUILD UP ON COMPONENTS AND MINIMIZE ACRYLIC DAMAGE.
Never fill with water from a water softener. If your water is extremely “hard,” it is preferable to fill halfway with hard water and the rest of the way with softened water. Water that is too soft can be corrosive to metal components. -
Consult your authorized Dimension One Spas dealer for chemical recommendations, then add chemicals to hot tub water to achieve a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual.
-
Turn on jet pumps when adding chemicals to ensure proper mixing and leave your hot tub cover open until the sanitizer level becomes stable to protect pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
• To decrease the risk of injury, entrapment or drowning, never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible to small children and animals!
• To decrease the possibility of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection, bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water chemistry within step 6 parameters. If you or other bathers experience such a condition, discontinue use and seek medical attention. -
Establish a sanitizer reading no less than 3.0-4.0 ppm free chlorine or 2.0-4.0 ppm bromine, then allow the hot tub to set undisturbed for 8 hours. Retest water after 8 hours to determine if sanitizer levels are stable. If sanitizer levels are stable, your hot tub is ready for use. To ensure healthy water conditions, always maintain a constant sanitizer reading within the levels recommended on the inside cover of this manual. If sanitizer levels are not stable at this time, it will be necessary to repeat this procedure in its entirety until stable sanitizer readings are achieved.
IMPORTANT: Follow the water chemistry parameters as defined by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals. -
After adequate sanitizer levels are achieved, close all hot tub air controls to maximize heat retention when hot tub is not in use.

Hot tub Maintenance
Proper and regular maintenance of your hot tub will help it retain its beauty
and performance. Your authorized Dimension One Spas dealer can supply you with
all the information, supplies, and accessory products you will need to
accomplish this.
DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWNING BY ENTRAPMENT!
- Keep hair, loose articles of clothing or hanging jewelry away from suction fittings, rotating jets or other moving components to avoid entrapment that could lead to drowning or severe injury.
- Never use the hot tub unless all suction guards, filter, fiilter lid, or skimmer assembly are installed to prevent body and/or hair entrapment.
- Never operate or use the hot tub if the filter, filter lid, or skimmer assembly are broken or any part of the skimmer assembly is missing. Please contact your dealer or nearest service center for service.
- The suction fittings and suction covers in this hot tub are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump(s). If it is necessary to replace the suction fittings, suction covers or pump(s), be sure that the flow rates are compatible and are in compliance with the VGB Safety Act, page 6.
- Never replace a suction fitting or suction cover with one rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting. Using improper suction fittings or suction covers can create a body or hair suction entrapment hazard that may lead to drowning or severe injury.
- Owners must alert all hot tub users to the potential risk of Hair, Limb, Body, Evisceration (disembowelment), and Mechanical Entrapment, page 6.
13.1 Cleaning the filters
IMPORTANT: To prevent debris from getting into the system during filter
cleaning, D1 recommends that you shut off the power at the GFCI or enter
“Standby Mode,” page 34.
A. Cleaning the Filter Cartridges
Your system has two filters. To remove and clean the filters, follow these
steps. We recommend that you clean the filters once a month as preventative
maintenance. Every other cleaning, soak the filters in filter cleaning
solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Turn the breaker, to the hot tub, OFF or put the hot tub in “Stand By” mode!
- Access the filter under the skimmer basket, Figure 13.1a, lift the center float off the skimmer assembly until fully extended. Turn counterclockwise until the flats of the basket line up with the securing tabs. Pull the assembly straight up to remove, Figure 13.1c.
- To access the UltraPure filter, turn lid counterclockwise until the flats line up with the securing tabs and pull, Figure 13.1b.

- Rinse the filters with a garden hose and a high-pressure nozzle, Figure 13.1e.
- Reinstall the filters by reversing the steps for removal, replace the skimmer basket or lid and turn the power back on at the GFCI.
B. Cleaning the UltraPure Inner Filter Screen
The Filter Screen is a black plastic perforated cylinder located at the bottom
of the canister that holds the filter. It normally requires no maintenance.
However, if the spa frequently says to clean the filter, or if the spa is
reporting “low water flow,” clean the screen in addition to the filter(s).
IMPORTANT: To prevent debris from getting into the pump, be sure to
remove any floating debris BEFORE removing the filter screen.
- Make sure that the breaker, to the hot tub, is OFF or put the hot tub in “Stand By” mode!
- First, remove the filter(s) as described in the Cleaning the Filter Cartridges section.
- Then locate the black plastic Filter Screen at the base of the filter canister, Figure 13.1f.
- Remove the filter screen by inserting the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver into the slot as shown, Figure 13.1g, and gently apply outward pressure until the catch releases.
- Then lift the black screen to remove it from the filter canister, Figure 13.1h. Clean the screen with water, using pressure from the inside of each screen.
- Press the Filter Screen back onto the base of the spa filter canister.
- Replace the filter into its canister and replace the lid.
- Then turn the power back on or exit the “Standby” Mode, if it was used, as described above.
C. Vision Cartridge
The Vision Cartridge offers D1 hot tub users a natural and effective way to
reduce the use of chemically-based water sanitation systems. Used in
combination with D1 ozone systems, the Vision Cartridge uses silver catalyst
technology that kills 99.96% of impurities on contact. One Vision Cartridge
lasts up to 6 months and can reduce the need for extra chemicals by 60% for
cleaner, healthier and softer water.
13.2 Surface Care
IMPORTANT: Do not use alcohol, ammonia, bleach or any citrus based cleaners
on any of your hot tub surfaces. Do not use “409” type cleaners or other
caustic solutions as they may damage the hot tub shell surface and void the
warranty.
IMPORTANT: Protect the hot tub surface from the sun and the cold! Keep
the hot tub covered when empty of water. Sunlight and extreme cold can damage
the surface and cause it to peel or blister.
Use a hot tub cleaner and a soft rag to clean the inside of your hot tub. Be
sure to thoroughly rinse the shell. After cleaning, you will want to restore
your hot tub shell’s original luster by using Dimension One Spas’ Poli-Gloss.
13.3 Maintaining the Hot Tub Cabinet
The hot tub cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind. To clean,
wipe cabinet with a clean towel and mild detergent soap solution.
CAUTION: Never spray cabinet with a high-pressure garden hose for any
reason since this action may induce an electrical short in the hot tub’s
electrical equipment.
13.4 Pillow Care
Remove and clean the headrest pillows, as needed, with soapy water using a
cloth or soft-bristle brush.
Always remove the pillows when adding chemical shock treatment to the spa
water.
The pillows can be returned to the spa when the sanitizer reading is stable as
recommended.
13.5 Draining
IMPORTANT: Keep the hot tub covered when empty of water. Sunlight and
extreme cold can damage the surface and cause it to peel or blister.
-
Turn power OFF!
-
Locate the hose bib, at the bottom of the hot tub, Figure 13.7a. Make sure that the valve is in the OFF position.
-
Unscrew the cap from the spa drain, Figure 13.7b.
-
Attach one end of your garden hose to the drain valve, Figure 13.7c.
Place the other end in an area safe for water run off. -
Turn the hose bib switch to the open position to release the water, Figure 13.7d.
-
Once the hot tub is drained, turn the switch back to the closed position, remove the hose and reinstall the cap.
13.6 Winterizing
All D1 spas are designed for year-round use. Your hot tub has an automatic
freeze protection mode to circulate water during freezing weather, assuming
the system has electrical power and the proper water level. However, if
freezing weather prohibits normal use, an authorized service provider should
winterize your hot tub. Draining the unit will not prevent freeze damage, as
small amounts of water in the plumbing can expand and damage the system.
Winterizing the unit is specifically not covered by the manufacturers’
warranty, so you should contact a professional to both winterize and restart
your hot tub if necessary. Freeze damage caused by winterizing your system is
specifically not covered by your warranty.
13.7 Special Cold Weather Instructions
The system has a “Smart Winter” freeze protection mode to circulate water
during freezing weather, assuming the system has electrical power and the
proper water level. It will automatically activate the pump(s) to circulate
water. This is a normal hot tub function. No corrective action is necessary.
This feature protects the spa from freezing.
However, if there freezing conditions present and shutting down the spa for
the winter is unavoidable, or where conditions may get too cold for the spa’s
“Smart Winter” mode to prevent freezing, the spa should be Winterized by a
professional Dimension One dealer or authorized service representative.
13.8 Maintaining the Cover
UltraLast™ and UltraLast™ Extreme Covers: Dimension One Spas® is committed to
maintaining the quality of your hot tub. That’s why our patented UltraLast™
and UltraLast™ Extreme Covers have superior durability. They are UV, water,
mold and mildew resistant to protect your tub against environmental exposure.
Vinyl Covers: To maintain a “nearly original” appearance on your vinyl cover,
it is recommended that a protectant with a high SPF (sun protection factor) is
applied at least once a month if exposed to direct sunlight. You will also
want to clean and condition your cover monthly or as needed based on exposure.
For more information, consult your dealer.
A. To clean and condition the encasement (cover skin):
- Use a garden hose to remove any debris.
- Using a large sponge or soft bristle brush, use diluted or mild soap to gently scrub the top.
- Rinse and clean and do not allow soap to dry on the cover. Do not use soap on the underside of the cover.
- Please check with your Dimension One Spas dealer for recommended cover care and conditioning products. Use nonpetroleum based conditioners to keep the vinyl supple.
- Do not use any solvents, abrasive cleaners or strong detergents.
Do not use products that contain silicone or alcohol.
B. Additional Care and Maintenance Instructions:
- Debris can accumulate on the spa cover. Removal of snow or other debris will help to avoid breakage of the foam cores.
- Be sure to lock the cover straps to secure the cover from unwanted or accidental entry.
- Do not place heavy objects on the vinyl.
- Do not walk, sit or stand on the cover.
- Do not drag or use the flaps/skirt or the cover lock straps to remove the cover.
- Use only recommended cover lift systems.
- Use only chemicals and cleaners recommended by Dimension One Spas.
- Remember to keep spa covered when not in use.
- Do not expose your spa to the sun for extended periods of time as UV rays can damage the interior surface.
- Use caution when removing cover. Before removing cover, assure all locks have been released to avoid lock breakage and/or cover strap damage.
13.9 Restarting Your Hot Tub in Cold Weather
If you want to start up your hot tub after it has sat empty for a time in
freezing temperatures, be aware that the water remaining in certain sections
of the piping may still be frozen. This situation will block water flow
preventing the hot tub from operating properly and possibly damaging the
equipment. We recommend you consult your dealer for guidance before attempting
to restart your hot tub under these conditions.
Water Quality Maintenance
To decrease the risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection,
bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments, maintain water quality within
specified limits. This will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the life of the
hot tub’s equipment. Doing so requires regular attention because the water
chemistry involved is a balance of several factors. Procrastination regarding
water maintenance will result in poor and potentially unhealthful conditions
for soaking and even damage to your hot tub investment. For specific guidance,
on maintaining water quality, consult your authorized dealer who can recommend
the appropriate chemical products.
WARNING: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN WATER QUALITY WILL:
- Increase risk of contracting a waterborne illness (e.g. an infection bacteria or virus) and/or respiratory ailments.
- Damage the equipment, components and hot tub shell, which are not covered under the hot tub’s warranty.
CAUTION: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s equipment
bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated temperatures, this is where high
voltage electronic devices are located. This area is not intended for storage
of any kind.
14.1 UltraPure™ Plus
WARNING: ALLOW LAMP TO COOL DOWN PRIOR TO REMOVING FROM HOUSING.
DANGER: NEVER LOOK AT THE LIT BULB. THIS CAN CAUSE SEVERE EYE DAMAGE OR
BLINDNESS.
UltraPure Plus water management is the most advanced, UL-approved water
purification system in the industry, Figure 14.1a. This dual system allows for
jets and pumps to work in harmony, so you’ll never have to sacrifice jet
performance while cleaning your water. This patented system builds on
UltraPure™ by introducing ultra violet light to the equation. Together ozone
and UV light are unstoppable. UV light comes in contact with 10,000 gallons of
water per day, meticulously neutralizing any remaining impurities. Enjoy
clean, pure water and peace of mind. This system can be found on the Bay
Collection.
The UltraPure Plus Water Management System silently purifies your water,
eliminating bacteria by mixing ozone with water and emitting a second UV light
frequency that neutralizes water impurities. In order to keep the UltraPure
Plus System running at its best, it is re-commended that you change the UV
bulb every 18 months. The UltraPure Plus UV compartment is located within the
equipment bay. Contact your authorized Dimension One Spas dealer for
replacement parts and/or to service your UltraPure Plus System.
WARNINGS:
- Do not operate the UV-C emitter when it is removed from the appliance enclosure.
- This appliance contains a UV-C emitter.
- Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the housing may result in the escape of dangerous UV-C radiation. UV-C radiation may, even in little doses, cause harm to the eyes and skin.
- Appliances that are obviously damaged must not be operated.
- Read the maintenance instructions before opening the appliance.
14.2 pH Control
pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is measured on
a scale of 0 to 14. The midpoint of 7 is said to be neutral, above which is
alkaline and below which is acidic. In hot tub water, it is very important to
maintain a slightly alkaline condition of 7.4 to 7.6. Problems become
proportionately severe the further outside of this range the water gets. A low
pH will be corrosive to metals in the hot tub equipment. A high pH will cause
minerals to deposit on the interior surface (scaling). In addition, the
ability of the sanitation agents to keep the hot tub clean is severely
affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all hot
tub water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.
14.3 Sanitizing
To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the hot tub water, a sanitizer
must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular
sanitizers used to date. Many other additives are available for your hot tub.
Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water; some aid in
cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter the feel or smell of the
water. When adding hot tub shock (chlorine or nonchlorine) or pH balancing
chemicals activate the jet pump(s) and leave the hot tub cover open for a
minimum of 20 minutes. By doing this you will allow excessive chemical vapors
to exit the hot tub, protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical
attack.
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DROWNING OR ENTRAPMENT! Never leave
your hot tub unattended for any reason while the cover is open and accessible,
especially to small children and animals!
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR HOT TUB DAMAGE! Never add chlorine
tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for any reason! These chemicals may
damage components within your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a
rash and void the manufacturer warranty for your hot tub.
14.4 Other Additives
Many other additives are available for your hot tub. Some are necessary to
compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in cosmetic water treatment and
others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. For speci昀椀c guidance, on
maintaining water quality, consult your authorized dealer who can recommend
the appropriate chemical products.
