13. Importance of Keeping Your swim Spa Water Balanced and Sanitized.
Please remember: the temperature of the spa water is most often set at 99°F / 37°C which means that there’s huge opportunity for bacteria growth in a swim spa. It can also cause cloudy water, generate excess foaming and damage the spa surface as well as the equipment (pump seal, covers, cushions, create rust).
MAINTAIN CLEAN WATER — HOW TO PROCEED:

1. Filtration: The filtration cycle is pre-set at the factory and runs for 2 hours, four times a day, for a total of 8 hours per 24 hour period. Remember to clean your filter on a weekly basis.
2. pH: If your pH is unbalanced you will have a low disinfection efficiency and also risk to damaging the equiment. The ideal pH range for spas is 7.2 to 7.6. To keep between these parameters, you will need a to use a test kit.
3. Sanitizers
   Sanitizers are used to effectively disinfect and keep water smelling fresh. The two most popular ones are chlorine andbromine. You can test these by using a test kit, follow theprocedures written on the bottles to place the proper dosage 3.0 – 5.0 PPM for Bromine. We suggest a shock sanitization on the first fill or water change. This operation can be repeated up to once a month or more regularly with a Shock chemical.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: please check the volume of your hot tub or swim spa before you dose the chemicals products. All the instructions regarding the amount of chemicals to place in your pool are specified on each bottle (PH, Sanitizer, Test kits  tc.).
Especially at the beginning of your chemical water care learning, we suggest you place the chemicals in separate bucket in which you have extracted water from your swim spa in order to prevent any chemical surcharge.
14. Next Level… SANITIZERS
Chlorine: Chlorine is a very effective sanitizer; it has been used in pools and spas for many years but is not popular because of its harshness, strong odor and is less stable in hot water. If this is the sanitizer that you have chosen you will find it available in  granular and tablet forms. The Chlorine levels to maintain a bacteria free spa is 1-3 ppm. A test kit or test strips are required to help achieve this balance. This choice is the most popular and convenient because it is very aggressive and works very quickly.
Bromine: Bromine is very effective and does not have a “strong odor” that chlorine typically has. It is available in granular and tablet form. To maintain a bacteria free tub the correct levels for bromine is 3.0 – 5.0 PPM. Bromine is a slower reacting sanitizer which means closer monitoring of the levels is required, this is done by using a test kit or test strips.
Scale: We suggest you use a Scale Inhibitor regularly to ensure no damage or scaling of equipment and swim spa surface.
Total Alkalinity (TA): If the water does not have enough Alkalinity, the water will draw from other minerals. This will result in equipment corrosion. Use TAt to increase Alkanlinity level (pH down will reduce it) — Check Alaklinity level once a week. Total alkalinity readings should stay inside the acceptable range. Be careful, pH lowering chemicals will lower the total alkalinity as well. Again, to help achieve these readings you will need a test kit or test strips.
Please Note: Consult your local retailer for bestpractices on water chemistry. Also when adding chemicals your swim spa cover should be off and the swim spa jets running.

HYPERTHERMIA
Since your hot tub can be set to reach temperatures of 40°C (104° F), users should be aware that extended submersion in water that exceeds normal body temperature can lead to hyperthermia. The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia may be de-scribed as follows: Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F).
The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include:

• Unawareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit the hot tub
• Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning
• Physical inability to exit the hot tub
• Fetal damage in pregnant woman

If you sense any of the symptoms of hyperthermia, safely exit the swim spa immediately.
