Shocking the Water
In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water 
helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and improves 
your sanitizer’s effectiveness.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. The only shock you should 
use is Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock. It is an easy way to maintain either chlorine or bromine chemical plans.
For best results use the directions below.
Add one ounce of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock:
Once a week
• 
After heavy bather loads
• 
If water has a strong odor
• 
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat 
oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.
Chemical Safety
Do  not  exceed  chemical  dosages  as  recommended 
in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and 
packages.
Never  change  chemical  brands  or  types  without 
completely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning 
the spa and cover first.
Never mix chemicals together.
Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, 
eyes  or  clothing.  Remove  and  wash  clothing  that 
may have been exposed to chemical contact prior to 
wearing them again.
Inhaling  or  ingesting  chemicals  will  cause  serious 
injury, sickness, or even death.
Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach 
of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry. 
Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage 
may result in serious injury, sickness, fire explosion 
and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside 
the equipment area of your spa.
Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages . Failure 
to  follow  chemical  directions  may  result  in  serious  injury,  sickness,  or  even 
death .
