CauTIOn: Never store hot tub chemicals inside the hot tub’s 

equipment bay. The equipment bay may reach elevated tempera-

tures, this is where high voltage electronic devices are located. This 

area is not intended for storage of any kind.

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 spa 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 spa 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 spa clean is severely 

affected as the pH moves beyond the ideal range. That is why almost all 

spa water test kits contain a measure for pH as well as sanitizer.

To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the spa water, a sanitizer 

must be used regularly. Chlorine and bromine are the two most popular 

sanitizers used to date. The “Proclear” Mineral Spa Clarifier” designed 

especially for your hot tub is a beneficial product for water maintenance. 

Many other additives are available for your spa. 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. Your authorized Jacuzzi 

dealer can advise you on the use of these additives. When adding spa 

shock (chlorine or non-chlorine) or pH balancing chemicals activate the 

jets pump(s) and leave the spa cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes. 

By doing this you will allow excessive chemical vapors to exit the spa, 

protecting pillows and plastic knobs from chemical attack.

Never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while the 

cover is open and accessible, especially to small children and 

animals!

Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for 

any reason! These chemical may damage components within 

your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash and void 

the manufacturer warranty for your spa.
