start up chemicals and supplies

Here is a basic list of chemicals and supplies needed before you jump in to your spa. The availability of certain chemicals may vary from place to place. See your dealer for these items and directions on how to properly use them.


Stain & scale inhibitor – neutralizes metals, clarifies water, and helps prevent scaling.


Alkalinity increaser – raises total alkalinity, buffers against erratic pH fluctuation.


PH up – raises the pH of the spa water.


PH down – lowers pH of the spa water.


Calcium hardness increaser – protects against the effects of soft water, which can cause corrosion to some components in your spa.


Spa shock - oxidizes organic compounds, clarifies water.


Spa sanitizer – Bromine or chlorine tablets are the main source of chemical sanitation.


If your spa is equipped with the SPA FROG or SALT SYSTEM, please refer to the separate operating manuals enclosed for these systems.


Filter cleaner – for soaking and cleaning dirty filter cartridges


Additional Supplies


  • Floating thermometer – although your spa has a digital read-out on the top-side control, this is a secondary device to make sure it’s safe to enter the spa.
  • Test kit or test strips – meant for quick, easy check of the water’s chemical balance. This should not take the place of regular trips to your dealer for more accurate testing.
  • Replacement filters – makes it convenient to change out clogged or dirty filter cartridges.See your dealer for regular water tests and information on keeping your spa water balanced.
