Dos And Don'ts - glass 1989 Infinity Bedienungs- & Wartungsanleitung

to drain and refill the spa. Depending on the soap input, the water should last about 4
months before needing to be drained.

DOS AND DON'TS

• DON'T use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.
• DON'T splash pH increaser additives on the siding.
EN
• DON'T use Compressed Sanitizers.
The use of bromine sticks or tablets in floaters, which may become entrapped
in a lounge or cooling seat (or sink to the spa floor), have been shown to cause
discoloration of or surface distress to a spa's shell.
• DON'T use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance solution to
your spa maintenance program.
The spa shell can easily withstand the effects of a properly administered sanitizer.
Floating dispensers can become trapped in one area and cause an over-sanitization(or
chemical burn) of that particular area.
If the dispenser setting is too high, the high concentration can discolor the spa
shell and damage the underside of the cover. Automatic floating dispensers have a
tendency to either over-brominate or under-brominate as the rate of erosion varies
greatly. Damage to the spa and cover can occur very quickly.
IMPORTANT: Manufacturer does not recommend the use of any floating chemical
dispenser. Damage to the spa shell or components caused by a floating chemical
dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
• DON'T use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.
• DON'T use household bleach (liquid sodium hypochlorite).
• DON'T broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface. This method may
cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering (chemical abuse).
• DO add all chemicals slowly into or in front of the filter compartment with the jet pump
operating for ten minutes.
• DO use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or exterior plastic
surfaces.
• DO use only a granular form of sanitizer (chlorine).
COMMON WATER CHEMISTRY QUESTIONS
Question: Why is the use a floater not recommended to sanitize my spa water?
Answer: Manufacturer does not recommend the use of a floater for three reasons:
1.The floater is unable to control the rate at which the sanitizer is dissolved into the
water. When a floater is first placed in a spa, the sanitizer level can be extremely high.
High sanitizer levels can chemically burn or discolor the spa's shell or the underside
of the cover. Then, after a period of time, the sanitizer level dispensed by the floater
will fall to near zero. A low sanitizer level will allow viruses, bacteria or algae to grow.
2.Floaters tend to stay in one area of the spa most of the time, causing this area to be
exposed to extreme sanitizer levels.
3.The floater may allow pieces of the highly concentrated sanitizer to fall out and settle
on the floor of the spa shell. These pieces of sanitizer will chemically burn (blister) the
spa shell. Although your spa shell is specifically designed to resist the effects of spa
chemicals, no spa surface can withstand this type of highly concentrated chemical.
