Hot Tub Start-Up Instructions For Bromine or Chlorine
Spa Start-Up: Brominating Concentrate
First Time Start-Up
1. Fill your spa with water. If the make-up water is from a well or other nonmunicipal source, testing prior to filling is recommended.
2. Super-oxidize the spa with Brominating Concentrate with spa circulation system turned on. Run all pumps at least one cycle.
3. Operate the spa circulation system for at least 2 hours.
4. Drain, then rinse interior surfaces and refill. Follow draining instructions in owner s manual. The reason for doing this is because spas are tested with water and when they are shipped there is some water in the plumbing. By super-oxidizing with a sanitizer during a pre-fill, you lessen the opportunity to contaminate the water with bacteria.
