Water treatment is an important factor in the enjoyment of your Vita Spa. Proper water sanitation is essential to your health as well as permitting years of trouble-free use of your spa. The most common water chemistry problems that can damage your spa are:
1. Improper pH maintenance. pH balance is critical to proper water maintenance. Too low of a pH level will result in corrosion of the spa’s components.
2. Not pre-dissolving chemicals before adding to the water.
3. Use of improper chemicals.
4. Over chlorinization. Sodium dichlor is the recommended type of sanitizer. Sodium dichlor dissolves easily and has a neutral pH, which minimizes the effect that the addition of a sanitizer has on a pH balance. Trichlor compounds are not recommended because they have a very low pH, and are very potent and difficult to dissolve.
