WATER TREATMENT

The water must be "inviting", that is, clear, limpid and free from
those substances that, accumulating, can create a suitable
environment for the growth and spread of bacteria; for this
reason, as well as being filtered continuously, the water must
be chemically treated by using appropriate additives.
There are many products on the market for water disinfection
and they vary in terms of cost and method of use.
The suggestions provided here cover only the general as-
pect of a complicated topic such as water treatment. If
special problems or situations occur, it is advisable to con-
tact specialised companies, who will unquestionably be
able to provide the best solution.

DISINFECTANTS FOR SPAS AND POOLS FOR SPAS
AND POOLS
Certain disinfectants used in large swimming pools, such as
trichlorine, calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite, are
not suitable for spas.
Trichlorine tablets permanently stain the methacrylate (after
prolonged direct contact), calcium hypochlorite (normally avail-
able in granules) encourages calcium deposits and sodium
hypochlorite (which is liquid) will permanently damage the
methacrylate if poured onto it directly.
"Chloroisocyanurates" are chloro-organic derivatives that are
more suitable for spas; moreover, these products are particularly
suitable if the spa is located outdoors, as they act as stabilizers
and prevent sunlight from depleting the action of chlorine.
Another type of disinfectant is bromine; this has an advan-
tage over chlorine, in that it is less of an irritant, has less influ-
ence on the pH level and has no smell. Furthermore, unlike chlo-
rine, bromine does not separate into "combined" and "free" forms.
Water disinfection using active oxygen makes the water pure,
clear and pleasant when in contact with the skin and hair. Ac-
tive oxygen is a delicate alternative to chlorine and may substi-
tute it as a disinfectant. It is also effective in preventing the for-
mation of algae.
Jacuzzi ® offers a kit for water treatment based on active oxygen,
which along with the aforementioned benefits, offers another
which should not be underrated: when the spa is emptied, the
water can be drained into the sewers without the need for cost-
ly purifying and it can even be used to water the garden.
Active oxygen is especially indicated if the spa is not used in-
tensively. At any rate, after a long period during which the spa
is not used, it is advisable to carry out a super-chlorination treat-
ment, also known as a chlorine based shock treatment. The use
of active oxygen does not compromise this operation, thus mak-
ing use of chlorine necessary only in this case.
A shock treatment can be carried out using active oxygen,
even if this is not as effective as chlorine. In this case, the sug-
gested amount is about three times more than that used for
normal maintenance treatment.
The water treatment kit offered by Jacuzzi
oxygen-based tablets and an activation liquid, which increases
the effectiveness of the treatment and ensures action against
algae. These products are to be placed directly into the water
of the spa, even if it is preferable to place the tablets in a float-
ing dispenser (available from authorized Jacuzzi
