MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER

5.4. DISINFECTION OF THE WATER

Disinfection of the water is of utmost importance in order to destroy algae, bacteria and organisms
that could develop in the water. However, excessive disinfection could cause skin and eye irritation.
BROMIDE TABLETS are a suitable disinfectant for the Spa water. This product is placed in the
pre-filter and gradually dissolves.
Check the residual bromide level daily using the Br analyser set.
The recommended level of residual bromide is between 2.2 and 3.3 ppm.

5.5. USE OF SPECIAL PRODUCTS

Apart from products to maintain the pH and disinfectant level, there are other products formulated
especially for use in Spas that will help you to maintain the water and installation in perfect
condition.
• PA-ANTI-CALCAREOUS: This prevents the precipitation of calcium salts (scale),
particularly in hard water. This product should be added weekly and whenever the water
is renewed.
• SPA-ALGAECIDE: This algaecide prevents algae from growing in the Spa water.
This product is added weekly and whenever the water is renewed.
• SPA-ANTIFOAM: Foam is often formed owing to the agitation of the water and grease
present in the water. Whenever there is a significant amount of foam, remove it with Spa-
Antifoam.
• SPA-DEGREASER: To remove rings of dirt and grease that form on the walls of the Spa.
To use this product, it is recommended to empty the Spa and apply a degreaser with a
sponge on the parts to be cleaned. Rinse immediately with plenty of water.

5.6. Ozone Generator (Only for Spas with this feature)

Ozone, O , is an oxidising chemical component which is very effective in disinfecting water. Its
3
main advantage is that it leaves no chemical residue and is odourless.
Its disinfectant properties are based on its oxidising potential, which leads to the elimination of
any organic matter that there may be in the water.
In order to produce ozone, some Spas have an ozonator which, with electricity, can produce ions
of ozone from atmospheric oxygen. This process occurs automatically, and the product generated
is injected via the filtration return nozzles. Thus, it is not necessary for the user to activate any
mechanism for its generation.
The water is collected by the overflow, the drains or the skimmer, due to the suction of the filter
pump.
Then it passes through the heat exchanger and in its outlet it is injected with ozone. The water is
distributed via the filtration return system.
Ozone treatment does not exclude the use of other chemical products such as Bromine or Chlorine.
The ozone is considered as a complementary process to the ones above, thus reducing the
consumption of Bromine or Chlorine.
