Specialty chemicals address occasional water problems and help to maintain clean, clear water when a spa is heavily used. Whether
you will or should use these chemicals will be based on the quality of your source water and how frequently your spa is used. Following
is a summary of the most common specialty chemicals and when they should be used.
1. Metal removers and stain preventers – Many people have a well as their source water and quite often, this water contains dissolved
metals such as iron and/or copper. If your water is in this category, you should use metal-treatment and stain-prevention chemicals
in your spa. These chemicals will bind with the metals in your water, preventing them from precipitating from the water and causing
stains.

non-chlorine oxidizer. If you experience visible oil and grease conditions on the water's surface and/or a continuous scum line, it is
recommended to add enzymes on a regular basis.
