Step 2: Water Treatment

The next step is to keep your spa water in great condition – clean, clear and comfortable.
Sanitising
Spa water must be treated with a sanitiser to kill bacteria which could otherwise thrive in the warm moist conditions. Sunspot offers a choice of sanitiser – bromine or chlorine – and your Sunspot supplier can help you decide which one will be best for you. The sanitiser level should be checked regularly using your test kit or test strips.
Bromine
Bromine is an effective hot water sanitiser with little odour and therefore ideally suited for use in spas. Sunspot Spa Bromine comes in tablet form making it easy to apply using a fixed brominator chamber which avoids the need for daily dosing.

Do not place tablets directly into the spa.
The ideal bromine level in a spa is between 3 – 6mg/l.

Chlorine
Sunspot Spa Stabilised Chlorine Granules should be added to the spa on a daily basis as per label directions. These granules have little effect on the pH level and are rapid dissolving, making them easy to apply and a good sanitiser choice.

The ideal chlorine level in a spa is between 3 – 5mg/l.

Oxidising
Weekly oxidisation is essential to remove wastes that are too small for the filter. Sunspot Spa Non Chlorine Shock or Sunspot Spa Granular Shock are the perfect media for oxidising spa water, they will destroy odours and wastes such as perspiration, cosmetics and body oils and restore clarity and sparkle for maximum bather comfort.
