range before using the spa.

in order to properly prime the jet pumps.
FOLLOWING THE SPA FROG SANITIZER ROUTINE
During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual daily in order to establish the correct setting on cartridges for User Load and
Usage Time versus Sanitizer Needed.
• The User Load of the spa is the number of times anyone enters the spa.
• The Usage Time is simply the amount of time a user spends in the spa.
• Sanitizer Needed is the amount needed to accomodate the number of users and their combined usage time.
For example, two spa users who regularly use the spa once an evening for twenty minutes create a specific and somewhat consistent demand on
the sanitizer. During the first month of ownership, these two users can determine exactly how much sanitizer to use in order to maintain the proper
residual. If, at any time the user load and/or usage pattern changes dramatically (i.e. invited guests), the frequency of sanitizer required increases
dramatically. The greater the usage time, or the bather load, the faster the residual value is diminished.
