Water Chemistry Safety Factors
RECOMMENDED CHEMISTRY WATER STANDARDS
Chlorine………………: 1.0 – 3.0 ppm in pools, 1.5 – 3.0 ppm in spas
Bromine………………: 2.0 – 4.0 ppm in pools, 3.0 – 5.0 ppm in spas
PH…………………….: 7.4 – 7.6 in pools, 7.2 – 7.8 in spas
Total Alkalinity………: 80 – 140 ppm in pools, 80 – 120 ppm in spas
Calcium Hardness……: 200 – 400 ppm in pools and spas
Total Dissolved Solids..: 1,000 – 2,000 ppm in pools,
1,500 ppm above your start-up TDS in spas
WARNING !
Failure to heed the following may result in
permanent injury or death.
Improper water chemistry can present a serious health hazard. To avoid
possible hazards, maintain Pool-Spa water per standards below.
CAUTION !
Failure to heed the following can result in
damage to equipment.
While your heat pump’s titanium-based heat exchanger provides nearly
impervious protection against poor water chemistry, improper water chemistry
may cause expensive damage to pumps, filters, pool shell, etc. To avoid
equipment damage, maintain Pool-Spa water per standards below.
Prolonged immersion in water warmer than normal body temperature may
cause a condition known as HYPERTHERMIA. The symptoms of
hyperthermia include: unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive
heat, failure to recognize the need to exit spa, and unconsciousness. The use of
alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia. In addition, persons having an adverse medical history, or
pregnant women, should consult a physician before using a hot tub or spa.
Children and the extreme elderly should be supervised by a responsible adult.
WARNING ! Failure to heed the following may result in
permanent injury or death.
