Water treatment is an important factor in
the enjoyment of your Vita Spa. Proper
water sanitation is essential to your
health as well as permitting years of
trouble-free use of your spa. The most
common water chemistry problems that
can damage your spa are:
1. Improper pH maintenance. pH
balance is critical to proper water
maintenance. Too low of a pH level
will result in corrosion of the spa’s
components.
2. Not pre-dissolving chemicals before
adding to the water.
3. Use of improper chemicals.
4. Over chlorinization. Sodium dichlor is
the recommended type of sanitizer.
Sodium dichlor dissolves easily and
has a neutral pH, which m i n i m i z e s
the effect that the addition of a
sanitizer has on a pH balance. Trichlor
compounds are not recommended
because they have a very low pH,
and are very potent and difficult to
dissolve.
