    FILTRATION :

    Filtration is managed by your control system and once set will give you the required filtration needed to keep your spa at the optimum cleanliness levels. It is essential that filter cartridges are cleaned at regular intervals. ( See filter maintenance section. )

    SANITIZATION:

    Sanitization is essential in health and well being of all bathers in your spa. It is your responsibility to regularly monitor and maintain satisfactory levels. The sanitizer will chemically control bacteria and viruses present in the water, or introduced during use of your spa. Several sanitation methods are available. Upon ordering your spa you will have already a sanitization method for your spa, whether it be ozone, nature 2 or conventional sanitization chemicals. Your authorized Sapphire Spa Dealer will have advised you of the right sanitization method that best suits you and your conditions.

    CHEMICAL BALANCE:

    Chemical balance and ph control is essential for the overall balance of your water. Proper balance determines the effectiveness of your sanitizer to work at its maximum efficiency, minimizes scale build up and corrosion of metals, and extends the general life of your spa. Regular testing and dosing is essential and it is advisable to get your water analyzed through your authorized Sapphire Spa Dealer.

    BASIC CHEMICAL SAFETY:

    Basic safety when using chemicals is essential so please read the labels carefully and follow the directions provided precisely. Although chemicals protect you and your spa when used correctly, they can be extremely hazardous when handled in a concentrated form. The following information are guidelines to help make your spa experience a pleasant and trouble free one.
