| Note: Chemicals can be added to either cold or hot water. If the water temperature is cold, the addition of BaquaSpa Waterline Control may cause a temporary cloudy condition. Once the temperature reaches normal spa levels (98-104 degrees F), the cloudiness will disappear. BaquaSpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale Control will react with some impurities in the water to form insoluble particles. Within the small environment of a spa, these insolubles may be deposited on the spa shell, especially at initial start-up. This "bathtub ring" will vary depending on the quality of the fill water, and usually appears as yellow/brown, sticky deposits. Wipe affected areas clean with BaquaSpa Surface Cleaner. When used properly, BaquaSpa Waterline Control will eliminate deposits from forming on the spa shell. |
Note: The measuring cup should be thoroughly rinsed after each use. The outside of the BaquaSpa Shock bottle should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth after use to remove any liquid that may have dripped into it.
