Before adding chemicals to the spa always make sure that bathers are out of the spa and have been warned not to use the spa again until told that they may do so.
When adding chemicals to the spa water ensure that the filtration cycle is working for at least 1 hour and use the air blower for a few minutes (if fitted) to agitate and mix the chemicals.
The following points NEED to be followed to ensure safety in spas:
Chemicals should always be kept in their original containers. DO NOT use contents of unlabelled containers
Handle chemicals with extreme care. Always keep chemicals out of the reach of children & pets
