Chemical Safety Tips
All Chemicals can constitute a health hazard if handled, stored or used incorrectly or imprudently. Customers should therefore acquaint him/herself with the appropriate health and safety information and take all necessary precautions to ensure that proper standards are maintained.
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
Ensure when adding chemicals ALWAYS add chemicals to the water NEVER add water to the chemicals
Make sure each chemical container is sealed tightly after use and stored correctly
If any chemicals come into contact with eyes, nose or mouth wash off with clean water & seek immediate medical attention
Caution should be taken NEVER to mix chemicals with any other substance
Always read and follow all label directions carefully
Labels are printed on each container. Ensure you understand what the chemical is, how it is to be used and what it will do before using
