Chemicals USAGE & Spills

Please remember that water and electricity are a deadly combination and do not mix. Use any of the information contained herein AT YOUR OWN RISK.

We will not be held liable for any injuries that may result from the troubleshooting advice or installation of any electrical components in your hot tub spa unit.

 

Balancing the CHEMICALS in your spa properly?

Removing HOT TUB FOAM?

Testing Hot Tub Water Accurately?

The relationship between pH and chlorine?

Why do I need to shock my swimming pool?

Remember this is only a guide (and the video) but gives you a good overview...
Shocking the pool rids it of unwanted organics called Combined Chlorine or Chloramines.
 
They are the overpopulation of dust, pollen, urine, sweat, hair, insects, leaves and a dozen other types of organic matter that is always found in your pool. When you have this high concentration of organics you will usually experience a strong chlorine like odour at the pool. 
 
This is not chlorine you are smelling, it is ammonia and nitrogen resulting from the partial decomposition of this matter.
 
The problem is that there is just not enough chlorine available at normal levels to oxidise this matter so we are going to add some. This is called shocking or super chlorination.

 

Dealing with a chemical spillage!

Do not clean if the chemicals has mixed with other chemicals (such as Anti Foam spilling onto chlorine, etc) or if the material is reacting (hissing, bubbling, smoking, gassing, burning) or if the containers are bulging. In this case, evacuate the area and report to the supervisor immediately.

  • Wear protective gloves and goggles supplied in the spillage kit
  • If necessary, ventilate the area if indoors.
  • Carefully place the spilt material in a clean, dry plastic bag (supplied in the Spillage Kit). Place this filled plastic bag inside another bag when finished.
  • Keep an eye on the material once it has been picked up. A reaction may be delayed.
  • Dispose of the material or store it well away from combustible materials - seek advice from a supervisor.
  • DO NOT
  • Do not place spilt material back in the original container.
  • Do not generate dust when cleaning up a powder or solid. The dust may react with the moisture on your skin and cause injury.
  • If using a container to hold the spill, do not seal it.
