How To Use Your Chemical Kit This is a simple step by step directions for the use of your Leisure Time Chemicals. The first step starts with fresh water. Please read the entire bottle before use of any spa chemicals. This is just an outline to go by. Step 1: Test Strips - test for Bromine, Chlorine, Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness, and pH levels in your spa water. The color levels should register in the ideal range that is indicated for each. To use dip test strip in water make two circles and remove (DO NOT SHAKE EXCESS WATER OFF). Match colors with the appropriate chart on the back of the bottle. Adjust the levels accordingly. Adjust the Alkalinity first then adjust the pH by using Spa Up or Spa Down. Then adjust the Calcium level. To maintain spa chemistry test the water at least once (1) a week and adjust chemicals as needed. Step 2: Metal Gon – is a unique formulation of chelating or binding agents that will react with any metal contaminants. Pour entire bottle around the perimeter of the spa. Turn tub on in filter mode. Let the water circulate for 30 minutes. Step 3: pH Balance – is a liquid formulation of buffers that eliminates the need to adjust the calcium levels in addition to the pH. Pour entire bottle of pH Balance per 500 gallons of water. Let water circulate for 5 minutes. More on "How to use Your Chemical Kit"
