SILVER ION SANITATION

It is important to follow the recommended application and maintenance programs outlined for each product’s use.

At startup or when refilling a spa, always shock the spa water using chlorine (sodium dichlor) before beginning the silver ion/MPS

regimen. To maintain a properly sanitized spa, an oxidizing agent (MPS) must be added to the spa water 15 minutes prior to each use.

the spa is being used over an extended period of time, such as a whole afternoon or evening, additional oxidizer will be needed. In this case, MPS

should be added to the spa more frequently, at least every hour or more frequently to maintain proper sanitation.

In addition to the normal usage of the oxidizer, a weekly shock treatment is required. The shock treatment destroys any contaminants while

revitalizing the silver ion cartridge, allowing the silver ions to continue to be released into the water. This process should always be performed

when first filling or refilling your spa.

To “shock treat” the spa you may use either MPS or sodium dichlor. It will require much less sodium dichlor to administer the shock treatment

than MPS (1 teaspoon of sodium dichlor has sanitizing capabilities comparable to 2 tablespoons of MPS). Sodium dichlor may be a more

appropriate weekly shock for those users that experience heavy bather load conditions, or when a usual dose of MPS has been

underadministered or missed entirely.
