HAS YOUR SPA BEEN INVADED BY ALGAE GROWTH?

You may not see algea but you will for know for sure if your sanItiser use goes up dramatically.

Take note of these early warning signs of algae growth:

Water not crystal clear

Uses excessive amounts of Spa Poppit bactericide/sanitiser
Incidence of cough when close to the spa due to airborne algae & carried in with the spa users
Should this occur we would recommend the following:

1. Following the dosing instruction on the back of the package (and below here) and claculate the amount required for your size of spa (dosing instructions are for larger pools). This package is designed for pools and will provide a large numb erof uses for typical spas. Premix the correct amount of each colour sachet in a bucket of water. When dissolved, pour into the spa. Recommended pH at 6.8 – 7 for Algicide to be more effective.
