[fisrt timer]

Well, my new tub showed up today (LA HEET) and my electrician is on his way over to do the final hook up. I got some chemicals to put in but I dont know how much of what and where. I recieved a NATURE 2 stick thingy that goes in the filter. That part I fugured out but where can I put it? MY filters are the bags that you undo a big rubber band and pull out. Its not like a normal pool filter. Also, I recieved some LEISURE TIME RENEW. It says it shock treats without chlorine. There are bunch of small pouches of it (2oz). Do I add one? 2? It is like 400 gallons or so of water in the tub. I also recieved a big tub of LEISURE TIME SPA 56 chlorinating granules (2lbs). Do I add some of that as well? How much? I also recieved a pack of 50 NATURE 2 spa test strips that test MPS,Alkalinity and pH. Any help? I need some ASAP as I plan on using the tub tommorow night (approx 24 hours). I was going to go over and get some help from the salesman last weekend but he was doing a spa show. I never made it over there before to go over all the chemicals. I have just been so excited I havent been thinking about chemicals that much. Between finding an electrician, making time for deliver and the coordination, the chemicals just slipped right past me. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adjust your pH and Alk first. If you have well water, don't be shy with the pH minus. Also, start out by sanitizing the spa with chlorine. Usually, 1 teaspoon treats 250 gallons, so I would add 2 teaspoons. At that point, you have to figure out how the N2 stick will fit into the filter. I am not familiar with the filter you speak of, but the stick goes in the middle of the filter, and use the extension sticks so it is approximately half way up the filter. Maybe the bag you speak of is just some sort of prefilter that can be removed. If you can't figure it out, your spa should still be safe to use with the chlorine in there, at least until you can speak with your dealer. Also, add a half of the pack of Renew just before you get in the spa. Hope this helps.

Put the nature 2 in the bag if that is your skimmer basket even if there is a bag on it.
