Tip 2: Test the quality of the spa waters with hot tub tester strips. The color patches that
appear after dipping in the spa will tell you if you need to add or countermand any of the
hot tub chemicals you used.
Bi-Weekly or Tri-Weekly Hot Tub Maintenance
Every two or three days, it is recommended to test the water in your hot tub. Use hot tub
strips, the kind you dip in the water. The color patches will show you exactly water hot
tub chemicals should be included in your routine spa maintenance. Based on the results
add:
1. Bromine/Chlorine: Add bromine/Chlorine* tablets to your bromine floater. If the
bromine level is too high, reduce the size of the aperture on the floater. If they are too
low, increase the size.
2. PH up. Depending on the strip test, add 1 or 2 oz (tablespoons) of Alkalinity
Increaser to raise the PH level in the spa water. This will protect your hot tub pump and
equipment from corrosion.
3. PH down. Depending on the strip test, add 1 or 2 oz (tablespoons) of PH Decreaser
to return the water alkalinity to where it should be.
*NEVER MIX CHLORINE AND BROMINE IN SAME BODY OF WATER OR CHEMICAL
FEEDER!
