Ba l a n c i n g t h e Ph A. The ideal pH level for your spa water is 7.4-7.6. B. ThepHlevelisthemeasureofacidityandalkalinity.Valuesabove7arealkaline;thosebelow7areacidic.Maintainingtheproper
pH level is extremely important for:
•Optimizingtheeffectivenessofthesanitizer. •Maintainingwaterthatiscomfortablefortheuser. •Preventingequipmentdeterioration.
C. If the spa water’s pH level is too low, the following may result:
•Thesanitizerwilldissipaterapidly. •Thewatermaybecomeirritatingtospausers. •Thespa’sequipmentmaycorrode.
If the pH is too low, it can be increased by adding pH/Alkalinity Up or sodium hydrogen carbonate to the spa water. D. If the pH level is too high, the following may result:
•Thesanitizerislesseffective. •Scalewillformonthespashellsurfaceandtheequipment. •Thewatermaybecomecloudy. •Thefiltercartridgeporesmaybecomeobstructed.
If the pH is too high, it can be decreased by adding pH/Alkalinity Down or sodium bisulfate to the spa water. NOTE: After adding sodium carbonate or sodium bisulfate, wait two hours before testing the water for pH. Measurements taken too
soon may not be accurate.
E. It is important to check the pH on a regular (weekly) basis. The pH will be affected by the bather load, the addition of new water,
the addition of various chemicals, and the type of sanitizer used.
F. When the pH is within the recommended range, proceed to the final step.
