Ph Levels Advice

To maintain a consistent pH level is very important in hot tub water chemistry & to keep the hot tub in perfect condition. The lower a pH reading, the more acidic & oxygen starved the water is. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline & oxygen rich it is. pH is measured on a scale of 0-14: anything below 7 is acidic, anything over 7 is alkaline. The best pH reading is between 7.2 to 7.6

The Danger of Low pH

Acidic water is corrosive. Can cause skin irritation. Has negative effect on the work of the sanitisers. It will corrode metal equipment & parts of the hot tub. Will cause etching on the hot tub surface & blistering. Strips the body of its natural oils causing dry, cracked, or flaky skin.

The Danger of High pH

Will cause scale build up on the hot tub surface. Will cause scaling on plumbing equipment. Can cause cloudy water. Has negative effect on the work of the sanitisers.

How to Maintain pH levels

Test water balance before using the hot tub to monitor pH levels If pH is low, then add the product pH Plus If pH is high, then add the product pH Minus
