Clearwater CH0008 PH Minus Decreaser for Swimming Pool and Spa Treatment

Product Information

Because pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is, it is important to make sure your hot tub ph Levels are always balanced between 7.2 and 7.6 to avoid impacting your Lay-Z-Spa and your spa experience.

Bromine sanitizer: As I mentioned, using bromine sanitizer can cause the TA level to drop because bromine is an acidic chemical and therefore can lower the alkalinity level. Remove cover from pool to allow evaporation of the chemical (keep the pool filter running constantly). The amount of pH increaser or decreaser you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. Refer to the dosage information will be printed on the individual chemical bottles. Make sure that any outdoor storage of chemicals is as far away from your hot tub as possible and in a dry, covered area. Humidity or even small amounts of water can cause chemical reactions that could lead to dangerous fumes.

Although a small pH increase will usually still occur, it should be minimal compared to the TA increase you will gain. Final thoughts pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation. The ideal pH range for spas is 7.2 to 7.6. To achieve these readings, you will need to use the test strips to test and adjust the pH using the products and dosages below. High pH Readings (Above 7.6) High levels of calcium or magnesium: These minerals can naturally occur in the water supply or be added after, and can contribute to high pH levels.

Never mix different chemicals in concentrated forms. This includes the kit products but also with other products like bleach or weedkillers – a dangerous reaction may occur.One level teaspoon holds approx. 5g of dry product. After treating your Lay-Z-Spa water for pH levels, bathing can start when pH level is 7.2 - 7.6. Dissolve the quantity of Chlorine Granules in a jug of warm water and pour into your hot tub. Activate the AirJets for a few minutes to circulate the chemicals evenly throughout the water. Never use unlabelled chemicals and please read the instructions before use. Avoid getting chemicals in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapours when opening a container. Avoid creation of dust. Never add water to the product. Always add product to large quantities of water. Use separate clean dry utensils for each chemical and clean after use. Do not add the product to any dispensing device containing residuals of other products. Drain pool to minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chemical. Around 60% of UK households are in hard or very hard water areas. To avoid scale build-up (which can impact water quality and pump components) use a weekly dose of ClearWater Scale & Stain Controller.
