Product Information

Clearwater pH Plus , also known as ‘pH increaser’ is the best way to increase pH levels that have dropped below the recommended level. To avoid skin discomforts and enable the chlorine in your spa to work effectively, it’s vital that acidity is monitored and controlled. The recommended pH balance of spa water is between 7.2 and 7.6. Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay-Z-Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds. Chlorine levels of a hot tub should be 3‑5 ppm (Parts Per Million), pH levels should be 7.2 ‑ 7.6 and Total Alkalinity levels should measure 80 ‑ 120 ppm (Parts Per Million). When you’re ready to begin mixing your chemicals, you should handle them with chemical resistant gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. It is also advised to wear tightly sealed goggles and appropriate protective clothing such as long sleeves, trousers, and closed-toed shoes that fully protect your feet from spills. You should also wash your hands after handling chemicals. 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.

In the event of spillage, clean up using clean receptacles and dispose of carefully. Do not add water to spilled materials. Do not use floor sweeping compounds to clean up spills. Sweep and scoop spilled material into clean, dedicated equipment.If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip. Having the correct pH levels will ensure your eyes and skin aren’t irritated by your pool water. Most people think it’s the chlorine that causes your eyes to turn red after swimming, but it’s actually the pH level. The ideal levels are between 7.2 and 7.6. Rainwater can significantly affect your pH level, so test your water if you’ve experienced heavy storms. If you need to raise or lower the level, choose the appropriate chemical to add to the water. Calcium Hardness You should expect to test your pool water at least once a week. If you experience heavy rainfall or the pool is getting used by a lot of people, you’ll want to test the water more often. At least you won’t have to test the water as much as public swimming pools – most are required to do it every hour! Fresh Strips Dip a ClearWater® Test Strip in the centre of your Lay‑Z‑Spa, remove and hold it still for 15 seconds.

Chlorine levels are fluctuating, the pool has been left and gone stagnant or other chemical levels are not correct. For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million).
