Water Balancing & Scale

Water balancing (adjusting the Total Alkalinity and pH of the water) is very important when using traditional hot tub sanitiser which only work properly over a small pH range. If the pH is not correct before adding chlorine or bromine to the water then bacteria may not be fully eradicated and the hot tub will be unsafe to use.

Badly unbalanced hot tub water can also be responsible for foaming, scum, discolouration and even permanent damage to your hot tub equipment.

The first step in balancing hot tub water is to adjust the Total Alkalinity, followed by the pH and then the Hardness, if necessary.

If you are finding constant water balancing too much bother then we have a completely new product, eco3spa, that relies on Active Oxygen as the sanitiser. Active Oxygen works well over a much wider pH range that Chlorine or Bromine so constant water balancing isn't necessary.
