WATER CHEMISTRY cont...

SPA CHEMICALS GLOSSARY

1 - Alkalinity Up: The total alkalinity of your spa water should be

between 80-140 PPM. A proper alkalinity will help buffer your spa

water against sudden changes in pH. Every 2.5 tablespoons of

Alkalinity Up will raise your alkalinity by 10 PPM in a spa holding 500

gallons of water.

2 - Bromine Tablets: These slow-dissolving tablets work

especially well in the hot water of your spa. Keep a base of tablets

PPM.Add2tabletsper100gallonsofwaterandadjusttheoater’s

opening to regulate the PPM level.

3 - Foam Gone: Foam in spas is typically caused by residue from

soap, shampoo, and cleansers. A small amount of Foam Gone will

dissipate the foam and will not affect the water balance. Most foam

removers are compatible with all sanitation programs.

4 - Liquid Filter Cleaner: Regular use of Filter Cleaner will greatly

5 - Dichlor Grandular: This concentrated, stabilized, and quick-

dissolving chlorine granular is simple to use in your spa as a sanitizing

shock treatment. The downside to Dichlor is that it will not sustain a

PPM base for long in hot water. However, as a rule of thumb, if you treat

your water after bathing with half a capful of Dichlor, you will maintain clear

andcomfortablewater,providingyourpHiscontrolledandyourlters

cleaned. Dichlor dissolves quickly and leaves no

residue.

6 - pH Down: If your pH level remains high, you can struggle with

scaling, cloudy water, rapid sanitizer loss, and possible skin and eye irrita-

tion. pH Down can be purchased from your dealer in either liquid or solid

granular form. Please see your dealer for recommended dosage.
