BaquaSpa Water Balancing
Overview:
Test your spa pH weekly. It is simple to adjust. When the pH falls
below 7.2 add BaquaSpa pH Decreaser. Please refer to the following tables.
| To Raise pH from: |
Spa Volume (gallons) |
|||
| 100 | 200 | 400 | 1000 | |
| below 6.8 | 1/4 oz. | 1/2 oz. | 3/4 oz. | 1 1/2 oz. |
| 6.8 - 7.0 | 1/8 oz. | 1/4 oz. | 1/2 oz. | 1 1/4 oz. |
| To Lower pH from: |
Spa Volume (gallons) |
|||
| 100 | 200 | 400 | 1000 | |
| 8.2 + | 3/4 oz. | 1 oz. | 1 3/4 oz. | 4 1/4 oz. |
| 8.2 | 1/2 oz. | 3/4 oz. | 1 1/2 oz. | 3 3/2 oz. |
| 8.0 | 1/4 oz. | 1/2 oz. | 1 oz. | 2 oz. |
| 7.8 | 1/8 oz. | 1/4 oz. | 1/2 oz. | 1 oz. |
Calcium Hardness: All water contains some natural hardness, which may vary by geographical region. Calcium Hardness is the amount of dissolved calcium that ends up in the spa water.
Metals: Metals can enter the water through corrosion of surfaces caused by low mineral content, or in fill water. It is important that no metals be present in your spa water at any time. A regular dose of BaquaSpa Stain and Scale Control will help keep metals from becoming a problem.
Total Dissolved Solids: Total Dissolved Solids, or TDS, is the total amount of material dissolved in your spa water. Although TDS concentration has little effect on water balance, a level above 1000 ppm may cause problems with water clarity, sanitizer efficiency, eye irritation, and water taste.
| pH | 7.2 - 7.8 |
| Total Alkalinity | 80 - 120 ppm |
| Calcium Hardness | 200 - 400 ppm |
| Metals | None |
| Total Dissolves Solids | Not to exceed 2000 ppm |
| Water Temperature | Not to exceed 104 degrees |
| Baqua Spa Sanitizer | 30 - 50 ppm |
