PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
Cloudy Water
Microscopic par cles too small to filter out.
Test and adjust all water balance elements and
add flocculent* to cause the par cles to
combine together so they can be filtered out.
Increase filter cycle me.
High Total Alkalinity
High pH levels
High Calcium Hardness
Test these water balance elements and adjust
to recommended parameters.
Scale
(White/Grayish Deposit)
High Calcium Hardness
Test calcium hardness level and treat with
seques ng agent* or perform par al drain/
refill.
Skin Eye Irrita on
Improper pH and/or Total Alkalinity levels
Test water balance and make the appropriate
changes.
Excessive Foam
Buildup of body oils or cosme cs
If no water line is present you can try using
defoamer* to break up the contaminants and
then a clarifier* to help filter them away. If a
water line is present the spa may need to be
drained and cleaned. Either way, the filter
should be thoroughly cleaned by soaking over
night in bleach. An oil absorbing sponge can
help in preven ng this in the future. Increase
filter cycle me.
Laundry detergent residual in swimwear
Prevent by running an extra rinse cycle on
washing machine or re
-
rinse well by hand
Excess organic contaminants
Some organic ma er is prone to causing foamy
water as it breaks down in the filter (maple
leaves especially). Generally using defoamer*
to break up the contaminants, then a clarifier*
To help filter them away followed by
thoroughly cleaning your filter will clear up the
problem. It may however be necessary to drain
and refill your spa if the foaming is quite
excessive.
Low Calcium Hardness
Test calcium hardness and if necessary increase
with calciumchloride*
Corrosion/Etching
Presence of metals in water (iron, copper, etc)
Test total alkalinity levels and if necessary
increase with sodium bicarbonate*
Discoloured Water
(Clear v. turbid water)
Presence of metals in water (iron, copper, etc)
Treat with chela ng* or sequestering agent*
Unstable pH
Low Total Alkalinity levels
Test total alkalinity levels and if necessary
increase with sodium bicarbonate*
pH resistant to changing
High Total Alkalinity levels
Test total alkalinity levels and if necessary de-
crease with sodium bisulfate* or muria c acid*
