Free chlorine: 

is the chlorine residual present in the spa water.

Result if too low – Inadequate level of disinfection.
Result if too high – cause odor problem, skin & eye irritation, corroded metals and other materials.

pH:

 a value that indicates how acidic or basic the spa water is.

Result if too low – Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation, and destruction of total alkalinity.
Result if too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter 

fi

 lter/heater runs, eye & skin irritation, poor chlorine 

ef

fi

 ciency.

Total Alkalinity (TA):

 indicates the degree of the water’s resistance to pH change. It determines the speed 

and ease of pH change, so always adjust total alkalinity before adjusting the pH level.
Result if too low – Corroded metals, eye & skin irritation. Low alkalinity will cause the pH to be unstable.
Result if too high – Scale formation, cloudy water, shorter 

fi

 lter/heater runs, eye & skin irritation, high chlorine 

demand.

Calcium Hardness (CaCO

3

):

 refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in the water.

Result if too low – Dif

fi

 culty balancing water, corrosion of metal components, eye & skin irritation and water 

foaming.

Saturation Index (SI):

 temperature, calcium hardness concentration, total alkalinity and pH represent the 

main factors in

fl

 uencing scale formation. The tendency of water to either form scale or corrode is indicated by 

the Saturation Index (SI):

SI = pH+TF+CF+AF-12.1

*Where: TF = Temperature Factor; CF = Calcium Hardness Factor; AF = Total Alkalinity Factor

Test the water pH, Temperature, Calcium Hardness and Total Alkalinity levels. Use the equivalent Factors in 
the SI equation.
SI = 0, Balance
If SI > 0, Scaling or cloudy water condition.
If SI < 0, Corrosive to metals or eye & skin irritating condition.
The SI is considered satisfactory if the value is within -0.3 to +0.3 range. Zero being perfect.
