WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
Before jumping into the Spa Water Maintenance, here are some terms to help you.
8.
Sanitizers:
This is what kills the germs and bacteria that enter the water from the environment and
the human body.
A. Chlorine
1. Only one type is good for spa use: Sodium dichlor which is a granule, fast dissolving,
and pH neutral
2. Chlorine is an immediate sanitizer.
B. Bromine (Note: Bromine use is not recommended with Eco Pur filters.)
1. Two types of tablets.
a. Hydrotech
b. Lonza
2. Bromine is a slow dissolve chemical and may take a few days to develop a reserve
or reading in the water.
9.
Total dissolved solids (TDS):
Materials that have been dissolved by the water. i.e. Like what happens
when you put sugar in coffee or tea.
10. Useful life of water (in days):
Water should be drained at least once every 180 days. Useful life may
vary by usage and bather load.
11. Defoamer:
Foaming may be caused by body oils, cosmetics, lotions, surface cleaners, high pH or
algeacides as well as other organic materials. Low levels of calcium or sanitizer can also cause
foaming. Also, double rinse your bathing suits as they will hold residual soap after being washed.
12. Calcium hardness:
Water that is too hard (over 250 ppm) can promote scale formation in
components and on spa surface. Water that is too low (below 180 ppm) may also shorten
the life of metal components on the spa.
NOTE:
Always leave spa cover open for 15 minutes after adding chemicals to prevent the off gas
from damaging your spa cover, spa pillows and other critical parts.
