 Balance the Water

To find out if your spa water is balanced:
•  take a water sample to your dealer to be tested regularly, 

or 

•  ask your dealer to recommend a spa test kit for 

water balance.

Element: pH 

 

Range: 7.2-7.6

If too low:   The surface of your spa can become etched.  

Metal parts in the pump and plumbing will corrode.

How to fix:    Add pH increaser.
If too high:   “Scale” forms on the surface of your spa. The water 

can become cloudy. Equipment can be damaged.

How to fix:    Add pH decreaser.

Element: Calcium Hardness 

Range: 200-400 ppm

If too high:   Rough, discolored deposits (“scale”) will form on the 

spa surface and inside spa equipment.

How to fix:    Drain or dilute the spa water. Consult your dealer. 

Element: Total Alkalinity 

Range: 80-120 ppm

If too low:   It provides no buffer so that you constantly get 

fluctuating pH readings, which can damage 
equipment and spa surfaces.

How to fix:    Use an alkalinity increaser.
If too high:   The water becomes cloudy or milky white.
How to fix:   Add acid to bring alkalinity down.
