ness. Such water can prove to be corrosive to masonry surfaces and

underwater metal parts. The calcium hardness level can be raised,

to the optimum range of 150-200 PPM, by the addition of appropriate

amounts of a calcium hardness increaser (calcium chloride).

SPA CHEMICALS GLOSSARY

1 - Alkalinity Up: The total alkalinity of your spa water should be

between 80-140 PPM. A proper alkalinity will help buffer your spa

water against sudden changes in pH. Every 2.5 tablespoons of

Alkalinity Up will raise your alkalinity by 10 PPM in a spa holding 500

gallons of water.

2 - Bromine Tablets: These slow-dissolving tablets work

especially well in the hot water of your spa. Keep a base of tablets

inside of an in-spa ﬂoater/feeder in order to maintain between 2 and 5

PPM. Add 2 tablets per 100 gallons of water and adjust the ﬂoater’s

opening to regulate the PPM level.

3 - Foam Gone: Foam in spas is typically caused by residue from

soap, shampoo, and cleansers. A small amount of Foam Gone will

dissipate the foam and will not affect the water balance. Most foam

removers are compatible with all sanitation programs.

4 - Liquid Filter Cleaner: Regular use of Filter Cleaner will greatly

increase the life and performance of your ﬁlters by cutting away

grease, body oils, scale, and lotions. Clean ﬁlters also contribute to

better water circulation and superior spa performance, because dirty

ﬁlters can substantially impede water ﬂow. Keeping your ﬁlters clean

with ﬁlter cleaner will also help keep your water ﬁltered and clear. This

is accomplished by mixing one pint of ﬁlter cleaner with 2.5 gallons of

water and submerging the ﬁlters in the mixture for at least 12 hours.

5 - Dichlor Grandular: This concentrated, stabilized, and quick-

dissolving chlorine granular is simple to use in your spa as a sanitizing

shock treatment. The downside to Dichlor is that it will not sustain a

PPM base for long in hot water. However, as a rule of thumb, if you

treat your water after bathing with half a capful of Dichlor, you will

maintain clear and comfortable water, providing your pH is controlled

and your ﬁlters cleaned. Dichlor dissolves quickly and leaves no

residue.

6 - pH Down: If your pH level remains high, you can struggle with

scaling, cloudy water, rapid sanitizer loss, and possible skin and eye

irritation. pH Down can be purchased from your dealer in either liquid

or solid granular form. Please see your dealer for recommended

dosage.

7 - pH Up: The effects of low pH can be rapid sanitizer loss, eye

and skin irritation, expedited corrosion of metals, as well as staining

throughout the spa. pH up can be purchased from your dealer

in either liquid or solid granular form. Please see your dealer for

recommended dosage.

8 - Metal Protect or Remover: Also called stain and scale defense,

metal protect inhibits staining and scaling in your spa. It will also

prevent calcium build-up on the surfaces of your spa. Regular use will

help protect your spa surface as well as your plumbing, your pumps,

and even your heater.

9 - Spa Shock: Non-chlorine spa shock contains Potassium

Monopersulfate and is an oxidizer that works well with mineral,

chlorine and bromine systems. Regular use of spa shock can

substantially reduce the need for sanitizing by up to 50% and will

continually remove inorganics from the water. Best of all, you can

bath in only 15 minutes after application.

10 - Ascorbic Acid: This is vitamin C and can be used as an acidic-

reducing agent in the removal of difﬁcult metallic stains from

underwater surfaces. Oxalic acid can be used in a similar manner.
