pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation. This TA Increaser helps raise Total Alkalinity levels, which in turn will help control pH levels and chlorine. In the event of spillage, clean up using clean receptacles and dispose of carefully. Do not add water to spilled materials. Do not use floor sweeping compounds to clean up spills. Sweep and scoop spilled material into clean, dedicated equipment. Chlorine levels are fluctuating, the pool has been left and gone stagnant or other chemical levels are not correct.
