Clearwater CH0005 PH Plus Increaser for Swimming Pool and Spa Treatment

Product Information

It can damage your equipment. Low pH water will continue on from damaging your tub to damaging the equipment that runs your tub. As the water is constantly circulated, it will enter pipes, the pump, and the filter, causing destruction along the way. Repairing these can be costly and most of the time they have to be fully replaced.

Testing your swimming pool/hot tub water pH should be done immediately before the use of any pH increaser and redone six hours afterwards. Accurate dosage levels for our pH increaser vary between different areas of the UK due to the pH levels of local water supplies. Thus, we can only offer general dosage recommendations, with a view to the correct level required for your pool becoming apparent after a few doses. Bestway ClearWater 1kg pH Plus is the best way (boom, boom) to avoid itchy eyes and skin because swimming pool pH levels have dropped below the recommended level. To avoid a dreaded dose of red eye it's vital that acidity is controlled and pH Plus is a simple and highly effective way to achieve this. Where TA is concerned, you need to keep it between 80 and 120 ppm. Its role is that of a buffer, protecting the pH from fluctuating all over the place. Without the proper TA level, the pH can erratically drop or peak, testing acidic one minute and alkaline the next. Soda ash is the preferred method to raise the pH of your tub. This is because soda ash, with it’s own 11.4 pH level, has the most drastic effect on raising pH.Turn off the tub jets and test the water using test strips, a liquid test kit, or a digital tester. Take note of the pH and TA levels. For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million). Low pH (more acidic) levels in water can lead to damage to the pool or hot tub – notably the grouting or plaster as well as any metal objects.

It’s a popular method because it doesn’t raise the TA as much as soda ash will. However, the downside is that it’s not as effective at raising the pH.Chlorine is a sanitiser that controls and prevents bacteria growth and is essential for the hot tub water to be clean and safe to use. The recommended Free Chlorine* level in a hot tub is 3-5ppm (parts per million). Baking soda can cause issues if you add too much of it to the water, causing the pH level to spike.

For high chlorine levels above 5ppm, we would suggest you drain the Lay-Z-Spa to the minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to the maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chemical. Or, remove the cover from the hot tub to allow evaporation of the chemical (keep the spa filter running constantly).If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip. Use a pH meter to accurately measure your aquarium’s pH levels. Dip the end of your pH meter into your aquarium. Keep the meter submerged until the numbers on the screen stabilize. Once you remove the meter from your aquarium, rinse the end of the meter with distilled water to clean it.

In this scenario, you can add all the chlorine you want and your pH levels will render it useless.
