PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH
IMPROPER WATER BALANCE
Low pH:
Low pH:
• causes rapid sanitizer loss.
• causes eye irritation and itchy skin.
• corrodes equipment
Solution: add pH increaser (pH up) to raise the pH levels.
High pH:
High pH:
• forms scale.
• causes short filter runs.
• clouds water.
• reduces sanitizer efficiency.
Solution: add pH decreaser (pH down) to lower the pH
levels.
Low Sanitizer Levels:
Low Sanitizer Levels:
• allows growth of bacteria and viruses in spa water.
Solution: refer to Chemical Maintenance, Initial Start Up
Procedures, page 19.
