  • Page 34: Water Chemistry

    Obtain a water quality test kit, designed especially for hot tubs, from your Jacuzzi Premium Spas dealer. The test kit must be of the type which allows you to test for the disinfectant (chlorine) level, pH, and total alkalinity. Ensure that the chemicals used in your hot tub are especially for hot tub use, and not for swimming pools, as water quality maintenance of hot tubs and of swimming pools is very different.

  • Page 35: Balancing Ph

    Maintenance Balancing pH For good hygiene and equipment longevity, maintain the pH of your hot tub water according to the instructions provided. pH is the measure to determine if the hot tub water is too acidic (low pH) or too alkaline (high pH). The ideal range for hot tub water is 7.4 to 7.6 pH. For excessive acidity (below 7.2 pH) add soda ash or sodium bicarbonate to the hot tub water.

  • Page 36: Water Quality Definitions

    Maintenance Water Quality Definitions pH: A chemical term used in expressing relative acidity or alkalinity in numerical values with 7.0 usually regarded as neutral, and for purposes of this manual, indicating pure water.

  • Page 37: Water Level/Drain

    Maintenance Water Level/Drain The water level in the hot tub must be maintained at the normal level. Evaporation and splashing will cause the water level to drop.
