Fill hot tub with fresh water. If using source water that is high

you must drain and refill your hot tub before using this product.

Look at the Total Alkalinity reading first. Adjustments
should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of
80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if
it throws pH off further.
CAUTION
c.
After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.8. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
d.
Lastly test for Hardness. It should be between 150 and
250 ppm. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about 6 inches)
and fill with water low in calcium. If lower, add Calcium Increaser.
If balancing takes longer than 2 days shock the water and
maintain a chlorine level while continuing balancing.
