. To lower pH add a granular pH Decreaser, or sodium bisulfate at the rate suggested on the container . After initial application, allow water to circulate approximately 20 minutes on Jets 1 at high speed. Test pH and add second dose if required. (Adirondack Spas® Jets 1 operates 15 minutes) Total Alkalinity There are minerals in your spa water that act as buffering agents .
Example: At low total alkalinity levels, the water’s pH easily drifts, making frequent pH adjustments necessary and the added expense of multiple chemical treatments . On the other hand, a high total alkalinity level keeps the water pH rigidly fixed . If pH adjustment is necessary, you will need unusually large amounts of treatment chemicals to change the water’s pH.
