WATER CHEMISTRY

A proper and consistent use of chemicals is necessary to maintain
clean, sanitary water, prevent a spread of germ infection, and
control the growth of algae which can spoil the appearance and
enjoyment of your spa.
Chlorine is the most commonly used chemical to provide clean,
sanitary water. Either dry or liquid chlorine (calcium or sodium
hypochlorite) can be used which should be added daily as it is
dissipated by dirt and germs as well as by the sun and wind. It is
also important that the correct level of acidity or alkalinity of the
pool water be maintained. This is measured in pH; a pH reading of
7.0 is considered neutral. Readings above pH 7.0 are alkaline and
readings below are acid. A desirable range is 7.2 to 7.4.
