Common Sense Water Chemistry

Without chemicals, the warm water in your spa is the perfect environment for germs, bacteria and other living organisms. Chemicals

added to your spa water are utilized as they destroy the bacteria from dead skin cells, sweat and other bodily uids. Routine addition

of sanitizers kept at constant levels keep your water clean and safe to use. Maintaining water chemistry is dierent in every spa and for

every spa user. Your water chemistry changes constantly. When the water in your spa evaporates, dissolved solids like calcium, salt and

metal remain, they do not evaporate with the water. Adding more water adds more dissolved solids which may leave deposits on the

acrylic surface and inside the spa components. When the cover is o, pollen, dust and dirt change the water chemistry. A spa once a

day will require more chemicals than the same spa lled with water from the same source that’s only used once a week. What it takes to

balance your water chemistry in January will be dierent in July.

The major considerations in water chemistry are:

• The number of gallons of water in the spa

• The number of people using the spa

• The number of hours the spa is being used

In short, more water used by more people for longer periods will require more chemicals.

Whether you have used your spa or not, you should test your water twice a week. Regular testing lets you to make adjustments before

your water chemistry is out of control. When it comes to chemicals, more is not better. Adding chemicals changes the pH. Fluctuations

in the pH change the way chemicals react. The addition of too many chemicals may mean your only option is to drain the spa and start

over. Depending on how many people use the spa and how often the spa is used, you should replace the water every four to six months

to ensure your comfort and safety. Replacing the water will also help protect the spa components from damage caused by dissolved

solids that build up over time.
