Calcium Hardness Adjustment
Use the included test strips to check the water hardness level and adjust it following below chart.
Lowering Calcium Hardness
If your household water supply is treated with a softener, mix the spa hard water with the soft water
according to the water volume ratio chart to lower the calcium hardness:
Initial level 1000 ppm 500 ppm 350 ppm 250 ppm
Desired level:
100 ppm
Water Volume Ratio
(Vhard water:Vsoft water)
1:9 1:4 2:5 2:3
Lowering Calcium Hardness Using Soft Water
Raising pH
Raising pH Using Sodium Bicarbonate
WARNING
Muriatic acid is a caustic chemical and liquid solution of sodium bisulfate (NaHSO
4
) is highly acidic. Handle
all chemicals with care and wear extra personnel protective equipment including goggle and gloves. It is
very important not to splash acid onto your skin or clothing, or into your eyes.
