A blissful spa experience starts with the right water balance. pH Up is your ticket to clearer, more comfortable water that is gentle on both your skin and your hot tub equipment. Dive into our guide on making the most of Spa pH Up.


Key Takeaways:
  • Spa pH Up ensures water that is less corrosive to equipment and free from odors.

  • Maintaining the ideal pH range of 7.2-7.8 is pivotal for avoiding skin and eye irritations.

  • Regular pH level checks using test strips can help in the timely application of pH Up.



Step-by-Step Process:
  1. Utilize test strips to consistently monitor your spa water’s pH levels, ideally on a daily basis.

  2. If the pH reading is below 7.2, it's time for some pH Up.

  3. While the spa pump is active, pour in 1 oz. of pH Up for every 200 gallons of water. Always reference the dosage chart on the product’s bottle for precise measurements.

  4. If the pH reading dips below 6.6, adhere to the guidelines for a "below 6.8" reading.

  5. Post application, ensure the water circulates for a minimum of 20 minutes.

  6. After an hour, retest the pH. Apply additional pH Up if needed until the desired pH is achieved.
