Product Information

Testing your hot tub’s Total Alkalinity each week will help you catch a serious dip before it starts causing headaches. How to adjust your hot tub’s Total Alkalinity Read on to find out everything a hot tub owner needs to know about Total Alkalinity. What is Total Alkalinity? If the total alkalinity is high then the pH can be difficult to change and will keep rising. A high total alkalinity can also lead to the formation of a bicarbonate scale on pool surfaces, within pipework and in plant room equipment. Be sure to carefully measure out the chemical you need before adding it, as you need to be precise to get the right results.

If your spa’s Total Alkalinity is too high, its water will be too alkaline. As well as stopping your sanitiser from killing bacteria as effectively as possible, alkaline spa water will also: You don't have permission to access "http://www.homedepot.com/p/Pool-Time-16-lb-Total-Alkalinity-Stabilizer-23546PTM/302895483" on this server.

If the TA still isn’t within 125 and 155 PPM, adjust until it is. are affected by changes in pH, temperature, and pressure. By isolating the conservative ions on one side of this charge balance equation, the nonconservative ions which accept or donate protons and thus define alkalinity are clustered on the other side of the equation. Fluctuating pH levels: When there is insufficient alkalinity in your hot tub water, it means the pH level will fluctuate wildly. This is known as the pH bounce. It happens because the water has an insufficient pH buffer. Alkalinity roughly refers to the molar amount of bases in a solution that can be converted to uncharged species by a strong acid. For example, 1mole of HCO −

Measure out the correct amount according to your calculations. Generally, you’ll need one tablespoon of sodium bicarbonate if your hot tub contains 100 gallons of water.

is 2 molar equivalents because twice as many H + ions would be necessary to balance the charge. The total charge of a solution always equal zero. [8] This leads to a parallel definition of alkalinity that is based upon the charge balance of ions in a solution. Test your spa’s Total Alkalinity once a week as part of your hot tub maintenance routine, add a few scoops of chemicals if they’re needed, and then finish off by adjusting the pH. If your spa’s TA is too high, it’s pH levels will be sky high and just about impossible to keep below 7.6. If it’s too low, the water will be far too acidic and difficult to bring up to 7.2.

Too many chemicals: If you add more chemicals than you need to, it will increase the TDS or Total Dissolved Solids. You must drain, clean, and refill your hot tub once every quarter to stop this from happening.
