3.The ideal range for proper water maintenance is as fol- lows:
BROMINE | 3.0 | - 5.0 | ppm |
CHLORINE | 1.0 | - 3.0 | ppm |
pH | 7.4 | - 7.6 | ppm |
ALKALINITY | 125 - 150 ppm | ||
4.Bromine (or Chlorine) levels need to be tested daily.
5.pH levels need to tested daily.
IMPORTANT
If your bromine (or chlorine) reading is above 6.0 you may obtain a false result when testing for pH. In this case, lower the chlorine or bromine before per- forming any other tests.
6.The water in your spa should be hard (bypass water sof- tener). If you suspect you have soft water, you may need a calcium increaser. Check with your local spa store.
7.Alkalinity levels need to be tested weekly.
8.Water testing should be done at home using test strips or an accurate test kit, or by taking your water to a spa or pool retail outlet and having them test your water sample (you should expect to pay a nominal fee for this service).
