PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROPER WATER BALANCE
Low pH:
•causes rapid sanitizer loss.
•causes eye irritation and itchy skin.
•corrodes equipment
Solution: add pH increaser (pH up) to raise the pH levels.
High pH:
•forms scale.
•causes short filter runs.
•clouds water.
•reduces sanitizer efficiency.
Solution: add pH decreaser (pH down) to lower the pH levels.
Low Sanitizer Levels:
• allows growth of bacteria and viruses in spa water.
Solution: refer to Chemical Maintenance, Initial Start Up Procedures, page 19.
