WATER TREATMENT GLOSSARY

1 - Total Alkalinity: Total Alkalinity measures the water’s ability to re- sist fluctuations in the pH level. It is measured in ppm (parts per million) ranging from 0 - 400 or up. The optimum range for your spa water is between 80 and 140. This can easily be measured with 3- or 5-way test strips. With low alkalinity the pH level will be prone to dramatic fluctuations. With high alkalinity the pH becomes increasingly difficult to adjust.

2 - pH (potential hydrogen): The pH is used as a measurement of the active acidity, the concentration of active hydrogen molecules in the water. pH is measured on a scale from 1 to 14, the lower numbers in- dicating a greater concentration of active hydrogen. While 7, halfway between base and acid is neutral, the optimum level of acidity for a spa is between 7.2 and 7.8.
