Spa and Hot Tub Water Balance
Water balancing chemicals play a crucial role in ensuring spa and hot tub water is safe and healthy for users. They are used to help manage the properties in the water, such as pH and alkalinity, to ensure bather comfort and protect the lifespan of the spa and hot tub equipment.
Spa Dry Acid (pH Minus)
pH Minus is the ideal product to lower the pH or Total Alkalinity (TA) levels in your swimming pool, spa and hot tub water. High Total Alkalinity (TA) levels can lead to cloudy water, scale formation and poor performance from Sanitisers (Chlorine/Bromine). High Total Alkalinity (TA) can lead to pH levels becoming unstable. High pH levels can cause bather discomfort.
