As a spa owner, your primary task is to balance the water and maintain proper sanitizer levels, thereby ensuring a safe bathing environment. To do this, you need some basic knowledge of water chemistry and a familiarity with the various types of chemicals available for use in spas. If you’re diligent about testing the water and adding the proper amounts of the required chemicals, you’ll be rewarded with clean, healthy water. If not, you could encounter a host of problems including staining and corrosive water that over time will damage your spa.

Regular water testing and the addition of correct amounts of chemicals are key factors when it comes to having clear, healthy water. We recommend the use of a set of digital scales to avoid estimating, but use these only for spa chemicals and do not re-use them for food preparation.
