Overview pH determines if your water is basic or alkaline. Translation: pH in a hot tub determines if your water is likely to cause corrosion or scaling. A well balanced pH, in coordination with other parameters, causes neither. Why does this matter? High pH in a hot tub unbalances the water, increasing the risk of […]
Understanding the Importance of Total Alkalinity in Hot Tubs
Overview Total Alkalinity (TA) is the first parameter we’re going to discuss in managing the chemistry in your hot tub. TA is important to us because it buffers changes to pH. Buffering means that before anything can impact pH, it has to impact TA first. When your TA is high, you need a lot of […]
