Saving Money with Spa Chemicals?
Many spa chemical products are expensive, but offer no advantages over generics. Most spas need 3 types of chemicals: a disinfectant, pH up, and pH down. Pool chlorine tablets can be used in most spas. These can help save money over spa-branded products, while ensuring a clean and sanitary spa. pH is usually raised by the addition of chlorine, so no pH up product is usually needed. pH down spa products can be replaced by sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda. Algicide can be replaced by Borax, often saving hundreds of dollars a year. Make sure to consult a pool professional before using any chemicals.
If stomach acid has a PH of 1 and a person took a tums tablet which raised the PH to 3 how much was the increase in PH?
the increase in PH = 3 - 1 = 2
If the chlorine levels are correct but PH is constantly high what is the best solution?
I have the same problem with my 2000 gal. in-ground spa. Each week I have to add muriatic acid to reduce the PH. Since my spa is small, in relation to a pool, I usually only have to add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of acid to bring the PH down to the perfect range.
What causes foam in a spa how do you control the PH and Bromine in a spa?
Get a Bromine test kit and a pH test Kit. The bromine level should be around 4.0ppm and the pH should be around 7.4.To raise Bromine, add Bromine.To lower Bromine, add waterTo raise pH: add soda AshTo lower pH: add Muriatic AcidAs for the foam, it is caused by tanning oils, sunblocks, shampoos, conditioners, soap, body oil, fabric cleaners etc. To correct this problem add hexametaphosphate or "Foam Out".
What is a normal pH water balance for pools?

How do fertilizers affect the pH of waterways?
Fertilizers contain nitrogen and phosphorus which can affect the pH of water ways. A pH of 7 is neutral. When water pH is raised above this, it can have harmful affects on the waterway, causing nutrient or water pollution.
How many times a solution of pH equals 2 be diluted to get a solution of pH equals 5?
When diluted 10 times pH is raised by 1 unit in a acid.So you have to dilute 1000 times.
What is the ka of the first ionization of h3po4 if you initially had 0.58 m of phosphoric acid and your pH at equilibrium is 3?
[H+] = 10 raised to the -pH, or 10 raised to -3, which equals .001. Then Ka = [H+] squared / Molarity of the solution, which equals 1.72 E(-6).
When pH testing a pool or spa, what do the colors on the test strip mean?
If your result is orange you are right where you need to be. If it turns yellow you will have to add chlorine to balance the pH levels out. Like I said though, orange is perfect and you will only have to check it twice a month.
