Not so much the hot tub more like the people in it, the PH levels are for 2 reasons 1 to stop bacteria growing in the hot tub (which is bad for the user not so much the tub) 2 to stop the liquid in the hot tub melting the occupant of the hot tub (melting might be a little strong but serious irritation and sickness can occur if your tub is not properly maintained) Side note: if the PH is way off it could adversely affect parts of the hot tub, but if it's that extreme you will be in for a nasty time if you get in it.
