Newport Beach Spa Contractor

Hot tub maintenance begins with daily testing of pH and alkalinity levels. The warmer-than-average temperature inside you hot tub makes it a breeding ground for bacteria, algae and microorganisms. If you want a safe and healthy recreational experience, you need to add sanitizing chemicals, such as chlorine, bromide or ozone, to the water on a regular basis. Many people maintain water balance by using floating devices that dispense sanitizer from tablets throughout the day.

The best way to maintain the balance of your water is to invest in a set of test strips. Dip the strips in the water and interpret the resulting color. Test strips can be used to measure calcium, alkalinity, pH and sanitizer levels. Try to maintain a hot tub pH level between 7.2 and 7.8 and a alkalinity reading between 80 and 120 PPM.
