For Chlorine/Bromine Purity
Systems |
Total Alkalinity Test |
Total pH Test |
Calcium Hardness Test |
|
Ideal Range: Chlorine
1.5-2PPM |
Ideal Range: 90-120PPM (9-12
drops) |
Ideal Range 7.4-7.6 |
Ideal: 150PPM |
|
If the results are LOW
add Chlorine
Concentrate. This chemical
should be added after all
water tests have been
completed and all other
balancing chemicals have
been added |
If the results are LOW
(below 90PPM or 9 drops)
raise alkalinity with Total
Alkalinity Increaser
product. |
If the results are LOW,
retest total alkalinity.
If results show that total
alkalinity is within range,
raise pH with pH Increaser
product. Use chart on back
of bottle for instructions
and quantities. |
|
|
If chlorine results are
HIGH, add 2-5 drops of
Chlorine Neutralizer reagent
#4 when testing pH and total
alkalinity. |
If total alkalinity results
are HIGH (above 170PPM or
17 drops)
retest to confirm results and
contact
Carefree Spas for a water
test discussion. Hint: 1
Tablespoon of Total
Alkalinity Increaser per 200
gallons = 10ppm. Hint: When
testing Total Alkalinity use
2-4 drops of Reagent #4
(Chlorine Neutralizer)
instead of directions that
call for 1 drop if
chlorine/bromine is high. |
If results are HIGH add pH Decreaser. Hint: Only add 1
Tablespoon per 200 gallons at a time. Retest after a few hours. Hint:
When testing pH use 2-4 drops of Reagent #4 (Chlorine Neutralizer)
instead of directions calling for 1 drop if chlorine/bromine is high. |
Upon drain and refill, bring
water sample to
for analysis and recommendations. |
|
Typically shock spa water
once per week. Hint: average shock is 1
teaspoon of Chlorine
Concentrate per 100 gallons. |
Correct total alkalinity
only when sanitizer
(chlorine/bromine) level is
normal or below normal.
Correct alkalinity before
attempting to correct pH. |
Correct total pH only when
sanitizer (chlorine/bromine)
level is normal or below
normal. |
