Keeping your hot tub in perfect working order can be a balancing act - a pH balancing act. It is important to keep the pH level of the water between 7.2 and 7.4. Outside of these numbers then problems can occur for you and your spa.
Maintaining pH levels at the optimal level ensures that you have clear skin and water as
pH imbalance can cause burning eyes, skin irritation and cloudy water.
