TESTING SPA WATER
Test tablets and solution are available from Enviro Spa
TO BALANCE THE WATER, TEST SPA MID WEEK
- Rinse and fill both cylinders with spa water.
- Place 5 drops of PHENOL RED solution into the cylinder marked pH, replace the lid.
- Drop test tablet marked ‘Hydrogen Peroxide LR’ in the other test cylinder.
- Replace lid and shake, wait until Booster tablet has completely dissolved.
pH TEST:
- If reading is below ‘Ideal’ 7.6, add pH Raiser – 2 x 30ml measure cups per 1,000 litres.
- Retest pH the following day and if it hasn’t risen enough, add another dose of pH Raiser.
BOOSTER TEST:
- When the tablet has dissolved, the sample will slowly turn pink if Booster is present.
- If the test colour is light pink, add a normal dose of Booster (see blue Weekly Dosage card for amount according to spa water volume).
- If the test is clear, add a DOUBLE dose of Booster. This will drop the pH, so add a single dose of pH Raiser according to the dose rate for your spa water volume.
- The Booster test colour needs to be maintained at dark pink (5) to prevent cloudy water.
Most spas require a twice weekly dose of BOOSTER powder.
