I have followed Nitro's advise on hot tub chemistry over several years with great success. I recently purchased a Hotsprings tub with the ACE salt water sanitizing system. It calls for the following parameters:
Salt - 1750 ppm
Hardness - 50 ppm
Alkalinity - 80 ppm
pH - 7.4
Chlorine - 3 ppm
When I plug these numbers into the Pool Calculator, it gives me a Calcite Saturation Index of -.86, which is way lower than Nitro's suggested 0-ish.
Does anyone know, if I dial my water in to these levels, what the possible negative affects will be?

Hi All,

Thanks in advance
