Thank you very much for the detailed answer. I need to digest and learn a lot of information here. From a quick read on the internet, both FreshWater AG+ Silver Ionizer and Zodiac 2 New Nature 2 are designed to help maintain water clarity and reduce the need for traditional chemical treatments like chlorine. But their ingredients are a little different, Nuture2 uses a combination of minerals, such as silver and copper, to release controlled amounts of sanitizing agents into the water. whereas FreshWater utilizes only silver ions. I have only seen a hot spring spa with FreshWater... I didn't know my IP address was public here xD I'm not familiar with the types of test kits, there are spa and pool equipment stores but I don't have the energy to start traveling and looking.. I checked eBay/Amazon and the prices are very high for Taylor Technologies K-2006 and LaMotte why do I need these test kits? There are strips from Ali Express for 3 dollars like this: Are they inaccurate? It's a spa at my house that 90% of the time only I enter. I don't need precision levels of 9 digits after the decimal point (7.451285366 hahaha) You are correct that my use of hydrochloric acid was not responsible, I put in a whole liter and after I came back the next day there was still limescale, I said it was probably not enough and added everything else. It may be that only when the PH is really low, the scale starts to decrease, but then there is a risk of damage to the spa. According to the strips from Ali Express, the initial pH levels of the water were 7.6-7.8 And 50 ml of hydrochloric acid wouldn't do anything, I put a liter and there was still scale on the sides of the spa. What I do want to point out is that I have had this Hotspring spa for almost 15 years and without a single malfunction!! (There were replacements of filters and things of regular maintenance) But there wasn't a single glitch! Quality build quality, stable product. You see it's an American product, very satisfied with this purchase. Yes, my use of chatGPT is excessive, it already chooses for me what to eat for lunch hahahahahahahahahahaha What do high levels of TA mean? Right now according to my sticks they stand at 80-120 and also the PH in the 7.4 area assuming that these tests are accurate.

The product is called: Hot Spring Spas Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Sanitizer 71325 and yes every 4 months I replace it. Because I was really scared I drained a third of the spa water and refilled it back to the original line. I measure the PH and Alkalinity and MPS using hotspring test sticks. I'm going to run out of sticks... how do you recommend I check the values at the spa? Do you maybe have a word about the process I did with all the hydrochloric acid and baking soda I added? Could I hit the spa? Was it dangerous?

I use the following products in my spa: Ozonator, Silver Ionizer, Chlorine-Free Oxidizer My dealer told me not to put chlorine or bromine in my spa because it destroys the internals and the shell. He said that all the products I mentioned above in combination with a Tri-X Ceramic filter provide perfect protection. This is true? There is no information on these materials here in the forum... In addition, he told me that the Silver Ionizer needs to be replaced every 4 months, my question is could it be that the hydrochloric acid that I introduced into the system damaged it?

Please don't yell at me I don't understand the spa and I relied on this chatgpt and did some actions that at the moment I don't know what to do. So, after a long time of not using my Hotspring spa, I decided to fill it with water. I entered the spa, and everything was good, only full of scale on the sides. I decided to put Hydrochloric acid because there is a lot of scales in the water in my town. It didn't help, there was still limescale and I added and added and I got to the point where I added 3 liters of Hydrochloric acid 32% for a 1900 liter spa which is 502 gallons. All the scales came off quickly. I arrived within a few hours and PH just plunged and didn't come back up. I achieved the goal but it is impossible to enter because of the acidity. I listened to the chatgpt advice and added sodium bicarbonate. I started with 100 grams every few hours I came to the spa and PH just didn't rise, I got to the point where I already added a kilo of sodium bicarbonate and still according to the sticks my PH is low. I don't know how low it is because I don't have an accurate gauge, but according to the sticks it is below 6.8 what am I doing now? It's been two whole days and I can't raise the PH and don't know what the situation is. From reading online I understood that when Hydrochloric acid meets Sodium bicarbonate Salt is formed. I took a glass of water from the spa, put some on my tongue and didn't feel anything. No salinity, no acidity, only hot water at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius Please help me I'm afraid I didn't damage my spa 😭😭
