Fry Man Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I am new to hot tubs and have been following the discussions in this forum on water chemistry. Following the advice of most people I have purchased the Taylor 2006 kit and have found the water control to be straight forward. I would like to add some Borates to my tub as per the different recommendations but the Taylor kit does not have a test for Borates. Can you tell me how this chemical is measured?

mcw53 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I use the LaMotte Borate Test Strips. You can find them online for about $10 plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantumchromodynamics Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 You can use the pool calculator to calculate the correct amount of either Borax or boric acid to use for your tub and the desired increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use the pool calculator but am looking for a way to measure the actual level of Borates before making other adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
