Kallagtunet Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi What is the recommended water quality test kit for a spa bath with Artic Onzen saltwater system? The Onzen will be combined with a Peak Ozone 2 system if that matter. Will the TAYLOR K-2006 kit work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem geek Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yes, the Onzen system is a saltwater chlorine generator so the K-2006 would work well with such a system. Don't forget to add some Cyanuric Acid (CYA) to the water or else the chlorine will be too strong. About 30-40 ppm CYA should work well.

Kallagtunet Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Do i need other instruments in my maintenance? Salt level meter? Other tings? If so what is the reccomended product(s) to buy in addition to the Taylor K 2006 kit? The spa is the artic ocean swimspa, are there special considerations with regards to maintaining the best water quality level given the larger volume (approx 6000 liters) of water than a regular spa? Any cosierations to take into account when running the artic onzen generator and the artic peak ozone 2 at the same time? The use will probably be little to no use during weekdays but high loads during weekends, several kids for several hours and then mom and pops in for a late night dip.

chem geek Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I forgot to mention that the K-2006 does not have a salt test so you'd need to get either AquaChek Salt Test Strips or the Taylor K-1766. The ozone from the ozone generator will react with the chlorine to produce oxygen gas and chloride ion. Though inefficient, there should be enough of each on their own to keep the spa in good shape. If you are able to time them to not run at the same time, then that would obviously be better. Probably running the ozone right after the high usage for an hour or two and then run the chlorine after that and for background dosing in between soaks would be best.
