PH and TA frustration


Blueser

Recommended Posts

Good morning all, 

I am new to this site so please go easy on me lol. I also appreciate this has probably been asked a million times previously however I am going to ask the question until I get used to the search facilities etc 

I have a hot tub and whilst generally very happy with it, I seem to be struggling sometimes with balancing my ph and TA

I check my water every day (a little OCD I appreciate) and as I say, I do have lovely clear water, however the ph and TA are sometimes a challenge and was wondering If I was missing something?

My main issue is that my ph often reads slightly low on the test strip but the TA reads ok or towards the top end of the suggested test zone however when I add ph plus to my water, it seems to raise the TA too??

Is there a way that I can raise my ph without raising my TA? 

Please be gentle with me and try not to blow my brain with too much complicated science

Thanks in advance

Thankyou mate

I had a search around earlier and saw something similar so did this. The information suggested lowering the TA with ph minus until it was where it needed to be and then run the jets which I did and whilst the ph is not perfect, its withing the suggested zone on the test strip tub

Thankyou for taking the time to get back to me
