KMills Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi all. So I have an Arctic Spa Onzen hot tub with hard to balance ph and alk. My ph was high which I believe was contributing to a slightly cloudy water. I finally after a lot of ph decreased got my ph is normal range but now my alk is 0. Will it raise on its own? If I add baking soda it will just boost the ph again and it will continue to be a never ending cycle. Any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

waterbear Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 How are you testing the water? Please post a full set of test results . A TA of 0 is unlikely unless the pH is extremely low! High pH will not normally cause cloudy water. Please post a full set of test results not taken with strips (They are pretty useless for balancing water) Read these pinned posts: https://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/52522-some-truths-about-ph-and-ta/ https://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/index.php?/topic/28846-lowering-total-alkalinity-howto/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
