Updated 2022- Salt Water PH Levels

In order for your spa to run at the optimal level, we recommend a pH range of  7.2 - 7.6.  Values above 7 are Alkaline; those below 7 are acidic.

Maintaining the proper pH level is extremely important for:

  • Optimizing the effectiveness of the sanitizer

  • Maintaining water that is comfortable for the user

  • Preventing equipment deterioration

  • Preventing cloudy or odorous water

If the spa water’s pH level is too low, the following may occur:

  • The sanitizer will dissipate rapidly

  • The water may become irritating to spa users

  • The spa’s equipment may corrode

If the spa water's pH level is too high, the following may occur:

  • The water may appear cloudy

  • Scale deposits may form on the equipment and the acrylic

  • The sanitizer will be less effective

In order to accurately test the spas pH level a manual drop test is required.
