PH testing is a necessary part of hot tub ownership.\u00a0 Regular pH testing prevents corrosion of a hot tub\u2019s piping and internal mechanisms.\u00a0 It also helps maintain clear, aesthetically pleasing water.\u00a0 In chlorine-sanitized hot tubs, pH testing is necessary to keep the water free from bacteria.\u00a0 Without proper pH testing, you risk infection to yourself and guests as well as untimely degradation of your hot tub\u2019s internal components.<\/p>\n

As a result, pH testing should be performed at least one per week.\u00a0 A decade ago, accurate pH testing was only accomplished through complicated liquid titration kits.\u00a0 More convenient test strips, until recently, did not have the same reliability as more complex test kits.\u00a0 Now, however, this has changed.\u00a0 Test strips in recent years are just as accurate as liquid test kits, and much easier to use.\u00a0 In addition, modern test strips are usually all-in-one kits that test not only pH, but also other important chemical factors like sanitizer concentrations and alkalinity.\u00a0 The Cover Guy sells excellent 4-in-1 test strips that can meet all chemical testing needs.<\/p>\n

To test a hot tub, first prepare a test strip.\u00a0 Test strips should be appropriate to the type of sanitizer being used.\u00a0 Test strips designed for chlorine sanitizers will give wildly inaccurate results in bromine-sanitized hot tubs, and vice versa.\u00a0 Additionally, test strips\u2019 expiry dates should be checked before use to make sure that they are still accurate.\u00a0 When you remove a test strip from the bottle, immediately close the bottle tightly.\u00a0 The longer a test strip bottle is open, the more likely it is that the test strips inside will become contaminated and unreliable.<\/p>\n

Then, wash your hands.\u00a0 Trace elements on your fingers can affect test results.\u00a0 Take a sample of your hot tub\u2019s water in a clean drinking glass.\u00a0 Follow the test strip bottle\u2019s directions about how to test the water.\u00a0 In most cases, the directions will instruct you to dip the test strip\u2019s test pads briefly in the water.\u00a0 Then, remove it, hold it still for twenty seconds or so, and then check the color-coded results against the chart on the bottle.<\/p>\n

If you are using a chlorine-based sanitizer, you will want a pH between 7.0 and 7.6.\u00a0 Any lower reading and the chlorine will be used up rapidly.\u00a0 Any higher reading and it will be ineffective.\u00a0 If you are using hard water to fill your tub, you will want a pH of 7.0-7.4.\u00a0 Any higher levels will cause corrosion, cloudy water, and the formation of floating metal flakes in the water.<\/p>\n

Testing for pH using a 4-in-1 test strip is also a great time to check sanitizer levels, calcium levels, and alkalinity.\u00a0 If any of these are outside of acceptable bounds, they can be easily fixed.\u00a0 Various spa care kits, available through The Cover Guy, can adjust pH, alkalinity and calcium according to need.\u00a0 Testing is the first step in ensuring that your spa gets the care it needs.\u00a0 With appropriate care, you can dramatically increase the lifespan of your spa. Always ensure that you get the best suited spa covers and hot tub covers for your home and enjoy the terephthalic benefits.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
