pH Perfect Balance for Hot Tubs

I followed the directions to a tee. It made the water cloudy at first and I followed the instructions to address that. Next day, water is clear but there is a thick layer of white sludge covering the entire bottom and sides of my tub and my filter was completely jammed with the sludge. I’ll be weeks cleaning up this mess. The pictures taken are after 2 days of cleaning and vacuuming. The filter has been soaking for 2 days as well. Sure would appreciate any advice about how to clean this up without dumping all the water, again.

I made the mistake of adding calcium booster before using this. This stuff solidified every bit of calcium and coated EVERYTHING chalky white. Gummed up the filter, calcium deposits on jets, every tub surface, and coated heater element white. Descaler did not help. Had to drain tub, remove heater element, every single jet and control, and wash tub and jets in CLR. If you added any calcium booster, DO NOT USE! The pic is of the heater element. Every jet and tub surface looked the same.

All good

This not the first time I have purchased this product. It is essential for the type of water I have in central MO.
I use it after I decrease the very alkaline pH water and use it as a buffer to maintain a pH of 7.2 to 7.4

Helps maintain a steady balance of water chemistry and helps to reduce chemical uses and reduce water changes.

Great stuff

I change my spa water every 3 months and I always pour this in when I refill. It keeps my pH levels perfect until I change the water again.

I have read many of the reviews and the bad ones appear to have been from people who did not do research and follow instructions. When I used this product at first (previous product, same chemicals) I got calcium precipitation for a day of two and a pretty much clogged filter. Cleaned filter and all was fine after that,

After a lot of researching I found out that heating the dissolved product caused precipitation. Now, after I have added all chemicals and heated the water to 104 degrees (3 degrees past my normal setting of 100 degrees) I
1) turn off all the air to the jets
2) add the spa balance chemicals
3) turn the heater down to 80 degrees (so that the heat will not come on)

When the chlorine shock has settled in it is OK to use the SPA. After 1 to 2 days I turn the heat back to my preferred settings. I start usig the air in the jets at this time but keep the air off when I am not in the tub. After a week or so I let the air on all the time so that stink does not build up from being shut off.

I have not experienced ANY precipitation using this technique. I only discovered this about a year ago and the memory of sitting in the tub and straining out the precipitation with a net and wiping the tub walls free of accumulation are only a memory.

Definitely stabilizes the pH and keeps it steady for a longer period of time.

Oh perfect helps keep the ph balanced so I don’t have to keep adjusting it.

Great product - works as advertised!!

I've been using this for years and it works great. Replace water in hot tub every 3 months, and put this in with each replacement cycle.

In my application with well water with a high calcium content this product works well to help balance the water chemistry.

Just recently cleaned and re-filled my spa. Added the product and after a few weeks the pH is at the perfect level. Will be keeping an eye on the pH level in my spa to see if it continues to stay where it should be, but so far, so good! *Sweepstakes*

I used this on previous water change and bought another one. I recommend it.

Turned cloudy instantly and it was nice and clear! Took me 2 days to clear it up and clean my new filter twice.

Followed instructions. Soon after fresh water turned cloudy, filter was covered in what felt like white lotion. May have to drain and refill again if filters can't remove it. Not worth the hassle!

Was trying to reorder PH Up and didn't see it. Bought this thinking it was what I needed. It's actually gor a startup procedure to help with water balance. Can't really rate it now do 3 stars is what I give it because I don't know how it will work.

So easy to use. I used to buy a similar product years ago & haven't been able to find it until now. Love it. Water feels so good.

This is my first time to use this product. So far I like it . Very simple to use , and my ph has stayed within good levels . I have not had to add any ph plus or minus

Use product in my hot tub

Our water starts with low hardness. Balance alk and pH and poured in bottle. Afterwards alk high and pH low which is a weird combo. Lowered hardness to way less than 50 ppm. Tried to lower alkalinity with pH down didn't seem to work. Tried to raise hardness since everything I read low hardness is bad. Turned the water to slimy milk when I added calcium hardness. Probably drain and start over. Bummer was I bought 3 bottles.

Works great. Stabilized my chemistry with first use.

Keeps the spa pH all the ways through the time to change the water again. Remember, don't adjust alkalinity until after you put the pH Control in.

I use a complete bottle at water change, and then reorder for next time. This is the first time I used it. It seems to be working. I'll know more in a couple of months.

easy to add to water

i use control the pH every time i drain and refill my hot tub. it controls variances in the pH balance and since i got into a habit of draining and filling the hot tub every three months, this product works well for me. i dont even test for pH anymore...

I use it to lock in the pH when I refill my spa.

Fresh fill added jump start pack and perfect clear water. Added this product and two hours later very cloudy water with super high ph and alkalinity levels. Added clairifier as instructions said. Let sit over night, no change. This morning I've tried ph down twice, about to drain and refill again.

Keeps our clean & clear. Love it!

I treated my spa water to get it balanced and it was good then the next day the Ph was off so added this ""Control the PH for Spas"" and it has been balanced since.
