WATER PURITY & FILTRATION Keeping the water clean – chemical sanitizers One of the bigger reasons that people require service on their spa is because they haven’t followed a chemical application regiment. Water can accumulate impurities that worsen the performance or even damage the filtration system if chemicals are not applied on a regular basis.
Spa Chemistry 101 The pH scale At first, trying to understand spa chemistry can seem like a daunt- goes from ing task to say the least. We intend on helping you understand spa 0 to 14, with chemicals so that you can maintain the health of your spa at the best zero being level possible.

Upon reaction with bacteria and other spa contaminants, hy- pobromous acid is reduced back to bromide ion, ready to be activated again by the next dose of potassium monopersulfate. Potassium monop- ersulfate begins to produce bromine immediately and continues to do so for several hours, providing sufficient time for oxidation of bather waste and other organic contamination such as ammonia and nitrogen.
