After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.8. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
d.
Lastly test for Hardness. It should be between 150 and
250 ppm. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about
6 inches) and fill with water low in calcium. If lower, add
Calcium Increaser.
If balancing takes longer than 2 days, shock the water and
maintain a chlorine level while continuing balancing.
Clean or replace filter cartridges

ing and before using cartridges,
establish an initial residual of 1.0-
2.0 ppm bromine or chlorine. For
best results use FROG Jump Start
start-up shock, included in this
package, that quickly dissolves
with an effervescent action – one
packet per 600 gallons. Do not
use a non-chlorine shock.
