  • Increases Total Alkalinity

  • Come in 750g bottle


Why

  • Raises Total Alkalinity (TA) of hot tub water

  • Use when TA is less than 125 ppm to return to effective range of 125 – 150 ppm

  • Low TA causes;

    • pH bounce – difficult to balance

    • Increased corrosion of metal surfaces- staining





  • Etching of plaster, grout

  • Increased risk of problems and major repair costs



  • Highest grade mineral available

    • Very fine, granular form

    • Dissolves quickly and fully

    • Food grade – no impurities

    • Alkaline – pH 8.3 in solution




When

  • Apply when needed to maintain TA between 125 – 150 ppm

  • Always test with fresh fill and monthly thereafter


How Much

  • To raise TA:


o 18 g per 1,000 L raises TA 10 ppm

  • 1 capful = 10 grams (approx.)


How

  • Always adjust TA 1st, before pH or TH

  • Operate pump with air off

  • Apply product by sprinkling slowly over water surface in one application

  • Circulate for 1 – 2 hours

  • Always test and re-balance pH after application of Balance TA+


What is TA

  • The total of all alkaline minerals in water

  • Namely bicarbonates, carbonates, hydroxides

  • The measure of waters ability to resist a change in pH

  • Proper hot tub range: 125 – 150 ppm

  • Acts as a buffer or shock absorber for pH

  • Balance initially at fresh fill

  • Check monthly and adjust as needed


Why Is It Important

  • In hot tub water, a balanced total alkalinity does the following:

    • Allows easier maintenance of pH within the desired range

    • Helps protect surfaces from corrosion, staining and scale formation

    • Helps provide clearer water

    • Fewer problems / easier maintenance




Why Does TA Change

  • TA is depleted in the buffering of acids and maintenance of proper pH

  • Product additions can have an effect on TA

    • Bromine Tabs lower TA

    • Balance pH- lowers TA

    • Balance pH+ raises TA



  • Aeration lowers TA

  • Fill water can raise or lower TA


Problems Associated with TA

  • When low – acidic

    • pH bounces uncontrollably

    • Corrodes surfaces

    • Possible staining



  • When high – scale forming

    • High acid demand

    • High pH

    • Scale forms more readily

    • Cloudy water (calcium)
