Hardness Increaser for hot tubs is a vital chemical solution designed to raise the calcium hardness levels in your spa or hot tub water. Proper calcium hardness is crucial for maintaining the water balance, preventing damage to your hot tub, and ensuring a smooth, enjoyable experience. By adjusting calcium levels, Hardness Increaser helps avoid corrosion, scaling, and other common water issues in hot tubs.
Prevents Equipment Damage: Maintaining the correct calcium hardness helps protect the hot tub heater, jets, and other vital components from damage caused by low calcium levels, preserving your hot tub's longevity.
Prevents Scaling: Proper calcium levels help prevent the formation of mineral deposits on surfaces like the filter, pipes, and jets, keeping your hot tub functioning efficiently and avoiding costly repairs.
Enhances Water Quality: A balanced level of calcium ensures that the water remains clear and comfortable. Without the right calcium levels, your spa water could become corrosive, irritating the skin, or cloudy, making your hot tub less inviting.
Simple to Use: Hardness increaser is typically available in either granular or liquid form and is easy to apply. By simply adding the product to your spa water according to the instructions, you can quickly raise calcium levels and achieve the right balance.
Test the Water: Before applying any hardness increaser, use a test kit or test strips to measure your current calcium hardness level. Ideal calcium hardness levels for hot tubs generally fall between 150–250 ppm.
Add the Hardness Increaser: Depending on your test results, calculate the required amount of hardness increaser. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the product packaging for precise dosing. Add the increaser gradually, either by sprinkling the granular form directly into the water or adding the liquid form while the jets are running.
Allow Circulation: Let the hot tub water circulate for several hours to fully dissolve the hardness increaser and mix it evenly throughout the water.
Retest the Water: After circulation, retest the calcium hardness levels. If the levels are still too low, repeat the process until the desired range is achieved.
Regular Maintenance: To maintain consistent water balance, regularly test your hot tub water for calcium hardness, especially if you frequently drain and refill the spa or after heavy usage.
By using Hardness Increaser for your hot tub, you’ll ensure that the calcium hardness is properly balanced, preventing issues like corrosion and scaling while maintaining clear and comfortable water. Regular use of hardness increaser ensures your hot tub equipment stays in top condition, making your spa experience more enjoyable and hassle-free.
Hardness Increaser is a water treatment chemical used to raise Calcium Hardness (CH) levels in swimming pools and hot tubs. Correct calcium levels: Prevent corrosion of metal components Protect heaters and pumps Stop etching of surfaces Help prevent foaming in hot tubs Reduce the risk of pitting in plaster or concrete pools Typical recommended ranges: Hot tubs: 100 – 200 ppm Swimming pools: 200 – 400 ppm Test the water to determine current calcium levels. Calculate the dose needed to reach the ideal range. Pre-dissolve the product in a bucket of warm water. Add to the water with the pump running to ensure good circulation. Foaming in hot tubs Corrosion of heaters, pumps, and metal fittings Etching or pitting of pool surfaces Cloudy water Reduced lifespan of spa components Scale formation on heaters, jets, and waterline Cloudy water Rough pool surfaces Reduced heater efficiency Possible damage to pumps or filters Calcium chloride has a very long shelf life.FAQs
