How to Use Clear & Safe pH Minus for Perfect Hot Tub Water Balance

Balancing the pH levels in your hot tub is crucial for water safety, water quality and bather comfort. Clear & Safe pH Minus is an essential product for lowering pH levels, ensuring your hot tub water remains crystal clear and safe for use. This guide will explain what pH Minus is, why it’s necessary, and how to use it effectively.

What is pH Minus?

pH Minus / pH Decreaser is a granular chemical designed to reduce high pH levels in hot tub water. Maintaining a balanced pH (between 7.2 and 7.6) is essential for several reasons:

• Sanitizer Efficiency: Sanitizers like chlorine work best within this pH range.
• User Comfort: Proper pH prevents skin and eye irritation.
• Equipment Longevity: High pH levels can cause scaling and damage your hot tub components.

How to Use Clear & Safe pH Minus

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Test Your Water: Use a reliable test kit to measure the current pH level. If it’s above 7.6, pH Decreaser is required.
2. Determine the Dose: Typically, you’ll need 10g of pH Minus Decreaser per 1,000 liters of water to reduce the pH by 0.1 units. For example, if your hot tub holds 1,500 liters and the pH is 8.0, you would need 45g to bring it to 7.6.
3. Dissolve Before Adding: For safety, dissolve the granules in a bucket of warm water before slowly pouring it around the perimeter of the hot tub.
4. Circulate and Retest: Run the jets to circulate the water for at least 30 minutes, then retest the pH level. Repeat if necessary.
