π What Itβs For:
Raises calcium hardness in spa water to prevent corrosion of equipment, etching of surfaces, and foaming caused by soft water.
β How to Use It:
-
Dose: 1 tablespoon (0.5 oz) per 100 gallons raises hardness by ~25 ppm
-
Apply by: Broadcasting evenly over the surface with circulation running
-
Wait Time: 4 hours before retesting and rebalancing if needed
-
Frequency: As needed, especially after draining and refilling
β οΈ Safety Notes:
-
Avoid exceeding 400 ppm to prevent scaling
-
Always test water before adjusting β only raise if below recommended range
π¬ Pro Tip:
Essential after a fresh fill or when using softened water. Balanced calcium helps maintain clear water, extend equipment life, and reduce chemical demand.
