	Why does the pH level need to be between 7.2 & 7.8?

Solution The pH level is the measure of active acid or base in your hot tub's water. The pH reading tells you the quality of your water, not the quantity of acid or base in it. A pH reading can be any where from 0 to 14 (acidic to alkaline/basic). Our body's normal pH level ranges from 7.2 to 7.8. This is why you need to keep your hot tub water within this range. If the water's pH level is below 7.2, your water is acidic & not only may erode your tub's plumbing & cause damage to its heater & other parts but is also dangerous to you. If the level is above 7.8, your water is alkaline which causes scale to build up on your hot tub's equipment. For adjusting pH levels, ThermoSpas has two products available: pH Increase & pH Decrease. Ask a Customer Care Representative for more details.
