Borates for Hot Tubs

Benefits

Adding borates to your hot tub will buffer the water, helping to keep the pH and alkalinity in range longer. pH-balanced water is more comfortable on your skin during and after use, and you will spend less on balancing chemicals.

Chlorine and other sanitizers work best when the pH is between 7.2 and 7.8. So, using a pH buffer like borates will help the sanitizer work more effectively, especially when the chlorine level is kept low, as with a mineral spa.

Boric acid, the active ingredient in our borates system, has anti-fungal and anti-algae properties, which help keep these microorganisms out of the water.

The result is silky, luxurious water with an added sparkle that feels better on your skin during and after use.

Directions for Use

  1. Fill the hot tub with fresh water
  2. Balance water alkalinity to 80 – 120ppm
  3. Balance pH to 7.4 – 7.8
  4. With the jets running on low, slowly add 1 lb of the product (half the package) for every 500 gallons of water.
  5. Test for borates and add more if needed to reach 40-50ppm
