What is the ideal pH range for my spa?

Yes, the formula is effective for both hot tubs and swimming pools.
Should the pump be running when I add the reducer?

Troubleshooting
pH level remains high after treatment
Check the total alkalinity levels first; if alkalinity is very high, the pH will be resistant to change. You may need to treat alkalinity before pH.
Water turned cloudy after adding product
Cloudiness can occur if the chemical is added too quickly or not dissolved properly. Ensure the jets are running and allow the filter to cycle for at least 2-4 hours.
pH dropped too low
If you have over-corrected, you will need a pH Increaser to bring the balance back up to the recommended 7.2 to 7.6 range.
