Great, thanks for the assistance.

Apologies in advance if this has been posted elsewhere but I can’t find it. I have spa with a spillover and I have always assumed that if I’m testing the pool chems then those results should be good for the spa. Looking at a calcium build up on the glass tile in the spa, it made me start...

Hi, sorry for the late response. I am using 31.45, 20 Baume. Just switched over to a different acid due to lack of availability of the other, which is 14.5, 9.8 Baume and that seemed to do the trick. PH is now 7.4 after applying yesterday. I’ll monitor twice daily for the next few days to see...
