Hello all,
PH 7.5
TA 50
Borrates 50
CH 130
CYA 30
Chlorine 4
I recently had to replace a corroded water heater in my hot tub. I just re read the sticky about how to use chlorine in your hot tub and noted in the paragraph about PH that it mentions if your CH is too low it can cause your heater to corrode. I try to maintain the target numbers for water chemistry recommended in that sticky yet I had a corroded heater. How do I know what is too low for my CH? Does the calcium saturation index indicate when corrosive conditions exist in my water chemistry? What is a good range for CSI in a hot tub?
Thank you very much.
