Hello I was wondering what the relationship was like with alkinity and PH in spas as I know that they get so much aeration you want your alkinity to be around 30-40ppm. Or at least that whatr has worked for me considering I have a 1,000 Gallon spa. Although what I am confused about is something I have encountered today where my co-worker showed me that his spa (of the exact same size) had his PH at around a 8.0ppm and we checked his alkinity to see what what us up and it was the same deal as mine, at a 30ppm?
If both our spas are the same size and his alkinity is at the same level as mine why is my PH performing so much better (7.4ppm) than his?
I am wondering if we should raise or lower his alkinity to stabilize his PH but that's just where I'm confused. His ALK is already at 30ppm, pretty low if you ask me, and if we lower it even more should that do the trick??
