Clearwater CH0008 PH Minus Decreaser for Swimming Pool and Spa Treatment

Product Information

Every attempt should be made to avoid mixing spilled material with other chemicals or debris when cleaning up. Do not attempt to reseal any contaminated drums. Do not transport wet or damp material. For low TA levels below 80ppm you will need to use Total Alkalinity Increaser. The amount of TA + you need to add to your hot tub depends on the volume of water and how low your readings are. As a guide - a hot tub of 1,000 litres requires 18g to raise Total Alkalinity levels by 10ppm (parts per million). Improper water balance: If the water balance (pH, TA, and calcium hardness) is not maintained overall, it can cause pH levels to fluctuate. Pre-dissolve the product in a clean plastic container at a maximum rate of 100g of product per 2.2 gallons (10ls) of clean warm water. Stir well to ensure product is fully dissolved. Carefully add the resulting solution to the pool whilst the pump(s) are turned ‘on’, preferably near to the water inlets to aid distribution. Drain hot tub to the minimum mark and re-fill with fresh water to the maximum mark, this will help to dilute the excess chlorine.

Clearwater pH Minus , also known as ‘pH reducer’ is the most simple and effective way to decrease the pH of your spa water when it has surpassed the recommended level. pH minus can also be used to lower TA (Total Alkalinity) levels. Please note some areas including Scotland(post codes AB, FK, IV, KW, PA, PH, HS, KA, ZE, TR, DD, PH, PA, KY, AB, DD, KW, IV, HS), Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, will need extra carriage. We no longer ship to Jersey, Guernsey or Northern Ireland. Clearwater Clarifier contains flocculants which bind small particles of debris and algae together so that your Lay-Z-Spa filtration system can adequately remove them, resulting in clean and sparkly water. This is a very effective way of preventing your spa water from looking dull and cloudy, due to the build-up of dead algae and debris that is too small to be trapped by your filter. Even if you have treated your spa for algae using Clearwater Algaecide, it is recommended that you use the Water Clarifier to remove any residual debris. Please note: This guide is only applicable to Clearwater Chemicals. If you are using other chemicals, dosages may vary. Dosages are only approximate depending on the exact amount of water in your spa, water type, water temperature, positioning of the spa, bather load, weather etc. Lay-Z-Spa Model Please note: The table is only applicable to Clearwater® Chemicals. Dosages are only approximate and the effect of chemicals on your water can vary each time you use them, depending on the exact amount of water in your hot tub, water type, water temperature, positioning of hot tub etc. Therefore it is essential to test the water every time before you use it.Acidic sanitizer: Some types of sanitizers, such as bromine or trichlor chlorine tablets, are naturally acidic and can therefore lower the pH level over time. When you’re ready to begin mixing your chemicals, you should handle them with chemical resistant gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. It is also advised to wear tightly sealed goggles and appropriate protective clothing such as long sleeves, trousers, and closed-toed shoes that fully protect your feet from spills. You should also wash your hands after handling chemicals. If you are going away we would suggest emptying the hot tub and cleaning it so the water is not left to go stagnant. Do not re-fill until you return from your trip. pH minus GranulesThe ideal pool pH levels are between 7.2 – 7.6, promoting bather comfort, optimum chemical efficiency and protection of pool plant equipment. Test the pH of your pool water if it is above 7.6, use pH Minus to lower it. The pH level is an important aspect of your pool water testing and we have a range of both pH Plus and pH Minus granules on offer to maintain the balance of your pool water.

pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is and the ideal range for hot tubs is between 7.2 and 7.6. Balanced pH is necessary for other chemicals to work properly and imbalanced pH levels can impact your hot tub components and cause skin irritation.Because of its amphoteric nature (i.e., acts as both an acid or a base), water does not always remain as \(H_2O\) molecules. In fact, two water molecules react to form hydronium and hydroxide ions: Our Pool Chemicals are sourced from our UK supplier Complete Pool Controls Ltd and are of the highest quality.
