Hot Tub Things® pH & Alkalinity Up is a premium granular formula designed to raise both the pH and total alkalinity of spa water, restoring balance and protecting equipment.
Maintaining pH between 7.2–7.8 and total alkalinity between 80–150 ppm is critical for optimal sanitizer performance and water comfort.
Used when pH or alkalinity falls below ideal levels, this product helps prevent corrosion, scale formation, cloudy water and skin or eye irritation.
Simply add the product while circulating your spa, and re-test water parameters after circulation to ensure targets are met.
Available in convenient 1 lb and 2 lb sizes to match your spa volume and usage needs.

Wait 2–4 hours, then retest pH and total alkalinity. Adjust again if necessary.

FAQ

Q: When should I use this product?

A: Use this product when your spa test kit shows pH below 7.2 or alkalinity below 80 ppm.

Q: Will raising alkalinity also raise pH?

A: Yes — increasing alkalinity often causes a corresponding rise in pH. Always retest both parameters.

Q: How much should I add?

A: The required dose depends on spa volume and current chemistry – follow the label. Typical increases might raise alkalinity by ~10–20 ppm per appropriate dose.

Q: Can I use this if my alkalinity is fine but pH is low?

A: Yes — this product raises both, but ensure you test again and avoid overshooting alkalinity.

Q: Will this affect my sanitizer or other chemicals?

A: When used properly, it won’t interfere with your sanitizer. However, be sure your sanitizer, pH and alkalinity are all within target ranges for best performance.
