Preheat water in spa to at least 26 degrees then, using Peroxsil395 test strip (swirl 3 times and line up with colour indicators on test vial) check and record pH and alkalinity. It is important to make the reading within 30 seconds for it to be accurate.

Adjusting the PH & Total Alkalinity with Poppits One-Step Prep
Based on the reading on the strip you can determine how much of the POPPITS ONE STEP WATER PREP to add. See the chart below for how much to add. When adding Poppits One-Step Water Prep to spa water, pour it slowly into the spa with the jets turned on.
| Alkalinity | Per 1000Ltr | Per 1500Ltr | Per 3000Ltr | Per 5000Ltr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 - 21ppm | 1 Litre (1000 ml) |
1.5 Litre (1500 ml) |
3 Litre (3000 ml) |
5 Litre (5000 ml) |
| 21 - 40ppm | 650ml | 975ml | 1.950 Litre (1950ml) |
3.25 Litre (3250ml) |
| 41 - 60ppm | 400ml | 600ml | 1.2 Litre (1200ml) |
2 Litre (2000ml) |
Circulate water for 2 – 3 hours before moving to Step 3.
NOTE: Generally, town water supply has some level of alkalinity whereas rain water (tank water) has none. Check levels again next day (please note, the strips read pH slightly lower than actual and so if reading for pH is at the lower end of the scale this is acceptable).
