Can pH Plus be used the same way in pools and spas?

The answer
What to know.
Not exactly. pH Plus (pH Up) raises pH in both pools and spas, but the water volume affects how you apply it.
- Pools: The larger water volume calls for careful dosing and a longer circulation period of 2-4 hours.
- Spas: The smaller water volume and jets help disperse the chemical faster, with a shorter circulation period of 15-30 minutes.
Follow the product's directions for pool or spa use. Using the correct dose helps prevent adding too much and raising the pH too high.
