Total Alkalinity TA Values for Riptide Swim Spas

Your pool's total alkalinity (TA) value indicates what level of alkaline substances are in the water. If the TA is too low metals can corrode, your spa walls and floor may stain, the water may take a green tint, eyes may become sore, and the water may exhibit what's called pH bounce.

The chart below will help you to adjust your water to correct Total Alkalinity.
