Lixi could be the "fixy" you're after
The Lixi® difference is no harsh chemicals or odours. Enzymes go to work to eliminate inorganic contaminates where bacteria love to grow. Every time you get in your hot tub you're introducing foreign organics into your spa water. Contaminates like lotions, detergents, body oils and sweat become a food source for bacteria where they grow and flourish requiring balancing multiple chemicals. Lixi
water chemistry matters
pH Balance
pH stands for “potential of hydrogen” and is the measure of how many hydrogen (H+) ions are present in water. The less hydrogen ions there are in the water the more acidic the water becomes. pH is measured using the pH scale where 7 is neutral, 0 is the most acidic, and 14 is the most basic (also known, confusingly, as alkaline). This scale is logarithmic and not linear; meaning that as you go from one number to the next you increase or decrease acidity by a factor of 10 and not one. (For example, water with a pH of 6.0 is 10 times more acidic than water with a pH of 7.0). Water with a pH less than 7 will wear out the equipment. Water with a pH more than 7.8 will make the water cloudier and cause scaling. Keeping the pH at an ideal level of 7.4-7.6 is best for your swimming comfort and the longevity of your tub.
Alkalinity
Total alkalinity of water is a measurement of how much acid the water can neutralize without changing the pH. As things are added to the water that could raise or lower it’s pH, alkalinity will act as a buffer and prevent sudden shifts in pH. It is measured in ppm (parts per million). The higher the ppm, the more buffering ability the water has, and the less the pH will be affected by highly acidic or basic substances being added to the water. The ideal range for alkalinity is between 80-120ppm. Water less than 80 won't buffer acids well. This results in fluctuations in pH that you constantly chase. Having it too high results in similar discomforts to the skin, cloudy water and sanitizer inefficiencies in your hot tubs, spas and pools
Experience the Lixi® difference
Lixi® maintains its own pH range regardless of the contaminants entering the water. It eliminates the contaminants without the need for pH adjusting chemicals. Enzymes bond to the contaminant that enter the water and are captured in the filter. Derived from plant enzymes it offers bathers a more natural and gentle alternative allowing you to dramatically reduce or eliminate the need for chemicals. Regular sanitizing with bromine or chlorine is still necessary, especially after prolonged soaks or large groups in the tub, but the need for chemicals is drastically reduced.
