How to fix cloudy water in Canadian Spa Cambridge Hot Tub?

  Austin BryantAug 3, 2025
  To fix cloudy water in your Canadian Spa Hot Tub, try these steps: Perform a shock treatment with Granular Chlorine. You can also add Granular Chlorine and use a SPA-BALL. If the alkalinity is too high, add pH DOWN to adjust the total alkalinity to 80–150 p.p.m. A dirty filter can also cause cloudiness, so replace the filter. Finally, dissolved solids can be the issue, in which case you should empty and refill the spa.

  If you experience eye or skin irritation while using your Canadian Spa Hot Tub, it might be due to a pH level that is too low. In this case, add Granular Chlorine. Irritation can also result from combined chlorine caused by a high concentration of organic contaminants; to resolve this, shock the water with Granular Chlorine and add a disinfectant.

  Scale deposits in your Canadian Spa Hot Tub are likely due to a high calcium level, high pH, and high alkalinity. To address this, partially drain the hot tub, add Granular Chlorine, and correct the pH level to 7.2–7.6 and alkalinity to 80–150 p.p.m.

Why is there no chlorine/bromine reading in my Canadian Spa Cambridge?

  Robert JenkinsAug 28, 2025
  If you're not getting a chlorine or bromine reading in your Canadian Spa Hot Tub, it could be due to a high concentration of organic contaminants using up the sanitizers; add Granular Chlorine to resolve this. Alternatively, the test strips may be ineffective, so replace them at least once a year and keep them cool and out of sunlight.
