Scrub the shell with the nylon brush. Spray on more vinegar mixture for stubborn deposits. Scrub around the hot tub jets, as well. For tough stains, make a paste of baking soda and a small amount of distilled water. Directly apply to the area and scrub with the brush. Use a soft, wet cloth to remove all residue. Rinse the baking soda.

I have a 2000 gals in-ground spa and I find that I have to put some baking soda in the water to adjust the alkalinity level to 80-120, according to the test kit. When my spa's water alkalinity starts dropping down to 70-80, then I spkrinkle in about 4 oz. of baking soda. That always takes my alkalinity reading up to about 100, which is perfect for my size spa. Since you have 1000 gals… Read More

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) should not be used to adjust Ph. Baking soda is a total alkalinity increaser. While this will adjust Ph, it will also raise the alkalinity of the pool far to much, and make it difficult to maintain the Ph in the future. Ignore your friends that tell you otherwise. Cutting corners by using commercial baking soda will only create more problems for you in the end. Splurge a little on the… Read More

Why does baking soda dissolve faster in hot water?
Baking soda (and all soluble solids) disolve faster in hot water because the heat makes the water molecules move faster. Therefore, they can break up the baking soda into individual ions faster: when a sodium or hydrogen atom is an the edge of a clump of baking soda, the oxygens of water molecules surround them and pull them off. That exposes a carbonate ion, which the hydrogens of water molecules surround and pull off. This… Read More
