PH - An ideal PH level ranging from 7.2 - 7.6 keeps the water from causing corrosion or scaling.
Free Chlorine - Chlorine must be kept at between 3-5ppm in a hot tub to prevent bacteria from growing.
Total Alkalinity - keeping this correct will stop sudden PH changes.
Cyanuric Acid (Stabiliser) - A correct stabiliser level prevents chlorine being lost to sunlight. If stabiliser builds up too high, you may experience chlorine lock, which is where the hot tub fails to build a free chlorine level due to cyanuric acid blocking this.
