Description

SpaPure Liquid pH Plus is a fast-acting, ready-to-use liquid pH increaser that corrects low, acidic spa water. Because it's already in liquid form, there's nothing to dissolve or pre-mix — you pour it straight in and it goes right to work raising pH back into the safe range.

Low pH does real damage. When water turns acidic (below 7.2), it becomes corrosive: it eats at heater elements, pump seals, and metal fittings, degrades the spa shell over time, and stings the eyes and dries the skin of anyone who gets in. Acidic water also burns through sanitizer faster, so you spend more on chlorine or bromine while getting worse results. Since pH naturally drifts as you sanitize and use the spa, periodic correction is simply part of ownership.

Liquid pH Plus reverses that drift in minutes. Bring pH back into the 7.2–7.6 range and the water stops attacking your equipment, your sanitizer works efficiently again, and the soak feels comfortable instead of harsh — with the convenience of a simple pour.

Pro Tip: Liquid or granular — same job, your choice. Liquid pH Plus pours in and disperses instantly with no granules to settle on the shell, while granular pH Up is a more concentrated dry option. Many owners keep the liquid on hand for quick, no-fuss corrections and the fact that it can't leave undissolved product sitting on an acrylic surface.

What's in the Box
  • 1 x SpaPure Liquid pH Plus (1 pint / 16 fl oz / 473 mL, ready-to-use pour bottle)
Key Features
  • Raises low pH fast — quickly brings acidic water back into the safe 7.2–7.6 range
  • Ready to use — liquid pour formula, no mixing or dissolving
  • Protects your spa — prevents the corrosion and equipment damage acidic water causes
  • Ensures clarity and comfort — balanced pH means clearer water and gentler soaks
  • Helps your sanitizer work — chlorine and bromine perform best at proper pH
  • Universally compatible — works with all spa sanitation systems
How It Works

Liquid pH Plus neutralizes the acidity in your water, raising pH into the comfortable, non-corrosive range. Aim for a pH of 7.2–7.6, where the water is gentle on your spa and your skin and where your sanitizer does its job efficiently.

It does the same work as granular pH Up, with one practical difference: because it's already in solution, it disperses the instant it hits the water — no waiting for granules to dissolve and no risk of dry product resting on the shell. Pour it in near a return jet with the pump running and it mixes immediately. The spa can be used right after application.

Pro Tip: Balance alkalinity before pH. Total alkalinity is the buffer that holds pH steady, so if your pH keeps drifting low no matter how much pH Plus you add, the real issue is usually low alkalinity. Set alkalinity into range first with an alkalinity increaser, and you'll find pH becomes far easier to raise and keep stable.

Directions for Use

Never mix different products together in the same bottle or pail. Add this product directly to the spa water with the circulation system running. Only use when pH is below 7.2. Aim for a pH of 7.2–7.6. Always follow the bottle label for exact dosing.

  1. Turn on the circulation system.
  2. If pH is between 7.0 and 7.1, add 1/2 ounce per 100 gallons of water, pouring directly into the spa near a return jet.
  3. If pH is below 7.0, add 1 ounce per 100 gallons.
  4. The spa may be used immediately after application.
  5. Wait about 30 minutes, then retest. If pH is still below 7.2, repeat until it sits between 7.2 and 7.6.

Pro Tip: Add it slowly near a return jet, not into still water. A liquid balancer disperses best into moving water, and adding it gradually lets you sneak up on your target pH instead of overshooting into high-pH territory (which brings its own problems — scale and cloudy water). Pour, circulate, retest, repeat.

Compatibility

SpaPure Liquid pH Plus is compatible with all spa sanitation systems — chlorine, bromine, salt, mineral, and ozone. As a balancer, it's part of the foundation you maintain alongside your sanitizer, regardless of how you sanitize.

It's the liquid alternative to granular pH Up, and the counterpart to a pH decreaser (Liquid pH Minus or granular pH Down) for when pH climbs too high. It works alongside an alkalinity increaser and SpaPure test strips. Balance pH and total alkalinity before adding sanitizing and shock products. Never mix it with other chemicals in the same bottle or pail — add it directly to the spa water.

SpaPure® Brand FAQs

What is SpaPure, and who makes it?

SpaPure is a line of spa and hot tub water care products from Haviland Pool & Spa, a 100% employee-owned American manufacturer with more than 55 years of pool and spa experience. Haviland's Pool & Spa division began in 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and all SpaPure products are made in the USA.

Is SpaPure formulated specifically for spas, or is it pool chemicals in smaller bottles?

SpaPure is engineered specifically for spas and hot tubs. Spa water is a different challenge from pool water — far less volume, a much higher bather load per gallon, and hotter temperatures that accelerate everything. SpaPure's formulas are concentrated and dosed for that environment rather than scaled-down pool products.

Can I use SpaPure products with my chlorine, bromine, or salt water system?

Yes. SpaPure makes products for chlorine, bromine, and salt/mineral programs, plus balancers, shocks, clarifiers, and specialty treatments that work alongside any of them. Match the sanitizer-specific products to your system, and use the balancers and oxidizers regardless of which sanitizer you run. If you're not sure what fits your setup, a quick water test will point you to the right products.

Why buy SpaPure from an authorized dealer like Leisure Time Inc.?

Buying from an authorized dealer means you get fresh, correctly stored product — spa chemicals degrade with age and poor storage — backed by people who can actually help you use it. Leisure Time Inc. has carried spa water care for decades, and our team can match products to your specific spa and water chemistry. Chemicals sold far below market price on third-party marketplaces are often expired, mishandled, or gray-market, with no support behind them.

Why do some SpaPure products ship ground only and can't be returned by mail?

Certain spa chemicals — chlorine and bromine products, oxidizers, and some acids — are classified as hazardous materials by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Federal regulations require them to ship by ground rather than air and prohibit consumers from mailing them back. Products with this restriction are noted on the product page. If you have unopened chemicals you no longer need, you can return them in person at one of our showrooms or contact us about your options.

How do I know which SpaPure products my spa needs?

Start with a water test. Testing tells you what your water actually needs instead of guessing — which sanitizer level to adjust, whether to balance pH or alkalinity, and when to shock. You can test at home with SpaPure test strips, or bring a water sample to any Leisure Time showroom for free in-store testing and a product recommendation. You can also call us and we'll walk you through it.

About SpaPure®

SpaPure is a spa-specific water care brand made by Haviland Pool & Spa, a 100% employee-owned American company with more than 55 years in pool and spa chemistry. Haviland's Pool & Spa division began in 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as one of the early pioneers of modern pool and spa treatments, and today produces over 100 products across eight in-house brands. Because Haviland is employee-owned through an ESOP, the people who make and stand behind SpaPure have a direct stake in whether your water turns out right.

SpaPure is built specifically for spas and hot tubs — concentrated, fast-acting formulas designed for the small water volumes and high bather loads that make spa water harder to keep balanced than pool water. The line covers the full routine: sanitizing, shock and oxidation, water balance, clarifiers and enzymes, stain and scale control, and salt-system support — all proudly made in the USA.
