SpaPure Simply Soft | Borate Spa Water Softener

• 1 x SpaPure Simply Soft (resealable container, granular)

• Silky-soft water — conditions the water so it feels noticeably softer to soak in
• Gentler on skin and eyes — reduces irritation and leaves skin feeling moisturized
• pH neutral — won't upset your chemical balance when you add it
• Buffers pH — borates help hold pH steady, so you adjust it less often
• Reduces chlorine demand — helps your sanitizer go further
• Long-lasting — one application typically lasts between drain-and-refill cycles

Simply Soft introduces borates into the water. Borates are best known as a pH buffer — they resist the upward pH drift that hot, aerated spa water is prone to, which is why treated water holds its balance longer and needs fewer pH adjustments. That same chemistry gives the water its soft, conditioned feel and helps reduce the eye and skin irritation that comes with water that's out of balance.

Because the product is pH neutral, adding it doesn't spike or crash your readings — it works in the background alongside whatever sanitizer you already run. And unlike weekly additives, borates stay in the water, so a single dose keeps working for the life of that fill.

Pro Tip: Watch how much pH Up and pH Down you reach for after a Simply Soft dose. Because borates buffer pH, most owners find they adjust pH far less often — that's the product quietly saving you time and chemicals between water changes.

First, adjust your water balance to the proper ranges: pH 7.2–7.6, total alkalinity 100–120 ppm, and calcium hardness 150–250 ppm. Then broadcast Simply Soft over the entire surface of the water with the circulation system running.

1. Initial dose: Add 6 ounces (3/4 cup) per 200 gallons of water directly to the spa with the pump running. In most spas, this single dose lasts between draining and refilling.
2. Top-offs: If your spa needs water added more than twice between complete drain-and-refills, add 6 ounces per 200 gallons monthly to maintain the effect.

Pro Tip: Add Simply Soft right after a fresh fill, once the water is balanced. Dosing at the start of a water-change cycle means you enjoy soft, conditioned water the entire time that fill is in the spa. And don't worry if the granules clump or stiffen in the container — that's normal and doesn't affect performance.

• Brand: SpaPure
• Product Type: Borate water conditioner / softener (pH neutral)
• Form: Granular
• Active Ingredients: Borates (sodium tetraborate / borax pentahydrate)
• Initial Dosage: 6 oz (3/4 cup) per 200 gallons
• Re-dosing: 6 oz per 200 gallons monthly, only if water is topped off more than twice between drains
• Longevity: One application typically lasts an entire drain-and-refill cycle
• Effect on pH: pH neutral; buffers pH to reduce drift
• System: Compatible with all sanitizer systems (chlorine, bromine, salt, mineral)

Simply Soft is compatible with every common sanitizer system — chlorine, bromine, salt, and mineral programs alike. Since it's pH neutral and works as a conditioner rather than a sanitizer, it layers cleanly on top of your existing routine without changing how you sanitize.

It pairs naturally with your pH and alkalinity balancers (used to get the water in range before dosing) and with SpaPure test strips for confirming your balance. Think of it as the comfort-and-stability layer that sits alongside the products doing the sanitizing.
