Borate has many positive functions for both pool and hot tub water. A PH buffer, borate stabilizes both PH and alkalinity without affecting the other levels in the water. Borate helps lessen maintenance for pool and hot tub owners, allowing them to focus more on enjoying their water rather than having to constantly fix their water levels.
Both the PH and alkalinity should be balanced before the addition of borate. The addition of the compound will also assist with keeping water clear and fighting algae. Borate can resolve calcium scaling while also preventing corrosion and metal stains. Borate also works as a natural moisturizer, great for users with dry skin and eczema. SpaPure Simply Soft contains borate and is recommended for hot tub users to stabilize and soften their water, keep the water clear and increase the comfort of bathers. We at Hydra Hot Tubs & Pools sell Simply Soft at both our Fort Mill and Rock Hill location.
