The Lixi difference is no harsh chemicals or odours. Enzymes go to work to eliminate inorganic contaminates where bacteria love to grow. Every time you get in your hot tub you're introducing foreign organics into your spa water. Contaminates like lotions, detergents, body oils and sweat become a food source for bacteria where they grow and flourish requiring balancing multiple chemicals. Lixi eliminates the need to juggle and balance the pH.
pH BALANCE
pH stands for “potential of hydrogen” and is the measure of how many hydrogen (H+) ions are present in water. The less hydrogen ions there are in the water the more acidic the water becomes. pH is measured using the pH scale where 7 is neutral, 0 is the most acidic, and 14 is the most basic (also known, confusingly, as alkaline). This scale is logarithmic and not linear; meaning that as you go from one number to the next you increase or decrease acidity by a factor of 10 and not one. (For example, water with a pH of 6.0 is 10 times more acidic than water with a pH of 7.0). Water with a pH less than 7 will wear out the equipment. Water with a pH more than 7.8 will make the water cloudier and cause scaling. Keeping the pH at an ideal level of 7.4-7.6 is best for your swimming comfort and the longevity of your tub.
Lixi maintains its own pH range regardless of the contaminants entering the water because it eliminates the contaminants without the need for pH adjusting chemicals. These enzymes bond to the contaminant that enter the water (by using naturally occurring magnetically charged technology). The contaminants are attracted to these enzymes and are captured in the filter. This action occurs whether the contaminant is acidic or alkaline. The pH level will fluctuate somewhat between 7.2-8.4, depending on the amount of daily contamination, but will usually stabilize within normal range without using any chemicals. Derived from plant enzymes it offers bathers a more natural and gentle alternative that allows you to dramatically reduce or eliminate the need for chemicals. Regular sanitizing is still necessary, especially after prolonged soaks or large groups in the tub, but the need for chemicals is drastically reduced.
