Sure. I have neck and back problems and as soon as I told my salesman, he turned me away from HS to Jacuzzi. Mind you, the salesman owns a HS. Night and difference on the jets, for me. Very therapeutic. I was also floating away in all the HS I tried. I had no interest in a HS, and actually disliked the fact I couldn't stay grounded in a HS.

The family loves it!

I did get some  Sodium Bisulfate and added 1 1/2 tbsp per the Taylor guide because my PH is at around 8.0. I didn't feel comfortable having large quantities of muriatic acid around and mixed reviews about using it in spas.

Should I wait about 12 hours before going in the spa again and to get a reading?

Jacuzzi Jim:
  Probably too late, but I would leave it alone.  PH a bit high is no biggie, it will come down on it's own.  And use the spa when you want, why would you wait?

Yeah my salesman said the same thing when I bought, was hesitant to sell me anything. It's been more than a week and the level still didn't dissipate. The alkaline level went down perfectly though. I do have calcium build up at the water line, I get slightly irritated so I wanted to get it under control, and the sanitizer doesn't seem to be working as long as it's supposed to be.

Jacuzzi Jim:
 Unless your water is really messed up, I doubt you have calcium build up already.  Can you wipe it off or is it really hard and crunchy?
