Spa Water Test by Canadian Spa 4+

Dangerous guide to chemicals

After speaking to Canadian spa about getting the chemicals right in our swift current they recommended we use this app along with Canadian spa test strips. Well we have done this exactly as described with the quantities of the Canadian spa chemicals and now the alkalinity of the water is off the scale. Luckily I have tested again and the app still says add 287g of alkaline booster!!!!

Very dangerous!!!!

Easiest to use, by far!

I originally used test strips from the chemical kit where I got the spa from and always added a bit of this and that, tested for lots of things and read everything very carefully. Maybe I’m just over cautious but it took awhile for me to do the tests and decide which chemicals and how much to add for the capacity of my Niagara model. Since it was more complicated, only I did it. With the Canadian Spa app and chemicals it is SO EASY! I set which spa I had (although I think you can just plug in the capacity of your spa if not a Canadian Spa) and it tells you exactly what you need to put in for start up or whatever reading you get - in exact doses - no calculator needed! I went on holiday for a week with my family but I was able to let my parents know exactly what to do with just a simple phone call and instructions! I’m so excited and hyped about the easiness of this app I have already recommended it to several of my friends with spas!

Doesnt work

Be warned. If you use this on an iphone 11 you cannot press the buttons to indicate test strip colour, if you put in manual readings it gives you inappropriate dosages of chemicals. My wifes phone (an iphone 8) it works perfectly. So dont do what i did and put loads of chemicals in on day one and regret it..... please update app to work on more modern iphones. (Btw canadian spa excellent company so far and dont judge them on this app!)

Developer Response ,

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback around the iPhone 11, I will look into this issue. Can you provide details as to which spa you have and the readings you entered so I can diagnose the dosage issue? Or please contact Canadian spa support who can help also and feed back to me.

Edit: I can't replicate this issue on an iPhone 11. Can you please contact customer services at Canadian Spa to resolve the issue you're facing?
