Calcium hardness is depends on the local water quality. It is a measure of the hardness factor of the water. Soft water tends to be low in Calcium Hardness and hard water more obviously is high. The level should be checked each time the tub is topped u or refilled. The ideal Calcium Hardness level for hot tubs is between 100 - 200mg/l.
A level lower than this could be corrosive to the equipment and a higher level could cause deposit build up on the surfaces. A pH value of 7 to 8 is recommended to be maintained for the water in the tubs.
