mjb:
We've been getting calls from the Spa Marvel rep., but haven't tried the product yet.
But we did have the Bio Ouster people here today and tried a sample.
Anyone out there using this product ?  If so, pro's - con's ?
Thanks,
MJB

The Wizard of Spas:
I have dealers that use it.  They like it from everything I understand.  Most people that I have talked to enjoy it. Same goes for Silk Balance.  Both have name recognition and that is really helpful.  And dealers like it as it is a unique item that they can start a customer on and have that customer needing to come back to them for long-term over-the-counter. 

Not hawking a different product here (and I don't get any $ for it anyways!) but I stopped using it b/c I can get Gentle Spa for a cheaper price and keep people on cheaper sanitization methods (basic mineral systems like N2, or simply chlorine, etc) and add the Gentle Spa and not make it costly nor complicated, but get the silky feeling from the water.  Could be something you could look into in you're walking down that sort of track. 

In reality though, if you like it - whatever it may be - and you can keep the water balanced, then do it.  I tell anyone who buys a spa the second time to stay on whatever sanitizer they use if you're doing ok b/c newer isn't necessarily better.

I've had a spa for about 4 years now. I hadn't used one for about 30 years because my skin would react to the sanitizer. I read the comment about not having to use sanitizer with Spa Marvel and that is completely untrue. However, I don't have to use nearly as much sanitizer with spa Marvel as my friend does in his tub. He doesn't use spa marvel. If I remember correctly, spamarvel removes the food that bacteria needs to live so the bacteria starve. A little bit of sanitizer is needed (I use my tub a couple times a week and have no problem keeping the reading at 1 ppm free chlorine by adding 1 tsp of dichlor each time I used the tub.)

I suffer from eczema and itch all over if the water is out of balance but I've found that spa marvel helps keep the water in balance and it's easy to use. I put a reminder in my phone to add another bottle and keep the filter clean. Easy peasy. For me, it means I can use my tub when I want and it's really low maintenance. It hasn't aggravated my eczema at all. In fact, my skin is much clearer than before I started using my spa. So, it seems to help my eczema. I also don't have to change the water nearly as often because the tDS never get that high.  I love the stuff. My two cents
