Dear Tim,
I have been using SpaBalancer right from the start and the products have been working exactly as expected and the water in the tub is always crystal clear. I chose SpaBalancer because our kids have a sensitive skin type and typically will get reactions in heavily chlorinated public swimming pool waters. The kids have been swimming in the tub 3-4 times per week, and are often in for several hours and we have not seen any skin reactions, which is very very good!
The next best thing with SpaBalancer is that it is really super easy to use. Just pour 50-100ml of SpaBalancer in the tub once a week and occasionally after more heavy bathing I add a shot of UltraShock. On top of this I clean the filter once per week - I rotate three filter cartridges - with the filter cleaning sprayer (which is really at least as good as promised!) and soak the filters in SpaBalancer Filter Clean Classic about once per month.
I keep a detail diary of the electrical consumption, bathing times, spa settings, filter cleanings and SpaBalancer use and will be happy to share this information with anyone who might be interested in knowing how much a Novitek Olos hot tub consumes and costs in Espoo/Finland. Simply send me an sms on +358400269199 with your email address and I will contact you.
I can only say that I am very happy with the SpaBalancer and will continue using only this product.
With kind regards and keep up the good work!
