We're on our third Hot Spring spa, currently a 2005 Jetsetter. Each model just keeps getting better. I started having some skin sensitivity after using the spa. We tried a bit of everything from closer chemistry monitoring to add in products and more frequent water changouts.
Unfortunately, the only thing that worked reliably was to stay out of the tub. Going from almost daily use to 2-3 times a month was difficult, but not as difficult as dealing with the itchies.
And then along came SilkBalance
The claims seemed a bit too good to be true. It was the type of product or system I had been looking for, but couldn't seem to find-add it once and no more chemistry monitoring. Given the current state of non use of our spa, it seemed worth a try.
I wish I could say it completely solved the problem, but not quite. Yet, it comes close, and I have high hopes for the long term. Our water feels and smells much better, and the simplicity of maintenance is a dream.
It has not been hard to get back into the habit of using the spa a few times each week - much easier than staying out.
