Pstores

Not sure what PPD is. But I can tell you this product is awesome. I have been using it since November and it's really great. No more extra chemicals to keep water balanced. I have been using the same water and have not had to change it yet. Just put my bromine spa frog in and the moss and go. Water feels silky soft and no chemical itch. I think if you try it you'll find out what I did. It's truely the best thing for a spa you can buy. Have to run have a great night.

They said they should I was just double checking. Never hurts to double check.

What it boils down to is service and warrenty. After looking at many Brands in the Twin Cities area I bought a Marquis. Almost a Caldara. all because of the dealers. The Hot Springs Dealers I wouldn't buy a 1973 Chevy Vega from. The Marquis was local the Dealer was honest and had a great rep. The Caldara Dealer was honest also but was far away. I am very happy with my Marquis.

I want to change out my Jets. I see that most will work. But, I am wondering if I can put a nozzle in a jet that doesn't have one? One that is just a flow through.

I use it most every morning and the wife and I most every night. Thanksgiving it got overly used. I am using SpaFrog Bromine set on 3. The water is the softest I have ever felt in a tub without softing chems added. And like I said I never ave to worry about balance. No Oxidizers but I do have ozone that only comes on when tub is in soak cycle or clean cycle. It's a Marquis so it doesn't run all the time.

Are you just using the SpaNaturally Refills (moss filters) or are you also adding any sort of oxidizer such as non-chlorine shock (MPS) and if so, how much? Are you using no chlorine at all or just a smaller amount? I am just keeping my Bromine around 1 and that is it. No other chems. It stays balanced perfectly. I was fighting the PH and Alk before. Now it stays about 7.5 and Alk is 105 to 120 depending if I am using it more that once a day. Water feels great and much easier to deal with. I really love this product.

Well been anout 1 1/2 months now. This product is working just as advertised. No more messin with water chems. Just keeps humming along with perfect balance. Even after a party and we had 6 people in it for many hours. Water feels silky soft and no chem smell. I'll update again later on.

Ok, all is well. Water still feels great and I have had to use only PH decreaser and a tad of Alkalinity Increaser. Water still crystal clear and been soaking 2 hours atleast every day. I'll check back next week again.

Ouch...... That's hiigh. Some stores have it figured out and have virtual shopping. The nice part is these days everyone drop ships so no need for excess inventory. Hate to say it though the pressure of the information is really hurting the walkin shopping venues in every business. Some people are forseeing the future and adjusting thier Business model and some are not. Hate to say the ones who don't adapt to the future will not see the future. So far so good with the Spanaturally. Soaked in the tub once today and just heading for another soak. Water feels very nice. Just hope it stays that way. I did turn up the Spa frog though. to two. I see if that maintians a level around 1 PPM.

Ok review of the first soak. It was really nice compared to putting alot of startup chems in. Water is still crystal clear from last night. Used it for 2 soaking hours. 2 people 1 hour. I'll use it everyday for the next few days. for sure. Also now it holds temp much better. It was loosing temp before even on mild days. Heating elements must have had calcium build up from before. And their clean now. Temp may have dropped a degree. Not the 4 or more than before. So the cleaning did make a drastic improvement. Also it did heat up much faster. should save me some heating dollars this winter when the snow is on the ground.

Where did you get that great price. Best I could find was $147.90 for 12 Bromine and 3 Mineral in which I don't need the mineral anymore. oh well, they will keep just in case I need them. WOW look at all the chems. How big is your pool? And tey look like all kinds of different ones. I am tring to just stay with Bromine, Moss, and PH Decreaser.

I buy most things locally. All of my chems and filters I buy from local store. I like to support them. I know I can get most things much cheaper online. Although I did buy the 15 pack of the cartridges online for a $100.00 cheaper then the quote I got from the store. Wished they would open an online store to increase sales therefore lowering prices. Seems to be competative these days one must run a online store and a real one. About the only way to survive in these markets. Business owners need adjust thier business models and think Global vs Local. Relying on just ocal sales from a store holds down volume and drives your sales percent up therefore pricing yo out of the market. But, I'll still try to buy local even though it costs abit more just for thier support.

I tried to keep the Bromine on the test strip about 2 to 4 shooting for 3. Not sure about enough oxidizer or not my water was always very clean till the last week and my TDS was almost maxed out. The reason I want to leave the Bromine cartridge on 1 is that I don't want the bromine levels much above 1 if at all. Therefore yes it should last much longer. As to before as I had kept my levels around 3. I am not going to be useing any Oxidizer for this test. Just keep the Bromine levels at about 1 and see what happens. Just got back from the Spa store for water analysis to varify my results. Bromine at .3 from the tub drian and fill today. I added ever so slight amont of Bromine Concentrate to bring it to 1 ppm. I don't want to bleach the moss. Added the moss and here we go. Saturation = .7 TDS = 200 Bromine= .3 raised it to 1ppm Alkalinity = 213 Hardness = 264 PH = 7.8 lowered it to 7.3 I did not use any thing but PH Decreaser, some Bromine, and the moss in the tub. Tub is at 104.7 degrees according to the thermometer. It will stay turned up as far as it will go through out the winter. I will not be using any stain and scale remover, oxidizer, or any other chemical as far as I can help it. So it was the official start today....

I also for got looking through my past notes I was using 3 Tbsp SpaGuard Stain and Scale Remover and 1 Tbsp SpaGuard Clarifier. Now, I not going to use either of these. Should about do it. I am going for a water analysis today to make sure the Bromine PPM is about 1 PPM before adding the Moss. Had to drain and refill more this morning. Hopefully I can get the Bomine Levels down as per the instructions.

I was using SpaGuard Spa Shock Oxidizer Non-Chlorine. I was also using the green Bromine which lasted 5 weeks. Now I got a great deal on the yellow and is suppose to last 2 to 4 weeks instead of the green for 4 to 6 weeks. So, if it lasts longer than 4 weeks that would be good. Sorry, I can't directly compare. Or, I could go get a Green for fun though. Maybe I will for a direct comparison. Shocked once to twice a week 3 Tbsp. Also had to used Alkalinity Increaser (SpaGuard Balancer) every other week and that varied on quanity. And usually 1 Tsp PH decreaser once a week. 2 people in the tub and for 1/2 hour each soak. On weekend tub gets used twice a day. And atleast 3 days a week durung the week. Almost forgot also using the spa frog mineral cartrigde set at 4 almost out at 3 months. Plan to eliminate that all together. They run about $28 at the store. I drained about 60% of the water out tonight to get the Bromine levels down. May have to drain again tomarrow. Directions stated about 1 ppm so I am shooting for that. I's have to see if what the levels are in the morning and decide.

After rereading the directions I should have set the bomine at 1 ppm. Dealer had suggested the 2 Tbs plus 2 Tsp before adding the moss. I will have to get the PPM down before adding the moss. Maybe drain some water tomarrow to speed the process up. I will keep the tub at 104 and it will be used about 6 to 8 times a week. And will keep the bromine around 1 part ppm. Not 1 to 2 like I stated earlier. Any other questions?

Ok, just got back from te Hot Tub store for water analysis. PH 7.5 Alkalinity 219 Hardness 279 No Bromine or chlorine. Next I will be adding 2 Tbs Spaguard PH Decreaser, and 2 Tbs, 2 tsp Spaguard Bominating Concentrate. I will add the Moss in the morning. And set my Inline Spa Frog Bromine at setting 1 instead of 4. I will keep my Bromine levels around 1 and no higher than 2. Instead of 2 to 4. The big thing will be to see if my ph stays more inline and I don't have to use the stain and scale. And I can go with a lower bromine level. And yes I looked into the Flush they are the same.

Maquis Reward used about 9 months total. I bought it used from a good Dealer. They used it about 6 months and me about 3 months. Well just an update. I cleaned with Spa Purge and Dishwasher Detergent for 24 hours. Ran jets and kept the temp at 104. Some slime not to much. Drained Tub. Next using the Spanaturally Spa Flush I refilled and brought up to 96 degree and added the flush. At 4 am this morning I added 40 onces of bleach to about 400 gallons of water. Spa holds 375 gallon and I had it alittle over filled. Ran 4 cycles and after the first run had a nasty yellow, black, blueish ring. Took pics and cleaned and kept running the next 3 cycles. So, I guess atleast their flush works much better than the SpaPurge product. It was only in the tub for 13 hours compared to the Spa Purge for 24 hours. I am now drianing the tub and washing it down. Going to blow out the lines wiith garden hose. Partially fill to get out all the bleach, Spa Flush and nasties. Bring up to temp and go from there. I'll keep posting on my findings. If it works you all will know if it works or not. I am just an end user, I have no ties at all to this company. This will be a non-bias report from a consumer.

Well, I got the product to try. It seems to be working really great for the ones that are using it. I'll give a full report on it after it's up and runnning and on a continueing bases there after. Heck if it save me money and time than it's worth it. Never know till someone gives it a try.

Me too, but they used it in a very large pubilic pool not far from my house and it worked like a charm. And my spa gal says it may be possible to go a year between fills. But, she also sems skeptical. I may try it for fun and see for myself. Was just hoping others may have tried it already.

Anyone tried this product yet?? If it works as they say this will be cost effective and make things very easy.

Correct me but isn't the Spa Frog the same thing as Nature 2? Greg I think it's a different product. I believe N2 uses metals and minerals with some Bromine or chlorine. Maybe someone with abit more insight on the products will chime in soon.

I have a Marquis Reward. Would like to lower my chems and so forth. From what I have read is that Nature2 can be used with this system. I also plan on using the SpaGuard Sentry also. New to spas haven't had any issues with water the past 3 months. So, everything is good so far. But, can it be better? Thanks for any input and any help and insight provieded.

The in-home monitor won't work on the Reward. It only works on the Marquis models that use the larger 10 button control panel. There is a floating remote available for your spa that allows you to turn the jets and the lighting on and off while you're in the spa. Your spa should have an infrared port built in to the shell for that. Anyone make an aftermarket remote for it? I'd like to be able to monitor the temp most importantly from inside the house when it's -20 outside. Dealer put in the remote with the tub but your right it will not work. She is trying to find another one. Would the remote for the Radio work for the tub without a Radio?
