NEW 2 SWIM SPA Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 We have been advised by the retailer that sold us the swim spa to use the O-Care liquid additive once a week to keep the water "safe, soft and simple". This is a product from the Netherlands with no details as to its ingredients. It is also very expensive (which might explain the retailer's recommendation for its use). O-Care is added in addition to all of the standard spa chemicals (bromine, shock, PH balance, etc.). Does anyone use this product or understand what it actually does? I have spoken to some spa guys with a lot of experience and they say that it is an unnecessary additive but do not know the product. Any ideas?

RDspaguy Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Never heard of it, wouldn't use it. @waterbear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbear Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Read their website. They say it's a "mineral blend" but not much else. This is always a red flag for me. Minerals are often a keyword for metals like silver, copper and zinc. However, I suspect in this case it's a seqestrant since it says it reduces calcium and also a purge product since it says it helps remove biofilfm. It might also contain borate because borate does reduce sanitizer demand and that is one of the big claims this company makes for their product but that's just a guess. Do you need it? In a word, no.
