What Others Have Said About Spa Marvel. A Chemical Free Alternative To Hot Tubs
“We would like to say a word of THANKS for introducing us to Spa Marvel®. We have been using Spa Marvel® for approximately one year and we find it just wonderful. We no longer have the chemical odour within our home, nor do we and our children experience skin irritations, burning eyes, choking from odour and our daughter can enjoy the tub without getting spots/rashes on her skin. Maintenance is much easier and simpler. We no longer need to drain the water from our tub every two months. With Spa Marvel®, we only need to drain and thoroughly clean our tub once a year. Spa Marvel® has made “hot tubbing” enjoyable and virtually maintenance free.”
Bill and Wanda D., Grimsby, Ontario
“We have enjoyed indoor pools and hot tubs for some thirty-five years. Little did we realize how much better Spa Marvel® could be, what with no constant battles with pH, no strong odours, no odours of chlorine and no bleached bathing outfits. We would happily recommend this product anywhere, anytime, to anyone.”
-R.B. Rodger, D.C., Port Rowan, Ontario
“Spa Marvel® is excellent. It eliminates the hassle of using chemicals everyday. We just pour one bottle in and enjoy our spa. The best thing is that it virtually eliminates foaming, chemical smells and harshness. To me, Spa Marvel® means crystal clean, care free water.”
Mike Martin, Hamilton, Ontario
