We switched over to SilkBalance for our hot tub 3 months ago and could not be happier. We no longer have to smell that “chemical aroma,” our water now has a “clean” and “light” scent. And even better … no more skin irritation … the water actually feels “silky” and does not leave a film on our tub … or more importantly … on our skin. SilkBalance is definitely the way to go! Hands down!
