Yes. SilkBalance will not tarnish any metal.

The formation of bubbles when the water is aerated is most often due to above normal pH (greater than 7.6) and the presence of organic matter in the water. Check the pH and correct if required.

Alternatively, foamy bubbles could be the result of soaps or detergents coming from bathing suits or shirts worn in the spa. Be sure to rinse bathing attire and your filters before entering the spa. Normal filtration cycles will eventually work to remove residual soap and detergents as long as they are not reintroduced to the water.

SilkBalance can be stored in normal ambient conditions. No special storage is required. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. If the contents freeze, simply thaw and use. Freezing will not affect the formula.

Yes, soft water can be used to fill your spa, however you do need some hardness so that the basic chemistry has a good foundation. This can range from 25 ppm – 250 ppm depending on the type of sanitizer that you use in your spa. Please contact your SilkBalance retailer or spa manufacturer for the correct hardness range or email us at watercare@SilkBalance.com

SilkBalance will NOT cause cloudy water. Cloudy water most often is caused by microbial contamination. Organic contamination comes from bathers (sweat, body oils, loose skin, cosmetic oils, etc). A sanitizer such as chlorine or bromine should be kept at 3 and 5 ppm. Four bathers using your hot tub for 20 minutes can reduce 5 ppm chlorine to zero. The chlorine must be replaced to keep the water clean and clear.

SilkBalance has no odor and actually helps to reduce odors. Make sure your sanitizer levels are kept at 3-5 ppm and let SilkBalance neutralize the smell of your sanitizer.

SilkBalance will NOT cause spots on your spa shell. If you notice a spots on the shell underwater, this is usually the result of fungi in the water. Good sanitation with chlorine will control this.

The easiest solution here is to raise the level of chlorine for a short time (super chlorinate) so that the residue will be oxidized and become colorless and end up on your filters. Usually about 10 ppm chlorine will work. Let the chlorine level fall to 3-5 ppm before you use the water (approximately 24-48 hours).

Yes. There is nothing in SilkBalance that will negatively affect the vinyl coating of soft spas. You can enjoy SilkBalance in a soft tub just as you would with an acrylic or hard-shell spa.

Water from a spa that has SilkBalance in it can safely be drained anywhere including your grass.

Regular water flushes with a garden hose or utility sink will go a long way in extending the life of your filter and helping keep your spa water cleaner. SilkBalance also helps extend the life of your filter.

For best results, we recommend chlorine granules however SilkBalance is compatible with bromine as well as alternative sanitizers such as bleach (sodium or potassium hypochlorite) and peroxide in water.
