In effort to achieve what feels like crisp clean water beyond the first few days I have been looking a SPAMOSS. Does any one have any experience with this product?

First I've heard of it.

Why not give it a try and let us know the results?

Thanks.

I am going to when summer breaks. Its tuff to change water in winter. Just thought someone might have allready tried it.

well fwiw, that stuff has to actually work in practice to be effective.

eg we can't fill our gas tanks with sawdust to make our cars run -

So give it a shot I reckon. No harm no foul.

yea yea you have said that twice now. I am looking for info prior to doing like I said in my previous post. I thought that maybe at this forum I might find some one who has been their and done that if it is OK.

Lol I think you misunderstood my take ... I wasn't commenting re your comments, but the copied sales info you posted. I'm always a bit skeptical about claims made by manufacturers for magic water goo!

So, don't think I was being critical of you at all - sorry it came out that way... I really would like to get your feedback on using it.

Cheers and Thanks!

Thanks. I have looked at this spagnum moss and it may be something. In europe it is used a wound dressing because of its anti-bactirial properties. I used the sales pitch stuff because it was consise. I am actually looking for two things. Any experience with this and discussion on new stuff for SPA's. If you have ever been to northern MI lakes were their is large amounts of spagnum moss the lakes are just gourgous. Always remember, nature always does it first and better.

People seem to selectively forget that chlorine and arsenic are natural too

Nature doesn't always "do it better." I suggest steering clear of sales pitches, and use what actually works.
I've no experience with "Spa Moss" but am always a bit skeptical of these type products.

omg swine - come on pal... play nice. I'm skeptikkkkal like you too but you never know - some idiot may have just made something that actually works better.

I think I need to go investigate myself...

Ok well I went and looked.

For one, this is not a sanitizer, it appears to be portrayed as a 'conditioner' of sorts -

I still don't understand what it actually does.

What makes matters worse, is this health warning from wikipedia regarding sphagnum moss:
#----------------------------------
Health dangers

Sphagnum moss can potentially harbour the chronic fungal disease, sporotrichosis. Sporothrix schenckii spores enter the skin via abrasions, scratches, and small puncture wounds as a result of unprotected contact exposure to Sphagnum moss.
#----------------------------------
Perhaps I'd need a spa condom to use this stuff... dunno. Maybe by the time it gets dried out and all that that the health dangers go away because their environmental conditions have been significantly changed.

But anyway- the ONLY claim made by the manufacturer is this:

'to lower the need for chemicals in your spa'

Based on what? Beyond this statement, the rest of the site talks about compatibility with sanitizers and such, which is normal, but I still don't see the justification for the lesser need. Besides, most spas these days have ozonators on them which actually DO reduce chemical sanitizer requirements because ozone actually kills bacteria.

Perhaps I'm missing something - I'd welcome any input or redirection to the real truth about this, as I love new stuff that works. I'm not a fuddy duddy that lives and breathes old school spa crap. Anyways, that's my take for now - I remain neutral in this, until someone can provide some reasonable study or research that this stuff does work to support the company's claims - basically the same category as Pete.
