No More Eczema or Rash
|
Hello Mrs. Cunningham, "I'm a family physician in his sixties. Over the years my skin has gotten drier, and during the winter I get eczema rashes. I had to limit my use of my Olympic Hot Tub (the Bengal) to once a week or less. Any more frequently increased the itchy rash. This was a big disappointment to me because the hot tub has long been part of my stress management. When I get into the tub, the stress just melts away. The family is also the beneficiary of my better mood! |

I was in the showroom, buying some more Spa Shock, when I saw someone with this tear-shaped orange bottle. He was telling the salesperson that he used the Silk treatment weekly, and since he did, his skin was much better. Having overheard him and sensing his delight with the product, I decided to try it myself. I purged the tub and filled it with fresh water, according to the instructions. I did not use the Calcium Hardener, but did use the shock, Silk, and a bit of chlorine. Then I started using the tub daily. What is truly amazing is that my dry skin and rash have diminished dramatically. The water feels soft on my skin, and my sense is that the natural oils are not washed away as much with the softer water. I also enjoy the feel of the softer water compared to the Calcium hardened water. The further benefit is that I don't have to check the chemical balance of the tub anymore. I just trust that with weekly application of the Silk, the balance will be maintained appropriately. I've been using the Silk weekly ever since. My skin continues to be way better, and I need way less moisturizing and cortisone creams. I'm afraid I've become a true believer." Hope that's helpful. My bottle of Silk is near gone. Let me know when Warm thanks, Bruce Davis |

YIPEE! No more constant measuring and testing since we have started using "Silk Balance". The almost daily task of testing the water in our hot tub to make sure that it was just right, and determining what chemicals to add, are no longer necessary. What a relief! Since beginning the Silk Balance program, we no longer suffer from hot tub rash. We became very hesitant to use new hot tub after it was obvious that we were having reaction to the various chemicals necessary to maintain our tub. We were so desperate that we had almost decided to get rid of the hot tub. Thanks to discovering the new product on the market (Silk Balance), we can now use and enjoy our hot tub with complete confidence that we will not suffer with any itchy, red rash any more. The water has a very silky, smooth feeling when using "Silk Balance". It is almost hard to describe. While in the tub, we have a very "squeaky clean" feeling to our skin, and also to the sides of the tub interior. In other words, we are very happy to have become users of Silk Balance!

Hi Alice, A couple of weeks ago we purchased Silk Balance. I was so impressed with the testimonials we signed up for the auto ship. I have suffered with dry skin and eczema for a number of years and haven't been able to hottub much since then. My skin feels so soft and there is no dry flaky skin after drying off. It's wonderful. It is so much easier to maintain the tub.

Dear Olympic Hot Tub Company, We've been the proud owners of a Hot Springs Vanguard tub since we moved into our new house over 6 years ago, and have been very happy with both the product and your excellent service. It's been a trouble-free experience, and my wife and I as well as our teenage kids enjoy our tub regularly. However, I had to write and tell about how Silk Balance has revolutionized our tub experience. I've been pretty meticulous about keeping after the water chemistry and while it wasn't too hard, it took time and was one more thing on a long list of chores. I first used the water testing kit and later the electronic tester, which made it a bit easier, but I still found myself chasing the pH and alkalinity levels around from time to time. Then when I was in the store one day buying more supplies, the guys mentioned Silk Balance to me. It sounded good, so I bought a bottle and gave it a try. What a difference: no more hassles, no more playing chemist, just pour it weekly in and forget it. But wait - there's more! I never expected the huge change in how the water feels, so comfortable and it doesn't dry your skin out. And as a psoriasis sufferer, I can tell you that that feature alone is priceless. Thank you for continuing to evolve the tubbing and relaxation experience for us stressed-out customers! Sincerely, York Baur |

To the folks at Olympic Hottub Company My wife and I just purchased a new Jetsetter hot tub. We are using the Silkbalance water care system and we love it. We used chlorine alone in our old hot tub, and my wife had to limit her exposure to the water because her skin was quite sensitive. With the Silkbalance system, she has been able to go hot tubbing every day, and has not experienced any skin irritation or redness. The Silkbalance system really works as advertised. Now we are wondering why we went without it for the last seventeen years. Walter Livingston |

Dear Sir/Madam: Karen & George Cowan own a Hot Spring's Sovereign hot tub. They have been using SilkBalance for the last month and her daughter's eczema skin problem has gotten considerable better. In the past, Gina would break out in rashes from using the spa and Karen has been using a prescription medicine on her legs to help the rash and the itching. Gina loves using the hot tub and this new product has made it much easier for Gina to continue to use the spa w/o breaking out in rashes. The entire family, including myself, have noticed a difference in our skin from using this products. Sincerely, Karen Cowan |

Dear Alice, Thank-you...Thank-you!!! We have been hottubbing for over twenty years and believe that using SilkBalance now will enable us to continue using our spa everyday. After battling with really dry skin for over a year, we switched from regular chlorine to SilkBalance. The dry skin went away almost immediately. We hottub every morning and just love the way the water feels and smells now that we use SilkBalance.

To the folks at The Hottub Company I have been unable to use my hot tub for years as I have been affected by folliculitis every time I go into the tub. This does not affect my family, just me. The redness and itching lasts for about a week, and although the hot tub feels great, it has just not been worth the pain. I was recently introduced to the Silk product while buying supplies from your store. I followed the instructions, used the purge product before changing the water, and was more than pleasantly surprised to find out I had no reaction after enjoying my first hot tub in years. It is a great product, easy to use and very effective. I plan on using Silk going forward. Thanks, Michael Johnson |

My name is Megan Cox and I love using my parents' hot tub. However, I have had problems with dry, itchy skin after using it. Now since they've changed to SilkBalance, I enjoy the hot tub so much more! My skin feels so soft and I no longer have any itching problems. Thank you SilkBalance, for this natural product that works so well.

Hanson Hot Springs Spas, We switched to the SilkBalance water care system and were concerned about the asking price, but decided to give it a try. We greatly enjoy the benefits of the odorless formula and how it prevented our skin from becoming dry. It's also very nice not to have to measure chemicals and adjust them. We love using our Hot Springs hot tub and the SilkBalance water care system. Cordially,

SILK BALANCE IS THE BOMB! I am a first-time hot tubber and started out with the standard chemicals. We were all itchy and had dry skin. We came to Great Atlantic with our problem, and they told us about Silk Balance. I decided to try it. I’ve waited four months to be sure I was happy with it. We all love it! It’s easy! I put 4 ounces in once a week, and my water is crystal clear. The water is silky and my skin is smooth—absolutely no dry skin! I totally recommend it to everyone. Try it—make sure it works for you—it will! It’s a great product.

Dear SilkBalance My husband and I were looking as spas in October 2009. We went to Hot Springs Spa in Centerville, Ohio and talked with the Becky who was our salesperson. She recommended Silkbalance as water treatment as I have very sensitive skin. Our spa was delivered on November 30th and set up using SilkBalance. What I noticed first was the lack of unpleasant odor. I was used to the "chlorine" odor associated with spas and was pleasantly surprised to see that there was very little smell at all. I find that the water does not dry out my skin or cause cracking and redness. I use the spa almost daily to help with my fibromyaliga and neuropathy and tend to stay in at least 20-30 minutes at a time. I have had no adverse reactions or unpleasant side effects. Thank you for developing such a great product and getting it to the spa dealerships so that people with sensitive skin can get the pain relief without developing other medical conditions.

Dear Sharon c/o great Atlantic Spas I have tried Clorine, Bromine, silver the work. They all took time, testing and constant upkeep. Then, I tried Spa Balance and now have reduce my monitoring to once a week adding and shocking. It is almost like the Ronco commercial: "Set it and forget it" you "Add it and forget it." The water feels actually soft and you do not feel dry skin when you get out.

My husband of 33 years only went in the spa with me when we first filled it with fresh water and before we added the chemicals. Now, with Silk Balance, for the first time ever he can enjoy the water every day without the horrible itchy rash he usually gets from going in the spa. We love to enjoy the spa on a cold winter night where we can watch the stars and relax together.

Looky here-it's our Silk Balance testimonial! We're on our third Hot Spring spa, currently a 2005 Jet Setter. Each model just keeps getting better. A bit over a year ago, I started having some skin sensitivity after using the spa. We tried a bit of everything, from closer chemistry monitoring, to add in products and more frequent water changouts. And then along came Silk Balance. The claims seemed a bit too good to be true. It was the type of product or system I had been looking for, but couldn't seem to find--add it once and no more chemistry monitoring. Given the current state of non-use of our spa, it seemed worthy a try. I wish I could say it completely solved the problem, but not quite. Yet, it's come close, and I have high hopes for the long term. Our water feels and smells much better, and the simplicity of maintenance is a dream. It has not been hard to get back into the habit of using the spa a few times each week--much easier than staying out! We just replaced some older shock and chlorine that we had been using, ordered a new cover, and have high hopes that with Silk Balance we'll back to daily use before the spring!

My daughter and I both love the hot tub but we both have sensitive skin. It had gotten so bad for my little girl that she could no longer get in the hot tub with the rest of the family. We followed all the instructions about cleaning the tub and changing the water and keeping up with the weekly and monthly treatments but it didn’t seem to help. She would just get too itchy later in the evening. When we heard about Silk Balance we thought we would give it a try to see if helped she and I be less itchy after getting out of the tub. We were hoping that Silk Balance might help us both with our sensitive skin. After about a month we can report that it has helped significantly. While my daughters sensitive skin still bothers her occasionally after being in the hot tub she doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night crying and itching. It was so sad for her not to join us in the hot tub and now everyone is thrilled that we can spend a little time together in the evening looking at the stars while we are warm and cozy in the tub. Thanks, Neil McCarthy |
