Step #1
Spa Marvel® Cleanser application directions
Spa Marvel® Cleanser is a fast-acting proprietary cleanser that penetrates deep
inside your spa’s plumbing and equipment, removing organic, mineral and chemical
contaminants. In brand new spas, Spa Marvel® Cleanser removes residues leftover
from the manufacturing process.
• Remove filters.
• Add one bottle of Spa Marvel® Cleanser into existing water. Run jets on high
for at least 1 hour and then allow to circulate for 23 hours. Drain, flush, clean
and thoroughly rinse the tub. Repeat before every drain and refill.
• Do not use the spa during the cleansing process.
• Clean both sides of the spa cover. If the cover is cracked or torn, we recommend
it be replaced. The inside of spa covers have been known to harbour mould and
bacteria, all of which drip from condensation through the cover back into the
spa water.
Step #2
Spa Marvel® Water Treatment application directions
• Replace the filters with new or PROPERLY cleaned filters (using a product such as
Spa Marvel® Filter Cleaner). Most spa manufacturers recommend replacing
cartridge filters annually.
• Refill the spa.
• Add one bottle of Spa Marvel® Water Treatment for up to 2000 litres (500
gallons) of spa water and heat to desired temperature. (In a new spa, add one
half bottle and the other half in six weeks.)
• Balance alkalinity (80-120) and then pH (7.2-8.2) if necessary.
• Allow spa water to circulate a minimum of 6 hours per day, and even longer
if possible.
• Properly clean the filters weekly or as needed using a product such as Spa
Marvel® Filter Cleaner.
• One bottle of Spa Marvel® lasts up to three months. When the water starts to
lose its ‘silky’ feeling, or in three months, add another bottle of Spa Marvel®
to the spa water.
• We recommend draining and replacing the spa water at least once every year.
• Spa Marvel® is not a sanitizer. The Spa Marvel Company Inc. recommends
that you follow spa water treatment as per local regulatory agency
guidelines and use sanitizer as required.
Tips
• Shower First: Showering will reduce the introduction of dirt, oils, hair products,
deodorants, makeup, perfume etc. to the spa.
• Keep the Air On: Spa Marvel® works better with air in the water. Leave the air
intakes “open” between uses to maximize Spa Marvel’s effects. It is better if you
can point the jets upwards to increase water agitation when you are not in the spa.
• Clean Your Filters: The Spa Marvel® system relies heavily on filtration. Regular
and proper cleaning of the spa’s filters using a product such as Spa Marvel®
Filter Cleaner are pivotal to the success of using Spa Marvel®.
• Maintain Water Level: Water should be at least 7 ½ centimetres (3 inches) above
filter intake. Low water levels will lead to cloudy water.
• Avoid Detergents: Bathing suits and clothing will retain detergent left over from
laundering. This detergent will dissolve in the water and create foam. To prevent
this, wash bathing attire in water without any detergent to ensure it is free of
detergent. Alternatively, don’t wear any clothing into the spa.
• Increase Circulation. Too little circulation may lead to water quality issues.
Your Questions Answered...
Spa Marvel® users should expect to enjoy clear, odour free water at all times. On
very rare occasions, some users have occasionally experienced less than perfect
water. Here are answers to those infrequently asked questions:
Foamy Water?
Almost always caused by the introduction of soaps to the spa. Clean filters, increased
circulation and time will usually correct foam problems. Shower before using the spa; ensure
that there are no detergents entering the spa from hair, skin, bathing suits, clothing etc.
Some filter cleaning products will cause foaminess. Ensure that the filters are thoroughly
rinsed after cleaning, before reinstalling.
Ask About The
All-In-One Natural
Hot Tub Treatment™
Film on Spa Walls? Spa Marvel® contains positively charged ions and your spa surface has a negative charge.
Occasionally a bond between these two charges will occur resulting in a slight film that
may develop on the spa walls. Simply wipe the surface with your hand or a cloth (rinsed
well to remove any existing detergents) to break this bond. The bonding also creates a
natural lubricant that allows your spa’s mechanical components and heaters to work better. Musty Odour?
Musty odours are typically a result of contaminants that have accumulated in the spa’s
filters or are caused by musty water that drips from the spa cover back into the tub. Properly
clean filters using a product such as Spa Marvel® Filter Cleaner, and clean the spa cover.
If odour persists, shock water with a non-chlorine shock.
Seaweed/Pond Odour?
Caused by the development of algae in the spa. Shock the water with 30 grams (2 tablespoons) of chlorine.
Cloudy or Discoloured Water?
Occasionally Spa Marvel® Cleanser has not completely removed all contaminants from
the plumbing of the spa. Spa Marvel® Water Treatment will, over a period of time,
loosen these contaminants causing them to be released into the spa water. You will now
experience better efficiency and longer life from the heater and stronger circulation from
the jets, but consequently, as the contaminants are released into the spa water you may
experience a combination of cloudy or discoloured water, major changes in pH or an odour.
In brand new spas these conditions may occur as the spa off-gasses and Spa Marvel®
removes other contaminants leftover from the manufacturing process.
To correct this, PROPERLY clean filter with a product such as Spa Marvel® Filter Cleaner.
Shock spa with a non-chlorine shock. Increase filtration cycle – Increase sanitizer level – Check
alkalinity (80 – 120), and pH (7.2 – 8.2) and manually adjust if necessary, alkalinity first,
then pH. Allow 24 hours for these steps to work, then re-clean filter.
Greenish Tint?
This is generally related to a copper and/or iron condition in your spa and/or water. Shock
the spa with 30 grams (2 tablespoons) of chlorine. Multiple treatments may be required.
Ensure that filters are kept clean. There are products available through your spa store that
aid in removing metals from the water.

it virtually eliminates foaming, chemical smells
and harshness. To me, Spa Marvel® means crystal
clean, care free water.”

bathing outfits. We would happily recommend this product

Your Authorized Retailer is:
“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.”
“It is nice not to have chemicals soaking on our skin and there
is no chlorine or bromine smell to put up with. We don’t have
the constant maintenance of monitoring the pH and alkalinity
levels. Furthermore, I pay good money for highlights in my
hair and this product doesn’t damage my hair at all. And not
only am I impressed with your product, your support is even
more impressive. I love it!”
