The SpaBalancer water care consists of two main components. SpaBalancer Basic und SpaBalancer UltraShock.

SpaBalancer Basic encapsulates oils and pollutants and makes them filterable. SpaBalancer UltraShock is a new effective oxidizing agent. Together they form a highly effective cleaning system for the water in the jacuzzi.

SpaBalancer Basic

  • Consists of a special mixture of minerals and salts.
  • It encapsulates pollutants in the water.
  • The encapsulation consists of a gel that bacteria cannot penetrate.
  • The proliferation of bacteria is stopped.
  • The formation of gel increases the amount of contaminants and they can be filtered out and removed by the filters.
  • By removing even the smallest suspended particles, you obtain crystal-clear water.

Further advantages when using SpaBalancer Basic

  • It's not an oxidation process. This prevents the formation of harmful waste products such as chloramines.
  • During the oxidation of pollutants the smallest fragments remain in the water because they are not oxidizable. They fit through the filter pores and are not filtered out. They accumulate and the water becomes cloudy. SpaBalancer Basic encapsulates these ultra-small suspended particles. They can be filtered out. The water remains crystal clear.
  • SpaBalancer Basic works at any pH value.
  • The water can remain in the spa for 6 - 12 months because no chemical, harmful waste products are formed. Chlorine: Water change every two months necessary (too much cyanuric acid, too much chloramine)
  • SpaBalancer Basic is 100% skin friendly.
  • It is not corrosive and does not destroy plastics.
  • Nothing can happen with an overdose.
  • It is not a hazardous substance and cannot cause any damage. It is not a biocide.
  • It can be stored for at least 3 years.

SpaBalancer UltraShock is a very strong oxidizing agent. It has many advantages over chlorine.

  1. It does not form any harmful chloramines.
  2. It works at any pH value.
  3. SpaBalancer UltraShock is a selective oxidizing agent: it does not react with polysaccharides, can penetrate biofilms and kill bacteria in the biofilms.
  4. Bacteria cannot become resistant to SpaBalancer UltraShock.
  5. It is up to 30 times stronger than chlorine.
  6. It does not harm the skin or skin cells: SpaBalancer UltraShock cannot penetrate the skin cell barrier.
  7. SpaBalancer UltraShock is hardly degraded by the heat of the water and is therefore effective longer than chlorine in the water.
  8. It is a very strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes the pollutants to 100%, i.e. residual substances in the water are only harmless carbon dioxide, salts and oxygen.
  9. The active ingredient in SpaBalancer UltraShock is approved for the disinfection of drinking water.
  10. Deodorizing properties, i.e. odorous and flavoring substances in the water, e.g. phenols, algae or their decomposition products, are converted or not produced at all.
  11. It can be combined with chlorine. The performance of both substances is increased. Interesting for problem treatments.
  12. SpaBalancer UltraShock reliably kills bacteria, viruses, legionella, algae, fungi and mould.

Operating principle

SpaBalancer UltraShock works on the basis of chlorine dioxide. It is not chlorine. It consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms.
Oxygen atoms are very strong oxidizing agents: only they react. Therefore it is a chlorine-free disinfection based on oxygen.
One chlorine atom remains and combines in the water to sodium chloride (simple table salt).

 

Chlorine dioxide is a water-soluble gas that is explosive with an air content of 10% or more. It can therefore not be pre-produced and transported. (At least not in a sufficiently high concentration). Therefore SpaBalancer UltraShock consists of two types of chlorine, which permanently produce chlorine dioxide in the water until the chlorine is completely used up. Due to this innovation, there is always a sufficiently large amount of chlorine dioxide in the water.

Why the combination of the two products?

  • SpaBalancer Basic can lay down on the deposits in the pipes and encapsulate them in case of existing deposits and
  • SpaBalancer UltraShock is a selective oxidizing agent and therefore not ideal for oils, fats and cosmetics. SpaBalancer Basic encapsulates these substances and they can be disposed of via the filters.
  • SpaBalancer UltraShock is only effective if there is permanently at least 0.2 mg/l in the water. If the concentration drops to zero a lot of bacteria can form in a short time. When SpaBalancer Basic is in the water, the formation of bacteria is suppressed.
  • As SpaBalancer Basic is not an oxidizing agent, it only needs to be absorbed very slowly. The bacterial defence is maintained for several weeks even if no SpaBalancer UltraShock is added.

 

Both substances complement each other in an ideal way.

 

For the dosage there are water care instructions from us.

In case of problems, however, both substances can be dosed higher.

If you dose SpaBalancer Basic higher, you have to increase the filter time and clean the filters more often with filter cleaner so that no encapsulated dirt is deposited in the pipes.
