The treatment significantly reduces the amount of chlorine or bromine needed to sanitize spa water, helps to maintain pH and alkalinity, and prevents common issues like foaming and scum lines. It's especially suited to hot tub owners with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis, and to anyone looking to reduce chemical use and make maintaining a hot tub easier.","legalName":"The Spa Marvel Company Inc.","email":"info@spamarvel.com","telephone":"+1-888-400-1772","foundingDate":"1994","foundingLocation":{"@type":"Place","name":"Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"8111 Jane St","addressLocality":"Concord","addressRegion":"ON","postalCode":"L4K 4L7","addressCountry":"CA"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/#\/schema\/person\/914759727a59a54bfd1898b47a791ffc","name":"Carol Daviau","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-CA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/685608c9b646d479b7c721279ed9d164b1c1a39fb6a9b0cb4fd6185ea6a696a5?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/685608c9b646d479b7c721279ed9d164b1c1a39fb6a9b0cb4fd6185ea6a696a5?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/685608c9b646d479b7c721279ed9d164b1c1a39fb6a9b0cb4fd6185ea6a696a5?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Carol Daviau"},"url":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/author\/cdaviausympatico-ca\/"}]}},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Hot-Tub-Rash.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15155"}],"version-history":[{"count":30,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15155\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15258,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15155\/revisions\/15258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spamarvel.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
