It would be a good idea to leave the spa on its regular scheduled filtration cycles, to help to keep the chlorine concentration consistent throughout the water.

The pressure from the garden hose creates a suction, which picks up the water you are draining, and then all of the water is ejected out of the larger discharge hose. This is known as the Venturi effect.

Thank you.

You absolutely can.

We didn't use an extension cord. That's one of the great things about Pump Marvel, it doesn't require electricity to power it, it uses water pressure from the garden hose to power it. Great for using in situations where you don't have electricity, or where it would be safer to not use electricity. You can see the 1 minute demo video at www.PumpMarvel.com

Hi Sharon. You keep the water on. On an electric pump, you keep the electricity on, with a water powered pump you keep the water on. Pump Marvel uses the Venturi effect. energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Venturi_effect#:~:text=The%20Venturi%20effect%20describes%20how,static%20pressure%20of%20the%20fluid.

We did. You can see us vacuum up any debris. Besides that, there really isn’t anything to clean. There is no scum or buildup or anything to remove. We followed the same steps that we do in the summer. We don’t leave the door wide open for the hose, just a crack wide enough for a hose to come through. Yes you lose a few cents of heat, but it’s negligible.

Hi. The pipe is 1” PVC conduit.

Hi Emma. You would either clean and reinstall your filter, or install a new one.

Thank you!🤗

At high levels like 30 ppm, the colour on a Taylor test kit (pictured in the video) or on test strips is unrecognizable, and it is that REALLY high reading that you wish to maintain.

I am using Pump Marvel ... I reached out to the distributor and they believe there may be a defect in my unit. I am shipping back for a replacement and will let you know. Thank you! @@TSMCPRIVATE

Hi Rich. Spa Marvel will allow you to operate your spa with significantly fewer chemicals than you would without Spa Marvel, making your hot tub experience more enjoyable and water care much easier: • Spa Marvel clears the path for sanitizers such as chlorine or bromine. This means that it will take less sanitizer to maintain the desired sanitizer readings when using Spa Marvel than when you are not. • You will need to balance your pH, alkalinity and hardness on the initial fill if necessary, and going forward you will require fewer water balance adjustments. • Spa Marvel prevents scale build up from accumulating in your plumbing, so that your equipment lasts longer and you no longer need to use stain and scale control. • Spa Marvel prevents scum lines from forming and does a fantastic job at helping to prevent and eliminate foaming. • Spa Marvel has some properties that condition your skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple, so well that people with ailments like eczema and psoriasis often find that their condition improves when using Spa Marvel.

@@TSMCPRIVATE I'm sold.. Im buying all 3 Spa marvel, clean filters every week, new filter every month.. Drain the water and refill every 2-3 months also using a x10 water filter attached to the hose... That's it.. Thanks

@@Rich-tc2lh Thank you for your business. Please send an email to Info@SpaMarvel.com with the subject line 'Info', and we will send you more information, information on where to buy, and copies of The Hot Tub Handbook and ProTips.

It’s not the water that is contaminated, it’s the plumbing that harbours the contaminants. Even brand new spas can have mould, algae, bacteria and biofilm in the plumbing. Change the water all you want, if you don’t decontaminate you can struggle forever.

At step 4 it says use a plumbing product or Purge cleaner but it doesn't seem to explain actually how you use that? What do you actually do you just pour that in the water and follow the instructions say on the bottle depending on the size of your spa for how much to put in and then you just let it run through all the Jets and if so for how long?

@@AttractionSpot There are many different plumbing cleaners/purge products on the market. Use them as per the directions on the respective packages. If you are using Spa Marvel Cleanser, the directions are to dd the bottle of Spa Marvel Cleanser to the spa water and run the jets on high-speed for 1 hour. If you have already used Spa Marvel Water Treatment in your spa, one hour will suffice for what we are doing. If you have not previously used Spa Marvel, then leave the Cleanser in for another 23 hours on the regular filtration cycles.

Pump Marvel www.PumpMarvel.com, uses water pressure from the garden hose and a built-in Venturi to create the suction. There are no moving parts.

Spa Marvel will also work. Spa Marvel is used in ponds, aquariums and birdbaths.

Hi. Thank you for your business and for your comment. There is a good video on pumpmarvel.com too. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at info@spamarvel.com. Take care.

Possibly. What are you trying to accomplish/prevent/achieve in doing so?

@@TSMCPRIVATE I am looking for something for my bath to filter the water so I can take baths again. We live in an Apt that does not have a whole house filter. The water here sucks something fierce too.

@@swordfish00007 The filter has standard garden-hose threads on it, so if you can get a garden hose on the spigot of the tub and allow the water to flow through the filter, than that would work. One of our team-members hooked an X10 Filter up to the shower head to remove iron from the water that was affecting the colouring of her hair.

@@TSMCPRIVATE Does this remove other contaminants besides iron because we have terrible water here in California. I am looking at all sorts of contaminants etc.

@@swordfish00007 It does. It will remove and/or reduce all kinds of things including iron, lead, mercury, aluminum, calcium, pesticides, copper, chlorine and chloramines. You can see more at www.X10Filter.com

It can. Spa Marvel Water Treatment is so safe that people use it in aquariums and it will improve the aquatic environment for the fish, so having it drain on the lawn is not an issue. Spa Marvel Cleanser is detergent-based, and while it would probably be best to not use the waste water with Cleanser in it to water freshly potted orchids, it is so diluted that draining it on the lawn has never shown any detrimental effects to the grass or surrounding plants. If you have any other questions, or would like more information on Spa Marvel, please contact us at info@spamarvel.com.

Pump Marvel is great in areas where you can't get electricity to, or where you would prefer not to use electricity. It also performs when other pumps have lost their prime (if they get picked up or tip over when there isn't much water left in the vessel being drained) because it doesn't need to be primed. When running a pump, water is more expensive than electricity, but it is still inexpensive. In North America, water costs about 1.5 cents a gallon (including the sewer charge), so it will cost about $2 to drain a 400 gallon hot tub with Pump Marvel. The time that Pump Marvel saves is well worth the $2. Go to www.pumpmarvel.com and you can see other applications of the Pump, which is a tool that every home should have.

truehate101 a 3 way valance or coupler will not create the pressure needed to pump the water. This is not a siphon, it is a pump and will move water up to 20’ high.

john doe you are absolutely correct. Which means that Pump Marvel is waaaay more efficient.

yep 4 times more efficient

Doug Shelton thank you for your business and for your feedback!

Doug, thank you for your business and for your feedback.

Thanks Rob. Water pressure, the Venturi effect and vacuum. These three simple principles are what make Pump Marvel work. Pump Marvel is a pump that uses pressure from a garden hose rather than electricity to pump water. While not intended to outperform the speed of electric submersible pumps, Pump Marvel is great in situations where you can’t use electricity (Pump Marvel recently saved one person’s basement from flooding when the power was out and the sump pump wasn’t running), or in areas where, for safety reasons, it may be preferred not to mix water and electricity, such as draining hot tubs and taking the water off of winter pool covers. Pump Marvel is $49.99 and includes a 12’ expandable 1 ¼” (sump pump) discharge hose that is much easier to store than traditional hoses. Pump Marvel will also accept a 1 ½” pool hose. Every gallon of hose water that enters Pump Marvel can suck up as much as 3 additional gallons from the vessel being drained, and eject 4 gallons out of the discharge hose. Pump Marvel is Not a Siphon, it is a True Pump: • It doesn’t lose its prime. • It can lift discharge water up to 20’ high. • Pump Marvel drains 13 times faster than siphoning or draining with a garden hose. Pump Marvel Outperforms Traditional Submersible Pumps: • It drains water down to 1/8”, so you don’t have to worry about manually removing the other 2”-3” that a submersible pump leaves behind. No more getting into your hot tub to bail out the last few inches of water left behind after draining. • It won’t burn out if run dry. • Has no moving parts to wear out. • Made of high strength PVC, Pump Marvel is virtually indestructible and will last forever. • If there is debris in the water that is being drained, i.e. leaves in the water on the top of a pool cover, the debris will not block the intake as long as Pump Marvel is positioned flat on the bottom, a feat that can be easily managed by one person by using a standard pool pole that attaches to the top of Pump Marvel. Traditional submersible pumps have an intake screen that can rapidly become clogged with small debris, causing the pump to quit working and even burn out. • Pump Marvel is great in situations where there is shallow water to move. For example, if you had a leak in a basement, Pump Marvel can keep the water at bay leaving a little as 1/8” behind. Without Pump Marvel you would need to use a Shop Vac and continually be vacuuming water up until the source of the leak was stopped. The benefit of Pump Marvel is that you can turn it on and leave it alone, freeing you up to do other things (like find the source of the leak). • A 1” PVC pipe up to 4’ long can fit into the bottom of Pump Marvel which will allow it suck water out of confined spaces, such as sump holes, washing machines and aquariums. • Pump Marvel doesn’t require electricity. If the power goes out then your sump pump doesn’t run. To prevent a flooded basement, use Pump Marvel. • Are you in the pool or spa service business? Pump Marvel is great for getting the last few inches of water out of an above ground pool when you are installing a new liner. And if you arrive at a service call to find that there is no electricity available to run your pump and the homeowner is not at home, use Pump Marvel to complete the job so that you don’t have to reschedule. • In many applications, such as removing water from a pool cover or draining a spa, Pump Marvel is safer than an electric pump because you are not mixing electricity with water. Multiple Uses • Draining spas and hot tubs. • Safely removing all of the water from pool covers. • Preventing flooded basements during a power outage. • Removing unwanted water from construction sites, flat roofs, patios, lawns, washing machines, dishwashers. • Effortlessly bail boats. • Emptying blow-up pools, kiddie pools, fountains and koi ponds. • Pump Marvel simply pumps water out!
