MicroSilk® Hydrotherapy FAQs

Does the water quality have to be perfect in order for this not to be a negative effect on your skin?

Although water quality is important for any hydrotherapy treatment, the unique benefits MicroSilk® offers is not dependent on water quality alone. The oxygen rich micro-bubbles, which are produced by our patented technology, are benign and beneficial. They are completely natural and are not dependent on the water quality. They are created from the ambient air and their primary purpose is to clean out and detoxify your skin’s pores. They also contribute to the increased levels of dissolved oxygen in the water. The increased dissolved oxygen in the water, created by MicroSilk®, is absorbed by the skin. The oxygen is then free to be used by the skin cells promoting the production of healthier skin. This is based on a flawed understanding of the science behind water. Poor water quality itself has the ability to produce negative effects on the skin (see Osmosis). MicroSilk® has the ability to help improve both the water quality and the skin.

Can I retro-fit my existing tub/spa with a MicroSilk® system?

At the present time, MicroSilk® systems are only available on newly manufactured spas. In the future, we may offer a retro-fit kit.

How long each day can I use the MicroSilk® system?

There are no recommended times for therapy. Many use it daily for about 20 minutes

Do you need to clean/flush the unit? How often?

We recommend any hydrotherapy spa should be cleaned at least once a month.

What is the Voltage Requirement for MicroSilk®?

240 Volt

How do you create the oxygen? Where does it come from?

Ambient air is drawn into the system through a venturi and dissolved at elevated pressures through our patented process. Although we are increasing the percentage of all ambient gases, only the oxygen can be utilized by our skin’s cells.

Will it help any skin condition?

We have received testimonials from users experiencing relief from eczema and psoriasis after using a MicroSilk® Spa

Is it Multi Speed?

No. A single speed is all that is required to create micro-bubbles.
