“Bromine, chlorine and other sanitizing method in pools and spas are proven to be ineffective when it comes to scrupulously clean-up your merchandise.” It came as a shock to all pool and spa owners when the shocking news came out. “Oh my GOD , what? ” you might have said to yourself. You might also get hysterical about it – asking yourself “If chlorine, bromine and any other ways can’t cut through the grime, then what will?” I know, this truth is really harsh. And it’s really acceptable for you to react to it this way.

After investing so much money in getting a contractor, building up the pool from the ground up and eventually maintaining it, you are now left with the realization that you may not essentially know how to properly care for your investment. It is ultimately scary. I mean, all this time you thought that you were doing the right thing – putting in chlorine or bromine or many other things, only to find out that they are ineffective ways to clean your pool or spa water. What a downer! What’s even worse is sitting down and actually computing every single penny or nickel that you spent in buying those chemicals. I bet you will be turning like “Oh my GOD! Are you freaking kidding me?” Yes, please do put away, throw away or burn that computation. Just don’t look at it. It’ll just spark up your anger.

So what is it that can really and most definitely clean your spa or pool? Well, surprisingly, it is a type of plant. Yup, one of GOD’s already MOST USEFUL creation ever. It’s called the Sphagnum Moss.

Sphagnum moss usually grows in the river banks of New Zealand. Extreme care and consideration is taken in when harvesting it. It is made sure that a certain percentage is left on the harvest area for re-growth. This is done in a 2 to 3 year cycle. So you can imagine how many bags and tons of sphagnum moss are harvested every cycle. Talk about bulk orders ey!

So how does it work on your pool or spa water? Well, it’s pretty neat actually. If you love drinking tea then you’ll definitely love this one. You see, the sphagnum moss is put inside these, somewhat like giant tea bags and then left to float in your pool or spa overnight. As marvelous as it appears to be, sphagnum moss is a CARNIVOROUS plant. Yup, it’s CARNIVOROUS. But don’t you worry. Sphagnum moss is only carnivorous when it comes to germs, bacteria, algae and viruses. You won’t have to worry if it’s going to eat away your flesh. (Really, did you worry? Wouldn’t that make a great movie? “MOSS ATE POOL AND SPA OWNERS!” Hmmm… I smell an Oscar coming!)Yes, they do pick on someone their own size. Well, in this scenario, it’s a good thing.

Well, there you have it. GOD’s natural gifts always beat the man-made chemicals. Isn’t it just exciting to be on the look out for more discoveries?
