Since then I've been taking my kids to the community Rec Center, and his skin has improved significantly. I contacted the REC Center and I was told they are using your sphagnum moss products. It was such a significant improvement that I’m convinced the sphagnum moss product has really helped him. I plan on getting a hot tub and using them throughout the year. Thank you for all your work! It is truly amazing. My son has suffered from eczema for most of his life (he’s four) and about a month ago his skin was quite bad.

The moss leaves have activity even though they are not growing. So, your concern about the moss dying in salt water isn't applicable here. We have used our moss product in salt water fish tanks in a controlled study and had great results. Please contact us if you have any other questions. Best regards, Gina Chavez Tayna,

We are having terrible troubles with PH and have tried everything. Does the moss die in Salt water? Thanks Tanya Hi

I am a Culligan salesman and I frequently treat surface water (ponds, lakes). Your work in moss has huge implications for either chemical free water treatment or drastic reduction of chemicals in water intended to be potable. If you need a pilot pond at these latitudes (southern Indiana) I'd be interested in helping. Sphagnum moss is potentially a revelation - congradulations on the hard work. Sir,

Changing your sand was a great first step toward cleaning up your pool, greatly improving filtration, and using PoolNaturally would further improve the quality of your pool water. Allow the moss up to a week to condition the water and you should see a FAC residual develop without intense shocking. Without additional information about your pool and what you are using to treat it, it is difficult to offer other specific advice. Please send more information to info@cwsnaturally.com or call us at 1-877-212-6493 and ask for Customer Service and we would be happy to assist you.

When we changed our sand this year, it looked just as you described in one of your posts. Also, it has thus far been impossible to get a free chlorine reading since opening the pool in May, even though large amounts of shock have been added (three different kinds). If I do have biofilm, would that prevent the shock from working properly? I believe I have a biofilm problem. When we changed our sand this year, it looked just as you described in one of your posts.
