Well finally got my filters in. While I was waiting I was looking at a product called Silken. Has anybody used this and have any comments about it?

I am using it. The water feels less harsh I guess. Not a big deal to me, but there are others who really like the stuff.

Regards,

Bill

I think it's a water additive that is supposed to keep your sking from getting dried out.

Anyone out there using it? How much does it cost? What are the positives and negitives.

Silken is a borate that is used to buffer the water and to counteract the tendency of chlorinated water to cause dry or itchy skin. BioGuard makes it and it costs maybe $15.00 for enough to treat two tub refills.
