SunPurity Mineral Purifier

That sounds about right.  Chlorine does the heavy work and then goes away.  I also have an ozonator on my spa.  You will find your Sundance spa very easy to maintain.  This is a good program, if you choose to sanitize this way.  I would not suggest trying the non chlorine alternative that Nature2 promotes...it does not give anywhere near the sanitization needed.

I saw your posts on the other board.  You are in good hands under Northman and Chas.  Vermonter may even chime in when he sees the posts.

tony, Lori, and brian,                                                 :)

From what I've learned, I plan to go with the sanitanizer approach recommended by Northman.  This includes using dichlor as the main disinfectant and shock, with ozone and Nature2 ions providing continuing disinfection between uses of the tub.

I was stunned to learn that there are no scientific studies validating the use of ozone as a disinfectant for home hot tubs.  This flies in the face of the manufacturers' sales brochures which indicate that the ozonator eliminates bacteria and microorganisms.   Check your sale brochure and see what it says.

Also,  I learned that Nature2 (or their manufacturer equivalents like SunPurity) apparently not as effective as ionizer systems that supply the same silver and copper ions to the water.

I was looking at the compartment where the SunPurity fits in the other day.  There are no holes in the sides and when the pumps are not on the top of it floats above the water level so I would think it would have no flow from only the circulation pump.  My spa dealer had a regular N2 cartridge for $35 when I was there the other day.  I decided I am going to try just Dichloro and MPS this time it see how it goes.  I have been expermenting with differant combinations and so far I like EcoOne with Dichloro the best but it is to expensive.  I tried to go 2 months on one bottle but found for me I need to add it once a month like instructions say.
