Nature 2 questions

(1/4) > >>

wmccall:
I'm comfortable enough in my water care routine after 14 months of spa ownership to feel that if I now give Nature2 a try I might be able to see the benefits.

(I use Dichlor with occasional MPS)

First question, who manufactures it and do they have a website so I can read their information?  

Next, it looks like your supposed to insert in inside your filter(s)  I don't think that will be possible with my design.  I'm guessing the idea of putting it in the filter is to  ensure water flow over the product.   My system has two filters and a basket inside the filter compartment to keep out the really big things.  Is it effective to just place the cartridge in this basket?  The skimmer door should keep the product in the filter compartment. ( I assume it doesn't float.

Spatech_tuo:
1) The N2 cartridges are made by Zodiac. If you read on their site that you can go with N2 and use no chlorine, don't believe it. You still will need to add a bit of chlorine. Those that try the chlorine free way inevitably have to use chlorine when their water ends up getting murky.

2) Typically you put the N2 cartridge inside the filter or the filter standpipe but if that's not feasible many do just place it in the filter basket as long as you can do so without it interfering with the basket's ability to skim.

i am opposite, i started using a similiar product to nature 2, (monarch silver cartridge) and i still use mps and chlorine...i am really questioning how well it really works, as mine cost 40 dollars a pop.  they last 4 months, but chlorine isn't that expensive for 4 months and i am basically keeping standard levels in my spa now...so i am going to go without the silver cartridge when i hit the 4 month mark and see if there is a difference.  

i am sure it helps some, but i wonder if it is worth 120 dollars a year!

anyone else try with and without a mineral/silver cartridge and see a big difference?

Gary:
I think these products are a scam. Maintain your spa the spa way without it and see what happens, nothing.

If you have a spa with a good ozone system do yourself a favor and save your the few nickels for something else.

Spatech_tuo:
The N2 cartridge (same as Monarch) is not a scam IMO but it is secondary to the sanitizer much as the ozone unit is. A price of $40 per is very steep though, as I've seen it at other places for much less at places like Dr Spa, spapartsdepot.com, poolandspas.com, etc.
