Adding bottled sanitizers takes all of 10 seconds and you don't have to regularly clean the cell or spend the initial $1,500 for the system. Why do people act like hot tub water care is so difficult and time consuming?

Because going to the garage to get the chemicals after each and every soak, Running the clean cycle after every time I add chemicals to properly mix in the system, Shocking with Bottled chlorine every week, Replacing a Silver Ion Cartridge every 4 months at $35 bucks a wack, and having to smell the nasty chlorine and not having the smooth and silky water like I have now with the salt system.....SUCKS!!! ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! I don't ever have to worry about "Shocking my tub" I can basically forget about it for a month or better at a time and still have bath ready water right now every time. That's why....Not to mention that I'm going on 6 month old water that looks, Smells and feels as great as the water did the day I put it in....No more 3 month water changing for me....You may enjoy that maintenance schedule Sam....I don't.

My question, can I add a salt system to my Sovereign down the road, if I like and how hard is it to install, could I do it myself ? I don't think, I would want to, due to the fact , if it breaks, probably is not covered, let me know, thanks Kurt.

Hey Kurt, You can certainly install the ACE system on your 2013 Sovereign at any time yourself...The directions are very clear and simple. Installing it yourself really is easy and if you need any help....The forum is great to help answer any questions. BTW...Install takes all if 15-20 min is all. I have installed many and you can PM me if you ever needed any help.

Well yesterday I opened the cover and tested my water with regular test strips and as expected...water was good...still clear with absolutely no smells to speak of...once tested I noticed the sanitizer levels were perfect and the softness was good but like normal.. The PH and Alk has creped up and required a touch of PH down to get it back in range. That's it, so far so good. I have yet to clean my cell (Manufacture recommends every 3 months and I'm at 5 months now) so I decided to dip the cell in a PH Down solution for a 10 Min and was surprised to see no bubbles from the cleaning process. I looked down the cell and I cannot see any deposit buildup on it yet so maybe It will be more necessary as the cell gets aged with more time/use in the water. One annoying thing as this was the first time cleaning the cell and I put too much water in the PH solution bottle so when I submerged the cell I had excess spillage...so I quickly grabbed the hose to dilute the solution. Clearly a rookie mistake that won't happen again.
