Circulation Pump - are they truly a cost saver?

Until someone does some good studies on use of ozone in spas, how an ozonator is best used will come down to personal belief.

Thank you for your input Starlight!!

Mendo keep in mind that the flow through the chamber in a 2 speed pump system is not such "high flow" because only a portion of the flow gets diverted to the chamber.

Are you saying this is true of all makers, using the "hi flow" system....I do not know the answer...just wondered...I just spoke with a friend of mine who shared with me that in his opinion Ozone works great for the single guy or couple that travels or uses the tub more lightly....and does offer some real benefits in the aid of zanatioan.....but for a family who uses the tub alot...its effectiveness is much less benifical...

Nope - I sure ain't, but considering all the great insight gleaned from this thread I sure wouldn't consider one that doesn't.
Whether that's the case or not for a particular tub is a critical question for those who care about what they are paying for.

No. That was the point. It's 6 times more because it is moving 6 times slower. The slower you move past something, the longer you are in contact with it.
