Arctic Spa (Spa Boy) - Anyone has?
sergey:
"being on Autopilot" - I know that maintenance still required.
The system shows that PH level or Sanitazer level are not good and if it does not correct it for a while I assume that other parameters Are not good - So i know that I need to send someone to check it .. This is how I see that ..
The more I reading about salt water hot tubs the more I think that is is a bad idea in general ... too expensive to replace broken parts .. or sensors or ONZONE parts ...
Looks like Hot Tubs are still in need of good engendering help :-)

Also, salt systems seem to have a reputation for corroding components.

Do you have direct experience with this? or is this something you read on a forum? I am genuinely curious
sergey:
I think that is it clear that salt systems will corrode more that just water+bromine or so (if nothing special done to a hot tub)
Any element of a hot tub will live less in salt water than in bromine water.
Maybe they use ceramic heater elements or ceramic pump elements ... but I do not think so .. Most likely they do not bother :)

Found another automatic solution :

It is for pools but might work for a spa ... Also there is no need to use salt. Could be just chlorine +PH level control ...
sergey:
Is there any Arctic Spa Dealers here to ask a questions about that Spa Boy ? or maybe owners of the system ?
Thanks !
