Hi Sergey,
Here is a link to the reviews of actual clients we have using SpaBoy. https://www.google.com/search?q=hot%20tubs&rlz=1C5CHFA_enCA847CA847&oq=hot+tubs&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i61j0l4.1371j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&npsic=0&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=48780682,-123703936,520&tbm=lcl&rldimm=29613668449583563&phdesc=kLidXM7O2Lk&ved=2ahUKEwjI8ZeZn6PiAhUVHzQIHQu3AlkQvS4wAHoECAsQIg&rldoc=1&tbs=lrf:!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:10#lrd=0x548f4f66f0a55555:0x6935797c6f01cb,1,,,&rlfi=hd:;si:29613668449583563,y,kLidXM7O2Lk;mv:!1m2!1d49.304292399999994!2d-122.78508919999999!2m2!1d48.342377899999995!2d-124.10667540000001!3m12!1m3!1d465824.22574261023!2d-123.4458823!3d48.82333514999999!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i482!2i532!4f13.1;tbs:lrf:!2m1!1e2!2m1!1e3!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:10
I get that people don't really give much credence to what a dealer might say, but the above is what clients think.
you had a couple of questions:
1. Regarding automatic pH control. We agree that if SpaBoy adjusted the pH for you that it would be amazing and have been researching ways to do this from the get go. There are some challenges with having a vessel filled with acid somewhere under the spa, (in fact, we have been testing pH feeding systems and the current generators have this ability already onboard, but we want this to be rock solid before releasing.) Stay tuned as this is the direction we are heading and rest assured, whatever solution we come up with will be backward compatible, so all Arctics with SpaBoy will be able to add it.
2. Bromine is not allowable in in salt water generator systems in Canada, and as other posters have noted NaCl works better.
3. As for corrosion, the salt concentrations used with SpaBoy are saline, about 0.8%, same as the human body, NOT ocean water with 20 times or more salt concentration, so far less corrosive than you might think. In fact, look at the bottles of tradition chlorine or bromine and you will see on the label the skeletal hand immersed in a buck of chemicals indicating that those are very corrosive. I have seen far more damage caused by chemicals then I have ever seen with SpaBoy systems. SpaBoy manages the water in micro-doses, providing just the right amount of sanitizer, at levels far lower than in a traditional hot tub, because it is monitored. With a traditional set up, we have to assume that clients will forget and keep the levels higher. Further, when they do test they often make macro adjustments, particularly when they find the tub looking suspect because they forgot and now are playing catch up. in these cases, they often over do it, and that is corrosive. We use a sacrificial anode to reduce water corrosiveness and the electrode is designed to be replaced, like your filter, about once a year, which is really the only thing that is subject to failure due to water chemistry over time with the SpaBoy system.
