Hotspring has been successful with their setup with the exception of the ACE cell going out on average every two years if I recall correctly. It would be nice if other hot tub manufactures would offer salt water spas to customers. I can image that a lot of people prefer these over chlorine and bromine.

There is more manufacturers coming on-board as soon as next year, they simply can't ignore the fact that people who are offering it are kicking the crap out of competition assuming its sold/serviced/and the customer is properly informed. I can't believe the people out their that "fight" that fact, it's crazy....in general 3-4% of the population in the United States owns a Hot Tub and it's not like that number has grown in the last 20 years, so how do you open up to a broader spectrum of customers? ummm how about innovating something once in awhile and that is exactly what salt does, it brings new buyers onto the market who never even considered a spa before, and I have 3 solid years of numbers that back up that statement, currently 65% of our hot tubs that go out for delivery get a salt system....I don't need Warren Buffets business acumen to realize that is a very positive sign now and moving forward.

I knew this method had its draw backs. After having a year to decide on which sanitation method to go with. I have decided that I am definitely going with a chlorine generator. This method seems to offer a more simplistic means of keeping things in check.

You should sit on the board for some of these manufacturers. They've got their heads up their you know what. This is an excellent observation which I believe to be true. That is why I have to decided to go ahead and purchase a chlorine generator when I get my spa. If I'm willing to pay $13,000 for a spa, I want to enjoy it the way I see fit.

You're welcome Bud. Let us know when you switch over to a chlorine generator. I'm sure it will work out just fine for you.
