Salt water vs cholorine

(1/2) > >>

DnG:
We recently bought a hot springs pulse that has not been delivered yet. The promotion running was a feee salt water system. The reps we talked to (who were very low pressure) did not recommend the system. They said they had only sold a handful in the past couple years.

We ended up going with chlorine with the ozonator and silver ion. We got a good deal in lieu of the salt water system. Now I’m wondering if we made a mistake.

What are your thoughts on salt water systems?

Marco P:
Ive heard they can be really nice, but iirc you have to do slightly more water balancing.

In a salt generator tub, salt is used to create chlorine.

Marco P:
which then sanitizes the water. it's a bit misleading as it still uses chlorine. it produces it by i believe electrolysing the salt water.

TemptingDestiny:
The Ace Salt Water system CAN be absolutely amazing if you are taught well on how it works and how to use it.
It does create chlorine. Which saves you (depending on usage) of having to manually dose the water. Water stays cleaner, longer- because you aren't dumping all the shelf stable product in.
However, you still have to learn what setting is right for you.

On a positive note, you can always upgrade to the Ace System. You aren't required to have one or the other for the lifetime of the tub.
