Hotsprings Prism, saltwater question
kajtek1:
Is ozone killing chlorine last months finding?
I check the generator I am using for my swimming pool and they still sell it at https://www.intexcorp.com/products/above-ground-pools/krystal-clear-filtration-sanitation/combination-systems/krystal-clear-ozone-saltwater-system-cg-28665-110-120v-with-gfci/
I would be tempted to use 2nd the same for my hot tub.

Ozone has always killed chlorine.

Yet they've been used together for more than 20 years.
So let me rephrase the question.
When it become a problem?

The reason I stated was it was fine with ace and not freshwater because I know of dealers and users (like Doonut) that used both with the ace system. I’m pretty sure hot springs didn’t recommend it but not sure on that. I’m a Caldera dealer and when I specifically asked the engineer about using the 2 he said not too. It will oxidize the chlorine. The idea behind the freshwater system is to keep a low level of chlorine in the tub. A ozonator would oxidize that small amount.

If the system is trying to maintain a chlorine level while the ozone is in turn depleting that chlorine won't the system then continue to create chlorine which the ozonator continues to deplete...
Seems to me this creates an endless loop therefore causing premature burnout of the cell? Am I missing something?
