As a user, I could give a crap about chlorine residual. I just care about clean water. I keep my output low (cell/cartridge life is based on output level and CH, not ozone in the water.) My cell lasts longer, and my water stays clear.

that idea seem to work in my swimming pool (where I have chlorine and ozone generator in single unit).
I have only 1 season experience, but for winter I shut everything down and with 50-60F water did stay clean. In spring time I see algae showing up in the corners.
So I start running pump with the generator. Theoretically I should keep chlorine level at 1, but normally the test kit would not show anything, even generator work for 7 hr a day.
I add chlorine 1 time to bring it to 1, but that was it.
So with no-traceable residual, the pool is crystal clear and after some brushing the algae is gone.
I also have UV unit, but did not start it at the time till we start using pool this week.

One thing to keep in mind is that pool water is cooler than hot tub water. Things tend to grow slower in it. My only experience with ozone and salt is with ACE. I did it on my floor models and it worked. Low output, clean water, no measureable chlorine. I had a few customers try it. Even though I told them there would be no chlorine residual, they freaked out and we disconnected the ozone. YMMV.

I have ACE and Ozonator in my Envoy and love it. If you use the test strips you will not show a chlorine residual however if you use the Taylor reagents ( chem drop test) you will see the yellow indicating chlorine. There is nothing like enjoying the silky smooth clean hottub water and getting out and not smelling like chemicals!
