We just looked at a Prism from our local HS dealer a week ago, from what he told me ozone was stand on all Limelight/Highlife tubs and never mentioned any issues with ACE saltwater or freshwater salt systems. Ozone is only secondary and you always need primary sanitation.

Ace it’s fine with. Freshwater salt they don’t play well. You probably looked at a 2018 brochure? Or the salesman hasn’t been trained on freshwater salt yet. I own one and also sell them and they aren’t compatible and I’m 100% sure of this
Hottubguy:
Go on the hot spring website. Ozone is not listed as standard or even a option on highlife or limelight. It’s listed as a option on the hot spots only. If you aren’t going salt you can put a ozone system on it
d00nut:
ozone oxidizes the chlorine residual. Similar to how we use to sell it with ACE. So if you ozone on your tub, you won't find the chlorine residual, which is why the manufacturer recommends against it. You can technically put both on if you want, and it would sanitize just the same, but you won't find chlorine ever on your test strip.
I have both on my hot tub, but I don't care about test strips ;) My output is 2-3 all the time, despite having a big tub.
You'd just have to pay for both upfront, because as Hottubguy says, neither come standard anymore.

Interesting... so what is the difference between the ace and the fresh water salt? Because I specifically asked and they said it was pretty much identical chemicals but different delivery system? So why would ozone work with one but not the other? Thanks for the help! I'm glad to learn more and more.
