I am in no way passing judgement on the product, its ability to preform, its quality, etc. but rather simply conveying the dangers of the byproduct as to how it effects our parts and likely the parts of most manufacturers.

I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.

It isn't biguanide.  It's basically a super powered UV-C deal.

I'm on the fence about trying it out.  It's really pricey.  Like the old ACE Salt water Systems in Hot Spring.  But if it works... it works!

like a proprietary ozone maybe? I wonder if it's like Bullfrog's EOS system: https://www.bullfrogspas.com/eos/

Their website is full of red flags like the terms 'drinking water level' 'low chemical' etc so I'd have my doubts, but again I have no experience with it either

Naw, EOS is just a super high powered ozone and mixing chamber.  So it should be more effective than other ozone.

This essentially does what ACE claimed to do in breaking down the water to create Active oxygen.  You remember that right BFSMN?  lol.

However, this does that to Air and creates hydroxyl radicals.  Since those are incredibly reactive, it basically destroys every contaminant it touches.  However, it has a really short life in the water.

So in talking to them, they said they would want an air pump attached to some models to make it work better, depending on bather load.  The circulation pumps might not be enough.  Only in some cases.

I think it could be a great system... and as I said, I might try it.  The problem is that it is difficult to understand, which means the market is limited.

You need a small amount of chlorine to be, similar to Silk Balance and every other miracle system to be compliant with the fuzz.
