Title: Hot Spring Highlife Non-Salt setup?
Post by: Roofspa on May 14, 2022, 04:56:40 pm

I really like the layout of the Envoy (and possibly the larger Prism), but I am unsure about running it as a salt system.  With the exception of most Hot Spring dealers / Hot Spring YouTube personalities, it seems most sales people and web discussions are quite negative on salt vs. chlorine/bromine.  In speaking with one of the two HS dealers in my area, one is all salt no exception but the other says I can run the Envoy on chlorine/bromine just the same.

Is is a mistake to get a HS spa and not run it on the salt system that is already built in?

I'm looking for ease of maintenance, and wonder if just using the frog @ease or some additives like Aquafiness or Spa Marvel enzymes will help with sanitization/softness/water quality in chlorine/bromine systems.

Thx

I find the salt system easy to take care of. Haven't needed to do anything except add a bit of salt every couple of months. I do test weekly.
