Ozone is not necessary in a hot tub but some people say it helps with the amount of chemicals needed to maintain healthy water.

Do a search on ozone here and you will see that it does get debated. My opinion is that as long as you chemically treat the water correctly you will be fine. I have an above ground pool and mostly use chlorine in it (once and a while I use Polyquat algaecide IF the algae gets out of control - I think I used it 3 times in 4 years). Ozone's effectiveness is mainly to help chlorine do it's job.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I did look into it a little last night and saw that you can take it or leave it!

Thanks again for your help.

Hey Jaymi,

As the rep for Hydropool, I can tell you that the special edition IS available with ozone.

Pretty amazing spa for the money!
