Drop in salt water chlorinator.

edit - removed previous issue.. it was resolved.. when the electrician came to test what might be wrong (free i might add) he swapped the stero and pump plugs which are identical connections.
Im dumb, but finally got it.. back to the SWG


Good afternoon folks.
So My hot tub went down about 2 months ago.. Finally got around to diagnosing the issue, and it was the heater.. So I replaced that pain in the butt.
When I was in there I noticed (like every time im in there) the salt water generator is clogged up (needs cleaning)
It is a prozone system.. Prozone - Salt Cell, Prozone Hybrid Salt/Ozone system, w/Terminated Cable, Less Tubing and PZ784 Injector - 600007-4

That thing has been nothing but trouble.. I removed it, and just bypassed the unit... SO its out.

My question is this... for those that may have removed this item, do you just use chlorine and manage it yourself?

I want to look at the drop in generators. They seem easy to clean and I could tuck it behind my filters and it should be fine./.

Anyone use one of those? any recommended?
thanks

SWGI use a Saftron drop in SWG in my hot tub.

Maddie, I noticed that one when I was hunting for a replacement power supply (& possibly a whole new system) - the main thing I noticed is that it is made in China although it carries the same length warranty as the US made saltron mini .
I have decided it’s a possible contender once I run through all the cells I have.
@dunginhawk if you try out the Briidea model let us know how it goes.
& yes - you just use liquid chlorine to manually dose until you get a new swg. Always follow the FC/CYA Levels

Here’s my recent thread of my saltron mini experience

How long has your saltron mini controller lasted? Troubleshooting

As I sit in my spa awaiting my faulty saltron mini cell replacement I now ponder the question, “Is the problem actually my control box?” For those that are long term users of the saltron mini - how long did the controller last for you? My controller is 3 1/2 years old, my most recent cell that...
