Hello Everyone! I'm new to the TF web site and forum.
Last October, my wife and I purchased and Arctic Spa Summit LE with Onzen salt system. We have had one heck of a time trying to learn good hot tub chemistry partially because we thought the salt system took care of itself pretty much. Now we realize we actually have to supplement chlorine because the SWG can't keep up with the demand. And trying to keep all the other levels correct keeps it from creating much sanitizer at all.
We are considering NOT doing the salt next time we do a dump and fill and just go with the BBB method as this has been keeping the tub cleaner and easier to maintain but I still have some trouble keeping everything balanced. Thinking it might be the salt (and all the other chems I've added), we thought we might skip the salt next time.
Does anyone have any pros/cons on that train of thought?
