When we had our pool put in about 2 years ago, based on recommendations here, we converted our hot tub to use salt with a SWG. I also replaced our aging spa pack and heater element with - SpaGuts brand SGVS501Z Spa Controller Kit w/ VL200 Topside, 5.5KW
Almost exactly 1 year after we were having issues with the spa tripping the breaker. I sent it in for warranty work and it took them over 6 months to get back to me and they said "The heater is shorted. There are lots of rust and corrosion damage in the heater assembly (see attachment). Chemical damage to the heater is NOT covered under warranty. A new replacement heater assembly kit is recommended for $199.95, labor for installation/testing is $75.00, and return shipping/handling fee is $27.00."
So, I'm wondering if there is a heater that is recommended for spa's/hot tubs that is good to use with salt.
