Thanks to Garth at spa depot for taking time to answer my questions!!
Product is 100% as advertised. Easy to install and get water balanced. Only Took 2 days to get right chemistry. Have had salt pool so used Garth’s knowledge and my experience. Started with a fresh filled spa and used chlorine to get optimum level before using the mini.
The higher the temperature the quicker chlorine burns out which means you’ll need more time than the 5 hour default but not more salt.
100% recommended product and spa depot service!!
Great product and great service
SALT CORRODES METAL. Couldn’t figure out why my heaters were suddenly lasting only 6 months. When I called the company they said you shouldn’t use this system on a hot tub that has metal components ( stainless is metal) to my knowledge most hot tubs have heaters. Most, of joy all heaters are metal. Too bad they don’t tell you. Three heaters later I figured it out. Out a ton of money and can’t return it now. Don’t make the same mistake
Thanks for writing, and I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the Saltron Mini. When used within the manufacturer's guidelines, metal components do not corrode. The primary causes of corrosion when using this system are excess water salinity (too much salt), and excess chlorine generation. We'd love the opportunity to help you set this system up to work in your hot tub. Give us a call and we'll happily go into more detail.
I am so mad that I didn't do this much sooner. Changing to salt and away from straight clorine has never been easier. A simple summation of the instructions. Fill your tub and balance the water. Then add your pool salt. Morton's pool salt for me. I had to use 6 lb of salt to get the right ppm in my HS Aria. (Get the AquaChek salt white strips for that) Drop in your Saltron Mini and turn it on. Initial setting on the Mini was 5 hours. Chlorine was low, so I had to bump up to 6. My water has been perfect for 2 weeks now. It feels so much softer and I don't itch at night. The big thing is that my wife is much happier with it! Couldn't be happier!
We have never been happier with our spot! Great product easy to install easy to use
