We bought our 1st Saltron Mini probably 10 years ago. In that time I have replaced the salt cell 2-3 times. Finally had to buy a new system when a diode or transistor burned out. I’d say that is very good service from it from 10 years use. The replacement salt cells are a fraction of the cost and easy to replace compared to built in OEM systems on other Hot Tubs. The shipping to Canada was quick and very reasonable. I do have to say the price has increased a lot on the salt cells and the whole system since buying the 1st one. Some of the increase could be the US $ exchange rate. I’ve recommended this system to others and bought two for people I know. Very good overall.
Replaced the timing saltiness unit after 3 years of daily function. Opened the unit to find a "blown" capacitor detached from wherever it had been sodered in place. Introducing a surge protector and reset button on the unit might lengthen its life usefulness. Just a suggestion. We are very happy with the device functionality
After dealing with frequent chemical adjustments for decades with various hot tubs, I made the decision to try the Salton mini salt water system. That was 2 years ago. After a couple of short weeks of dialing it in, I'm able to leave the house for weeks at a time and come back to perfectly balanced water, ready to enjoy.
We have another tub being delivered to our vacation home next month and the first thing I did was order this second one for that location!
If you're looking for a low-chemical, low maintenance solution, there's no better decision than ordering up a Salton mini.

Had it about a week, easy to use, no problems so far
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!!
