What’s up with salt water and hot tubs?

Salt water offers the best hot tub water quality currently available. For those with more sensitive skin, a salt water hot tub offers a new opportunity to join the family in the hot tub.

SKIN-SOFTENING APPEAL

Unlike fresh water tubs, salt water contains a unique combination of minerals and enzymes that helps soften the skin. For maximum health benefits we suggest adding our Himalayan Pink Salt blend.

ENHANCED HYDROTHERAPY

A salt water soak has all the benefits of a regular freshwater hot tub or spa session, with an added bonus: salt water helps extract extra fluid from the skin, which helps with swollen joints and inflammation. People who suffer from arthritis can experience greater relief in a salt water hot tub.

LESS CHEMICAL USE

A key difference between salt water and fresh water tubs deals with the cleaning process. While fresh water spas require chlorine directly added to the water, salt water tubs continuously generate internal chlorine and cleaning agents through a process called electrolysis. Occasionally, it may be necessary to add supplementary chlorine granules after heavy use to allow the salt water system to catch up.

NO CHLORINE ODOR

No need to shower after hot tubbing to remove “pool smell”!

MISINFORMATION AND NEGATIVITY - WHY?

Many hot tub manufactures do not offer a Salt Water hot tub and can’t compete with the level of water quality associated with Salt Systems. Those hot tub dealers say silly things like salt systems don’t work, or don’t work at our elevation/altitude. Absolute nonsense of course, they work great! Those hot tub sellers just can’t offer Salt Water hot tubs, being exclusive dealerships without a Salt Water option!

The chlorine industry has lost a huge percentage of its users in recent years as the swimming pool industry has switched over to salt. When did you last get in a traditionally chlorinated pool? Likely a long time ago! The hot tub industry is moving in the same direction and the Chlorine industry is very concerned. Every opportunity to slander Salt Water hot tubs is taken.

Sometimes an Ozone System is touted as the alternative to Salt Water. Incorrect! Ozone may break down some oils and lotions but it is most definitely not a sanitizer. A Salt Water system actually produces Hypochlorous Acid which is recognized by the FDA as a true sanitizer. Hypochlorous Acid in a more concentrated form is used to sanitize anything from Doctors rooms to fruit. What’s interesting is that the FDA does not require rinsing before the eating of fruit sanitized this way.
