Considerations in switching to salt water (saline) to clean your hot tub
Many people are now considering switching from using chlorine to clean their hot tubs and spas to saline (salt) solutions. No need for chemicals, tenacity of swimsuits, and the eradication of algae are some immediate reasons spa owners are considering the switch. Below are a few facts to keep a hot tub consumer informed.
- A salt water system (essentially) creates its own chlorine to circulate throughout your hot tub. A chlorinator cell inspires the separation of sodium and chloride. This process culminates in the sterilization of your spa.
- Some hot tub users get an allergic reaction to chlorinated spas. This may also be the result of ancillary by-products existing in the chlorine solution. Those who are hypoallergenic or have sensitive skin may benefit from the switch.
- Kids love to submerge themselves underwater: maybe it is their sense of adventure, the excitement of the unknown, etc. In truth, saline solution is much easier on the eyes than chlorine.
- Saline systems do not come cheap. Presently, saline hot tub systems are more expensive than chlorine systems.
- Saline cleaning does not warrant as much diligence, but a hot tub owner must still occasionally add acids or base to equate the pH levels in the hot tub.
- Going "green" and becoming more aware to individual contributions to the environment is something more people are interested in today. Certainly, using saline solution rather than chlorine to clean your hot tub is a greener way to go.
