Thanks for the info d1dennis. Not what I wanted to hear. This isn't mentioned at all in the owners manual as a periodic maintenance item. $250 per replacement isn't reasonable not to mention how "non-green" it is to dispose of the entire unit every two years. Seems it should be a warranty item or at least a designed retrofit / replacement kit should be made by D1. I'll do without it.

ah, now I see on the D1 parts page - I sure hope this fits mine! $50 vs $250. "01512-44 Ozone Replacement Chip Replaceable Corona Discharge Ozone Generating Ceramic Chip (part number 01512-44). This feature eliminates the expense of replacing the entire CD Ozone generator. To maintain optimal performance of your CD Ozone generator replace this ceramic chip every year. Replacement is as simple as removing a couple of screws and unplugging three wires

I have an '04 Sarena Bay and plan to call D1 this week to learn about this but thought I would post here to get some info (or share it once I call). I have read that the ozone system that came w/ the spa has a finite lifespan - and it's apparently a lot less than the 5yrs that I've had the tub. So, does anyone know if it's serviceable or am I out $250+ for the new system ( 01565-0001 Ozone Can Assembly for Bay Collection/AFS19DT/(@Home 2010+)? I assume its pretty easy to replace the assy if one is mechanically/electrically inclined? Otherwise I can report my spa has been almost trouble free (a few jets failed/broke, the water feature is dang fragile when you have kids) and the cover that mine came with (3 section Sunstar) has been nothing but trouble - calling them this week too.

My Sunstar three section cover is sagging badly in the center section. They have sent a new center piece reinforced but it wasn't water tight and quickly mildewed inside. After sending new foam and me installing it in the cover (hard to do on a cover this size) the middle again sagged badly within days. They graciously sent me an entire new cover (but wrong color ) ... so I'll keep working w/ them. Anyone else having cover issues on their Sarena? (Mine is an '05 and came with a two section cover that was great but was torn during delivery - they replaced it with and D1 is apparently using the 3 section Sunstar cover now).
