I appreciate the direction this discussion has gone. I have been perplexed by the 3 filter sales pitch and the $2,000+ value that this might add to the filtration system. The Hot Springs Rep explained that cause greater debris removal from our bodies thus requiring greater filtration during the times the jets are running. Not sure if this is pure sales talk or reality. Perhaps 3 filters have a greater surface area and can go for longer periods without cleaning?? The UltraPure system sounds superior to anything I have seen. I wonder though if the addition of UV is helpful or overkill? I also wonder what makes UltraPure better than the HotSprings ozone chamber?

Hi, I have been considering the purchase of a Meridian. Thank you for sharing your experience. Now that some time has gone by, are you still happy with your purchase?

Thank you. This was helpful. I will stress less about which brand and just make sure that it has an ozonator with a 24hr recirc pump. I am still cuirious about UV vs. Ozone and whether there is any downside?

I would like to avoid chlorine and bromine and would like to purchase a hot tub that has the best built-in sanitizer (knowing that I will still need weekly shock and an ionizer). I have spoken to reps from Jacuzzi, Hot Springs, Dimensions One, and ThermoSpas. They all seem to tell me that their brands have the best system for water purity. I am frustrated at how to get factual information. What is the best brand for water sanitation? Also, is UV better than ozone? Or, which ozonator system is the best? Which ionization cartridge system is the most effective? Which brand has the best recirculation flow rate and which is the most energy efficient? Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide.
