Hi.....I'm installing a Raypak natural gas heater for the pool (indoor). 'Thinkin about converting the hot tub to salt water also and buying one of those plug-in salt generators for the tub. I would plumb the pool & tub to the heater with shut-offs. i would then be able to heat one or the other (not both) by adjusting the valves. The Raypak has both a spa & pool function. I really don't know much about salt/chlorine generators for spas. Am i on the right trail here? Or should I just have the pool on the heater and maintain heat for the tub with my existing whopping 5.5 kw electric heater. I don't want to do this however if it is going to cause me grief I will not proceed. Anybody out there have this setup. Really would like your comments. Thanks, Catfish.

Hi...Have an indoor pool w/ hot tub. Will be installing a Hayward natural gas boiler soon for pool. Retailer says I cannot have this boiler heat both the pool and hot tub. There is a switch that will recognize the units but he states that I cannot do the mixing thing with salt water then switching toheat the spa. This would save me $$$ as I now have to purchase an additional heater (electric 11kw) to heat the tub. Can You help me. Am I about to do the right thing.....Thanks, Ed in Winnipeg, Mb, canada
