We have a hot springs spa Grandee that we've owned for about 7 years. In that time we have gone through 4 freshwater III ozonators, usually shortly after the one year warranty is up. We are extremely frustrated with the poor construction quality and high price of the Freshwater III ozonator. The plastic fittings often just fall apart, and are especially prone to doing so when performing the recommended vinegar rinse procedure. Our dealer just shrugs and says they aren't intended to last a long time. Great!
So instead of plunking down another $375 for a new one, or ordering one for $240 on the internet, I am considering a DEL product.
Do I want to get the DEL Spa Eclipse or MCD-50?
With the Freshwater III product, you need to put the silver ion cartridge into the filter every 3 - 4 months. I saw no mention of this in the DEL literature. Does it not require this, or benefit from it? Just wondering if this is yet another component of the overpriced hot springs spa maintenance ritual that I might be able to free myself from.
Thanks for any and all advice!!
