After-Market Salt Water Chlorine Generators?

[WuhWuzzat]

Looking to purchase a SWCG for my 2011 Jacuzzi J-280 to alleviate/lessen the daily manual chlorine dosing. Does anyone have any familiarity/experience with any of the systems out there?

Considering this unit:

Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated.

See this thread though that's about the unit you put into the spa rather than plumb inline. The principle is similar though I'm not sure how you put the inline unit into boost mode (probably some control unit for it).

UV is not an EPA approved residual sanitizer in the US and MUST be used with a primary residual sanitizer in the water if you want safe water, The ONLY sanitation that takes place is in the reaction chamber and that allow for uncontrolled bacterial growth in the majority of the pool water..The only real advantage to UV is in an indoor pool because it can be useful in controlling persistent chloramines.

While UV filtration is of some usefulness in RO drinking water systems (where the clean water sits in a holding tank) it is worthless for pools and spa, which are open systems that have a constant introduction from bacteria introduced by bathers.
