Thinking about getting a saltwater hot tub? well, wait. CU Here's what you need to know before making the switch. If you want to use less chlorine and you're looking for a genter soaking experience, switching to a saltwater hot tub might be a good idea. Instead of buying and adding chlorine directly to your water, you buy and add salt instead.

And when you add salt, it gets converted to chlorine by a saltwater chlorine generator. And almost any existing hot tub can become a saltwater hot tub by adding this generator. But saltwater hot tubs experience other issues like high pH levels and the systems themselves are more expensive to install and maintain. Honestly, if you want to use fewer chemicals in your hot tub, you don't need to install a saltwater system.

We recommend using a mineral system like a mineral floater or a mineral stick instead. So are you in the market for a saltwater hot tub? Let us know in the comments what you think.
