Welcome to our forum.
Current hotspring promotion is free ace system or 15 month interest free financing. I've been reading about the ace system and it seems to have pretty bad reviews. Seeing that the cell wears out every 3-4 years and costs $800 to replace sure doesn't seem like free to me. Any chance I can just get an additional $1000 knocked off the purchase price of the tub?How should I play this promotion to get the best deal on a tub?
Also I see that you are supposed to fill with softened water. This is totally opposite advice than what I got when I had my vanguard with ozone.
If the ace system generates chlorine from salt how would that make the water feel different? Is the chlorine level just lower than a normal tub? I'm sure people who over treat their spa water would have harsh chemical levels. Also I see that you are supposed to fill with softened water. This is totally opposite advice than what I got when I had my vanguard with ozone. I was specifically told not to use water that had been through a water softener. Was that incorrect? Is filling with soft water ok if using ozone and regular chlorine? I think fill I got the tub with soft water alone would make a huge difference in how the water feels irregardless of chemical method used.
