Sodium Bromide is now BANNED in Canada and it is recommended that all "Salt" sys

" all "Salt" systems be deactivated and removed. "

I have bought an Arctic Spa with SpaBoy - Salt System - it is still Ok to have it and it is chlorine-based one.

If you are in Canada that one I believe was on the list of the ones being banned.  It’s stupid

"It’s stupid".... I Agree. I say as I light up a smoke in my asbestos covered basement...lol

I have reached out to Arctic Spa and waiting for a reply.

My Arctic Spa System (Onzen) is using chlorine.
It is not banned in Canada but works the same way as bromine-based systems.
Also, I believe that "pioneer pools" has a similar one for hot tubs.
Another thought: You probably can use bromine salt with this system too - but unofficially

It’s on the bottom of list of banned devices.

Nop ...
the list has "Arctic Pure Peak Boost Brominating Granules"

Arctic Spa sill sells salt system because it is Chlorine based.

Also, Pioneer Pools has one : https://www.pioneerfamilypools.ca/advice/benefits-salt-system/

See it now
But I 've bought the device AFTER this list was issued. No problems.
Also, I've found this info in the same doc:  "All chlorine swimming pool or spa electrolysis devices are to indicate that they are not to be used with bromide products."
I assume that they still can be used but not for bromine ...

I just think you won’t be able to buy the stuff. Stupid if you ask me
