Welcome to our forum.
Isn't Spa56 Diclor? I think it is. Anyway, I don't know any different about N2, seems like Voodoo to me also. Putting rocks in the filter and use less Chlorine and shock? For now I am going with it. It is like $22 for a stick which lasts 4 months supposedly. We will see.THX for the help!!I love the Nuage.
When I look at the Leisure program without the N2, it seems to be pretty close. I have not had to do anything with the PH since initial startup. Maybe N2 helps that part?!?! Bottom line as I see it, I am 3 weeks into the spa, I still am working on my original .5# jar of Spa56. I figure it will get me through a month. So for $40 for a 5# jar, that is pretty inexpensive on the chem side for the enjoyment I get from my spa! The only other product I use is Renew which is similar in price, but I only use it on the weekend (2 TBS) to shock along with 2 TBS of Spa56. I am looking at approx $100 for the year, add in a couple of N2 sticks, some filter cleaner and clarifier, we still come in at $200 tops. Cheaper than dinner and a movie for an entire year of relaxation.Enjoy the popcorn, though I don't advise eating it in the spa.
I don't know for sure at this point what the difference is with and without. Without N2, are you supposed to keep free chlorine at 3-5PPM? With N2 and the directions from my dealer, mine is at .5 or less the morning after. As an added bonus, no Chlorine smell, bleaching, or cancerous effects. The water feels 'soft' as well.Though I have not run my spa without N2 (only 3 weeks old), I have been in others without. I like the feel and look of my H20. I guess if I drop sanitizer and shock all together, I could save 100%??? Just kidding. Check the Chemical Manufacture's web site to see what they recommend without N2.
