Welcome to our forum.
I'm a newbie with two questions to answer before my wife and I buy a spa.2) Any comments about the "Soft-Soak" chemical treatment system from SpaGuard. It's touted as a "Bromine-free and Chlorine-free" spa care system. My wife has very dry skin and is sensitive to typical pool/spa chemicals. The "Soft-Soak" is offered through the Coleman dealer while the Baja Spas sales associate recommended a "low level" Bromine or Chlorine system.Thanks...

On the Soft-Soak, most people who try it end up switching to Clorine or Bromine. Will your tub have Ozone, with Ozone you can get away with a lot lower level of chemicals. Most people who are sensative to chemicals are sensative to, to many chemicals. When you keep your chemical levels within guidelines most people don't have problems. Public Pools usually keep their Chemical levels higher than you need in a Hot Tub.
I'm a newbie with two questions to answer before my wife and I buy a spa.1) Any general comments about either of my brand/model choices (Coleman 461 or Baja Spas PXS-1044)? We like the PXS-1044 because of it's design, energy efficiency and "sealed" filtration system. But if this "sealed" system is so good, why don't other manufacturers also use it?2) Any comments about the "Soft-Soak" chemical treatment system from SpaGuard.

Public Pools usually keep their Chemical levels higher than you need in a Hot Tub.Where is the data that backs up the statement that most people switch to chlorine or bromine? For sensative skin, there is no better technology. People are sensative to halogens (chlorine and bromine), which are harsh chemicals, even at recommended levels. It is not significantly higher than chlorine, bromine or Nature2.
Factor in the cost of the ozonator. Factor in the fact that with a program as you described you do not have continual sanitizer residual.Done properly, chlorine is the cheapest sanitizer. If cost is the only goal go with it. 5# of chlorine costs $35.00. Add your Sea Klear. Are you claiming that is your entire annual program. No testing. No water balance.
