Seems to me this creates an endless loop therefore causing premature burnout of the cell? Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?I think you must since manufacturers of double-duty units would not sell them for self-destruction. However I am still confused what is difference of "fresh water" system v/s "salt water" system
I can’t explain the specifics, but ACE did produce active oxygen which is partly why ACE and ozone, while not recommended, could co-exist. The Freshwater Salt system does not produce active oxygen and is also plumbed different changing the point where the ozone is introduced into the water if installed.Long before I ever sold Hot Spring and Caldera and ever thought about salt, I would experience quicker chlorine loss on my display model spas with ozone than without.Freshwater is the water care brand by Watkins for Hot Spring and Caldera.
As a user, I could give a crap about chlorine residual. I just care about clean water. I keep my output low (cell/cartridge life is based on output level and CH, not ozone in the water.) My cell lasts longer, and my water stays clear.

My cell lasts longer, and my water stays clear. that idea seem to work in my swimming pool (where I have chlorine and ozone generator in single unit). I have only 1 season experience, but for winter I shut everything down and with 50-60F water did stay clean. In spring time I see algae showing up in the corners. So I start running pump with the generator. Theoretically I should keep chlorine level at 1, but normally the test kit would not show anything, even generator work for 7 hr a day. I add chlorine 1 time to bring it to 1, but that was it. So with no-traceable residual, the pool is crystal clear and after some brushing the algae is gone. I also have UV unit, but did not start it at the time till we start using pool this week.
