Hot tub sanitation Without Chemicals

      Comments Off on Hot tub sanitation Without Chemicals

How would you like to simplify your hot tub sanitation without chemicals?

The ECOsmarte water treatment is a Non-Salt, Non-Chemical Water Sanitation system made for both swimming pools and hot tubs.  It completely eliminates the need for chlorine, bromine, monopersulfate, and other water sanitation chemicals.  It works with normal or hard water, and will reduce green scale, iron-staining, foaming and corrosion.  Because it connects directly to your hot tub’s computer control pack, ECOsmarte is completely automatic and eliminates the need for frequent chemical applications.

What is ECOsmarte?

ECOsmarte consists of two major assemblies, a control box that is mounted outside the hot tub, and an ionization chamber that is connected internally. 


The chamber has two electrodes, one made of copper, the other made of titanium.  The electrodes generate oxygen and copper ions, which destroy bacteria and viruses, as well as preventing the growth of mold. 


ECOsmarte connects to your hot tub’s computer control pack, which allows for automatic operation.  That’s one less thing for the homeowner to have to take care of.   Visit this link for a full explanation of how ECOsmarte works.

ECOsmarte can be economical, but it’s also Easy

The average cost of chemicals for a hot tub is $40 per month, or $480 per year.  That adds up to a five year total of $2400.  (Depending upon where you live and shop, your numbers may be different.)  The ECOsmarte hot tub sanitation system costs less than 5 years worth of chemicals and comes with a 5 year warranty.  ECOsmarte pays for itself in the first 5 years, and it continues to save you money in the years ahead.  

But ECOsmarte is not just about savings.  Most people don’t buy hot tubs because they are looking to save money: hydrotherapy can reduce stress, headaches, and help you sleep better. Athletes swear by hot tubs as a way to relax muscles and joints, and older people love how it eases arthritis pain.  Unfortunately, many people discover that having a hot tub forces them to become an amateur chemist, constantly measuring Chlorine or Bromine levels.

Having more time to enjoy their hot tub, instead of spending time taking care of it, is the major reason that people invest in ECOsmarte.  The real savings is in the amount of time that users save, the simplicty of use, and the ability to reduce exposure to chemicals like Chlorine. 

And just as important as the time and money savings, ECOsmarte gives you clean water. 

What about salt water sanitation?

People usually ask about salt systems for one of two reasons. The first is that they think they are getting salt water, like the ocean. That is not the case.   The second reason is because they think salt systems are an alternative to chlorine. Once again, that is not true.

The problem with salt systems is that they work by ionizing salt into Sodium and Chlorine. In other words, you add salt instead of chlorine, but the “salt cell” converts the salt into sodium and chlorine. The chlorine does the disinfection. Unfortunately, the sodium is very corrosive and has the unintended consequence of corroding metallic surfaces, such as motors and heaters.

The Jacuzzi heaters below are shown to compare a new heater (top) with an 18 month old heater that was used in a salt sanitation system.

The lifespan of a typical Jacuzzi heater is 7-10 years.  But because the salt generator chemistry is so corrosive to metal, in this case it has actually pitted the heater tube creating pinhole sized leaks:

The metal on this hot tub heater has been eaten away by the salt generator.
