What benefit do the infra red belts provide? Is this complicated to operate and do you have to use any specific type of salt? Thanks Erin

It is not to complicated to operate. I only use sea salt for the minerals. And the belt is believed to reduce swelling of the joints, increase blood circulation, help with arthritis and assist in weight loss.

When you buy the kit, you get a bag of salt and you only use a third of it. The salts do not get replaced often at all, not looking at box now, but only replace like about once every 6 months to year I remember reading from someone or somewhere.

You need to buy it. And it takes alot of salt at frist to get it going after that not much at all. It does a great job.

yes you do get the inhaler and a bag of salt. they tell you to use 1/2 the bag. i used the whole bag in mine. and i swear if you have any type of lung or throat problems this is amazing. after 2 or 3 weeks you can tell it works. sorta like the same effect the neti pot has, but without the hassle. and it is very heavy duty. and the salt lasts like 6 months or so before you need to change it. i bought a pink salt grinder from rural king and use that for my refill and save some cash that way.

Correct no salt.FYI - The system did not work.It was replaced by a high end commercial system installed by my well guy.I gave the other system away to someone on Amazon who wanted to try it for free�

Giant bags of salt are heavy... and that's all I can think of. We've had ours for 6 months or so, and it's done wonderfully with very little maintenance or need for additional salt, etc. After our first week figuring out how long it needs to run, checking levels, etc... it's been set and forget. Every subsequent water test has been perfect. I did ask our tech if there were any issue with salinity... He said his only concern would be generating too much chlorine. Once you adjust the run time to suit your needs, that shouldn't be a problem.

Empty out the salt and wash it out thouroughly, during the hot months the salt will get moist and not grind thru, best to just use a regular saltshaker with dried rice mixed in with the salt to absorb moisture and yu never have that problem

You can get a filter that is specifically set up for salt and not chlorine like the standard option. I personally have the standard chlorine option, but supposedly the salt water system saves money in chemicals and does not burn the eyes like chlorine can.

Yes, this will work for a salt unit. Once the membrane needs replaced I recommend upgrading to a 100GPD. Be sure to purchase a TDS meter you can check your levels regularly.

There is not salt, not sure why they said that. Defininetly no salt. By the way, this system really helps with hard water stains but keeps the minerals in the water.

This set provides a salt water pump, so yes you will need to add salt to your water. Is there a reason you would not put salt in the water? Without the salt your water will not stay clean. It's far easier than regular treating with chlorine and other chemicals. If you read the lit, it mentions that the salt content is less than that of sea water. It doesn't hurt your eyes, and is better on your skin. Whatever you decide, good luck!

No, I have found the amount of salt I add to the unit does not make a difference in the performance of the inhaler. The benefits seemed to be the same. I hope this helps.

Absolutely - that's why I bought it. However, this salt is harder than most so it takes a bit more of an effort to grind it but it's definitely worth it.

I used bags of salt from Walmart. It was Morton pool salt in the garden section. It was on sale at 3.99 a bag, about $2.oo off the regular price at the time. The amount of salt depends on the amount of water in your pool. There are charts to help you with salt amounts in the instruction manual. Also you can test and check with test strips to see if your system is working right or you need ajustments.

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. It's basically "clean" salt. For the machine you will need to use many packages.

The unit we purchased was connected with flexible lines reinforced with steel braided shields. These can be removed and the unit inverted to purge any salt scale which may build up. However, we only use ours for hand washing and have not done any maintenance to it yet. The frequency will depend on the hardness and mineral content of the water going through the unit and how much water it heats up. A soft water supply would be virtually maintenance free while very hard supply may need more frequent care. We are pleased with our unit which is over a year old now.
