My Ozonator has failed on my Hot Springs Vanguard Spa. Will the Saltron work without an Ozone generator?

Very short answer.....Yes. The trick is to balance the spa right from the get go and it stays nice and clean all year long.

I use the Salton in my hot tub and it doesn't have an Ozone generator. I don't think you need anything special to use this. You only need a place to plug it into.

Good Day... Yes it comes with he ozonator. It helps quite a bit with the reduction of chemicals used. Good Luck.

It does work without an inpur tank. We just use the pipe and ozonator stone inclused.

From what I researched, it only generates ozone through the ionizer feature. I don't turn that part on.

I think the ozonator comes standard now, even though it's shown as a separate accessory in the manual that comes with the unit. Mine did and from what I can tell, other's across the web also have it installed from the factory.

Yes I would. It reads the salt amount and the brand name of the generator should be insignificant. I still find mine reliable and comparable with the salt readings my pool store gets.

Probably not, simply because of the timer that controls both the saltwater system and the filter at the same time. Before getting this pool we had a separate salt system and used the sand filter, but since this came with the all-in-one system we decided to try it. We haven't had any problems with the cartridge filter and haven't had to change the cartridge all summer. It has been a lot easier than trying to use the two systems.

I don't think so but, you can shut off the ionizer function which, I think shuts off the ozone production. Check the Oreck website for specifics.

Chip, I had the same problem several times. I finally registered my unit on Broan's website and included my disappointment with the issue. I was contacted the next day by their customer service department with the phone # for their service department. I called them immediately, they pulled up my information and explained that they had identified the problem and it could be easily fixed with a replacement heater and fan element. The original unit did not start fast enough and would burn the thermal fuse, the new motor started faster and therefore the thermal fuse would not blow. The fuse is part of the heater element to prevent overheating. I explained to the rep that it was -7 outside and I didn't feel like going into the attic again to replace the unit. he explained that I could replace the part fromt he inside and it was a matter of 2 screws and a wire harness. It literally took me less than 1 minute to replace the part and it has worked better than the original since. My previous ones only lasted less than 2 weeks. I was very satisfied with Broan which is more than I can say about the big box store I bought it from. The # for the technical support department at 800-637-1453. That should solve the problem.

I have had two burn out on me, one just today. The first was replaced under warranty. Hopefully they will be willing to replace this as well. Unfortunately the entire pump mechanism has to be exchanged, as there is no way to remove just the UV bulb. You can use the fountain with a burned out bulb, but it's just a drag to lose the sterilization it provides, and it means you have unnecessary surfaces to clean. Contact AVP at 775-849-4313 for replacement parts.

You would need to check the manufacturer's website. From a compatibility perspective, it's all about the lid on the reservoir, or an adaptor for the hose inlet - so that the ozone can flow through the machine, hose, and in to the compartment that holds the mask.

I suspect this would be effective even if you are rushing 8500 gallons through this device at one sitting (the longer the water is in the chamber the more assured that the bacteria is being eliminated)... I vaguely remember reading that the UV needed roughly 10 seconds to kill the spores (and therefore determining the size of the inner chamber). You should be fine but why not use salt or chlorine in the pool?

I do not find UL certification on the unit or in the manual. In a list of Ozone generators provided by independent review, it also is not on the list of Ozone generators having been tested by UL. That being said, the generator does what it claims it does and has done it well for me. Anyone knowing the health risks associated with using these units should weigh those into consideration before purchasing and using them

We have our pump and chlorine generator into one box and that is on the timer. Pool is 22000 gal filter Hayward not sure on the salt cell

I don't know. I also have a salt water pool, but the unit is time consuming for a large pool. It was easier for me just to use my vacuum.

I don't know. I bought one to install with an old Jacuzzi hot tub. My tub's jets don't create enough vacuum to suck in the ozone during normal thermal cycling. I would have had to add an external air pump to force the ozone into the tub's plumbing. My tub does have a high-speed jet mode but that isn't on enough to be useful. I sent this unit back. I may try one of the other models that has a built in pump and brick

Yes. The company calls it "activated oxygen," but that's just another term for ozone (aka O3 or trioxygen). Ozone generators are also used in hot tubs and swimming pools as a way to keep the water clean while reducing the amount of chlorine or bromine needed for sanitation.
