ACE Salt Water Sanitizing System
This is our main discussion here, the saltwater system. Then, how the system works? While you enjoy the relaxing time inside the tub, the ACE water care does its job. The special diamond electrode in the ACE system is energized, then it breaks apart water molecule to create active oxygen. The active oxygen then combined with salt to create natural chlorine, this is what makes the water of saltwater hot tub is silkier and more sparkling. (Read also: Oasis Hot Tubs Spas)
