First we should look at the advantages of using salt water so you can see why having a salt water system in your hot tub is a good idea.
First and foremost salt water is much softer on the skin and has less drying effects than traditional sanitizers like bromine or chlorine.
The addition of salt into the water actually leaves your skin feeling softer and more moisturized when you get out then when you went in to begin with.
As many people with sensitive skin would tell you, this is a huge improvement.
Many hot tub users have trouble with dry skin and itch as a result of the drying effects of bromine.
If you have a salt water bromine system you will not experience this drying effect anymore.
You will also notice a drastic reduction in the chemical smell on your skin after you get it.
The reason you can make your own salt water sanitizer in a hot tub with bromine and not in a pool with chlorine is because of how bromine reacts to oxidizers.
Oxidizers like potassium mono persulfate, or hydrogen peroxide, will reactivate used to bromine in a hot tub.
It will also take a base ingredient like sodium bromide, and turn it chemically into free bromine.
Chlorine does not react the same way to oxidizers as bromine does.
Though oxidizers do somewhat reactivate chlorine levels, it is not to the extreme extent that oxidizers reactivate bromine.
You can only make your own saltwater system if you use bromine and sodium bromide not sodium chloride.
You need to add 4 L of sodium bromide either granular or liquid, to every 1000 L of spa water.
This will give you an approximate sodium bromide or salt level of 2000 to 3000 ppm.
Just as you would normally add bromine every three days or so in the hot tub, you will now at oxidizer every three days or so.
When you add the oxidizer it will react with the salt in the water and create the chemical bromine.
The only thing that you need to do is learn how much oxidizer you need to add, and how often you need to add it, to maintain a bromine level between 2 to 10 ppm in your water at all times.
This amount will vary between 1 teaspoon and one cup of oxidizer powder every 2 to 3 days but this value will completely depend on how much you use your hot tub.
Following these steps will give you the exact same end result as buying a commercially available bromine salt water generator.
The only difference is you will save yourself about $1000.
There is absolutely no difference between the way a saltwater cell creates bromine and the way that you create bromine by adding oxidizer to the water plus you get all of the health benefits that salt water has.
