SmarterSpa+ Spa Saltwater Chlorine Generator for Spas, Hot Tubs, and Pools with Built-in Chlorine Detection and Mobile App Compatibility

I wanted to try something new after adding chlorine to my hot tub for years. Also, salt water seems to be a healthier alternative to chlorine, even though this generates the lesser form of chlorine. I will say, I was afraid of putting an electrode in the water since putting some sort of power in water is always a bad idea. I have had no issues with this being in my hot tub. The benefits I have noticed is that the chlorine smell is a lot less, it feels better on the skin. Obviously the cost up front is big, but in the long run it will be cheaper. I love not having to throw anything in the hot tub after we use it or having to add supplemental chlorine because it burned off. Is having the app worth it? For setup, it is great. For normal use, its nice to see if I need to add more salt. I honestly haven't used the app for 2 months and the lights and levels and everything are perfect. If you are on the fence of getting this or the lesser model. Up to you. This is a great system and it should save you money in the long run.

This unit would not connect with my Pixel 6XL. After working with their customer support for several frustrating days, their customer support sent me an email that says their unit won't ever work with my phone. The seller and the manufacturer should publish this in an obvious place in their marketing, and at the least, buyers should see it on Amazon before they lay down $600+ for the most expensive drop-in salt generator on the market. Frankly, I'd look elsewhere for a hot tub salt product. I hope this review saves someone else the headache I got from this. I cut/copy from the email I received: "Apparently the specific software and bluetooth hardware combination that we use in our SmarterSpa+ is incompatible with certain bluetooth chips on a small number of phone models. Here is a list of devices that we've confirmed to have this issue: • Pixel 6, Android 12 • Pixel 6, Android 13 • Pixel 6 Pro, Android 13 • Samsung Galaxy S10, Android 10 • Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Android 12 • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Android 12 • Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Android 13 This list is not comprehensive, only what we've gathered so far, as this is a newly developing problem that reaches beyond our company alone. We will be updating our store page to provide our customers with a warning of this issue until it is resolved."
