Why Use UV to Sanitize Your Hot Tub?

Why should you use UV to sanitize your hot tub?  For one, it is much more efficient and far less toxic than to use this system.  Let's face it, your main option to keep your water sanitary is to use bromine and/or chlorine.  Both are chemicals and they can cause irritation if you inhale them.  Salt systems are even worse.
Salt water hot tubs advertise a claim of lower prices.  And while it is true that a monthly supply of salt is far cheaper than a monthly supply of chemicals, however, salt cells have to be replaced every year or so, and they are rather expensive, to the tune of $1000 in some cases.  However, a UV sanitizer is built into a hot tub and it helps to keep your water a lot cleaner by killing harmful organisms  and keeping your water a lot cleaner, which makes for reduced use of chemicals, which in turn saves you some money each year.  Buying a hot tub with a UV system can help to save you some money.

How Effective Are Hot Tub UV Systems?

UV light disinfection can kill almost 100% of all pathogens in your hot tub's water.  This lowers your dependency on chemicals by up to 90%.  Since you don't have to use as much, you also don't have to worry about your skin or lungs getting irritated or inflamed.  And the best thing about UV systems?  They've been tested.

Municipal water systems pass water through much larger UV filters, but the process is essentially the same. As water passes through the disinfection chamber, a high intensity UV germicidal light ray literally destroys genetic code of harmful pathogens such as viruses, mold, bacteria and more.
So keep yourself and your family safe, and keep some more money in your pocket.  How do you do this?  Well it's merely a matter of making the right choices.  Don't buy the hype of salt systems, and remember that chemical systems aren't much better and add to the cost of your hot tub every month.  So the solution is clear, don't just buy yourself a hot tub.  Buy a hot tub with a UV disinfecting system instead.
