Yes! Once you connect the ionizer to your plumbing and get your level adjusted correctly you're good to go! Once a week you still have to use a fast acting oxidizer to burn up any dead organic matter (sloughed off skin cells etc) that have been left behind in your water. If you do this on a Sunday evening when you're done with your dip, by Monday morning the chemical is already gone, along with whatever it burned up. If you're gone for a couple weeks (or even simply not using your hot tub because of your schedule), you don't even have to use the oxidizer since nothing would have accumulated in the water, and the ionizer will continue to work.

Please feel free to shoot off any other questions you might have here if you'd like and I'll respond in as timely a manner as possible. For instant answers you're welcome to give our office a call (304-645-2310), or use the live chat function located in the upper right corner of all of our web pages. We love to see people switching from chemicals to ionizers. It's really the better alternative all around.

Hi! Have you ever looked into an ionizer? These units produce copper, silver and zinc ions, and completely eliminate the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine or bromine. With full disclosure in mind, I work for a company that sells them, but we really do believe in them! The ions add no smell, no color, no taste to the water. Our association with ionizers came about mainly because of our association with wooden hot tubs. Chlorine and bromine in a wooden hot tub can quickly cause unrepairable damage to the wood.

You can see our ionizers at http://www.almostheaven.net/aho/ionizers.htm. We've had customers who had to abandon their hot tub/spa/pool due to an allergic reaction to other chemical sanitizers. With our ionizer they're once again able to enjoy the water without adverse reaction. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions!
