[Electronics-Talk] New hot tub owner looking for advice

[m6795556 at gmail.com]

I just meant my tubs were not salt water. I know some people have salt water pools & I did not want you to use chlorine in your tub if you had salt water. The people that have salt water pools like them. That is all I can tell you.
