salt water hot tub

[Joel Oh]

They have a deal on salt water hot tub. 

According to the sales person, I don't need to handle PH level, adding chlorine or even changing water due to sodium level they maintain. (Just need to clean filter every month? and maybe change the water once or twice per year).

I always consider 40% of what sales person say, matches the actual performance. Do you guys see the benefit outperform the 2~3k price difference? 

(More buoyancy was very tempting for myself though)

I have a salt water hot tub at my personal home. You still have to add chlorine occasionally and I find it fussy. It is nicer to use than a regular chlorine hot tub especially on your skin but I don't know if the maintenance is any better or worse, personally. I bought it because it was supposed to be easier to keep up with than traditional, but I've had to rebalance the ph myself several times.
