Tis all chlorine-one just stores your future chlorine in the pool in the form of salt and makes more chlorine constantly. Very little salt required. Highly recommend.
It's an 11,000 gallon "hot tub", but I'm about to convert my chlorine pool to salt water just to cut down on the maintenance. The chlorine generator tubes do have a lifespan, though, so figure you'll be changing those out every few years.
Hot tubs use bromine which retains I cleaning properties at higher heat. You want to test hot tub chemicals often enough (ph and alkalinity) it's nothing to add a few more bromine tabs to the floating carrier.
I wouldn't spend the money unless you really want to. Also, buying a new hot tub? Down here you can almost get them for free. At some point people just want them gone.
My $200 HT has been cranking it out for almost 12 years. It worked great, only needs a new blower (which isn't even necessary).
In reply to Keith Tanner :
We did salt when we redid our pool in 2018. I'm already on my second salt cell ($700). You need to clean them every 3 months or so with a hose sprayer and/or soaking in acid/water solution if the buildup is bad enough, so they are not care free.
Btw, I'm not a pool professional, BUT my first summer job was working for Pinch-a- Penny (huge FL pool supply chain). This was back in '83 and I still remember my morning commute in our Omni/Horizon (VW engine) and shifting from 3-4th and wrapping the speedo past the 85mph limit and back around to 0. Loved that car! The job, sure. Loved it too.
Ya know how people say that when they make big money, they won't announce it but there will be signs....
Lolz. I mean not really. Lots of people have hot tubs. I just thought it was funny.
