Unlike some pro's, I am not a fan of ozone for a hot tub. One of the by-products of ozone production is nitric acid. It apparently concerns enough manufacturers that they deliberately program most modern electronics to disable ozone production for a while after the user turns on the jets.

I have had a hot tub for 16 years and could have easily added an ozonator, but I did not. I use sodium di-chlor, which is the tried and true sanitizer when used in moderation.
