Easy install
Pretty easy install. Since the Jacuzzi was empty at the time, all I had to do was cut the line and put it in. There are a couple of install videos on YouTube that you can watch.Works great.

You can do it (add ozone to your Hotspring spa)
We just bought a Hotspring spa and I wanted to add ozone from the beginning. I searched on YouTube and found several videos showing how easy it was, and decided to give it a try. Fifteen minutes later it was done. My Hotspring HotSpot SX controller did not match with the ozone wire connections shown in the video but it was easy to figure it out after I took a picture of the controller board and zoomed in. The white wire connects on the left side of the board, and the black wire connects towards the top center. Works great and I saved myself about $200.

This ozonator has worked great. Substantially discounted price compared to dealer retail.
This is a genuine Watkins Wellness ozone generator. I have use it for about a year. It is much better than the after market generator supplied by my dealer! I have a 250 gallon spa used twice per week and rarely need any sanitizing chemicals or chlorine. The price is significantly discounted compared to dealer retail price.

My God, what a difference!!
I didn't realize how broken my old one was until I replaced it with this new one. My Aria hot tub is 7 years old now, and I had never replaced the ozone generator. Installed this new one and wow, what a difference. Its like it was when brand new. That fresh rain smell is back, and the water just feels so much better. If you haven't replaced yours for several years, do it. Worth every penny, and easy to install.

Expensive part, read directions, understand them before you begin.
Product OK, Directions poor. Do not cut supply wqter line as stated, there won't be enough plastic line left to connect the new ozone unit. Remove the clamp, Heat the pipe and pry off pipe from the injector piece. Slow and careful. Best if tub is drained, otherwise you will get wet and have a mess.

Easy replacement with good instructions
Works great and was an easy replacement for my failing unit. I was replacing a 10 year old unit and luckily most of the tubing and installation from the old unit lined up fine with the new unit. Hardest part was to clamp off the supply hoses while doing the work. Great value.

If yours is broken, this is the best deal
I replaced a three year old unit just like it. Biggest pain was removing and reinstalling the service panel. My hot tub dealer told me ozonators go every two to four years used year round like mine. This was 60% cheaper than buying the same unit through the brick and mortar dealer. Instructions were good. Comes with the check valves as needed. Depending on your layout, it's easy to fit in, but try to clean the existing in-hose T-fitting with a wire before going to all the trouble of replacing it in a very tight space and short main hose. All you really need is the ozonator itself and the new feeder hose, unless your tub doesn't have one already.

Failed after 11 months
Unit failed after 11 months. Followed the directions to troubleshoot the system that are sent with the unit. It was a bad check valve. Watkins will not work directly with me I have to work through the Amazon seller (Jacks). Jacks told me I have to send the check valve to them so they can make a warranty claim and send the part to Watkins. All this for a check valve that cost them $3. Unbelievable that their instructions state that the check valve is the #1 cause of issues but they will not replace under warranty without all this. This is my 3rd ozone unit for this spa. The original (Watkins) lasted 9 years, the 2nd (an aftermarket unit) lasted 8 years. Save your self some money and go aftermarket and by an extra check valve for $7. I will update my review if watkins replaces the check valve
