kd in NC

I am happy with tub so far...seems like i may have wandered into the wrong place. I thought I would get help in setting up and share success stories and prob solve with fellow spa owners. instead this is being over run by someone who either needs a different "hobby" or perhaps a job that is more fulfilling. Just a thought. Maybe we should start another blog for people who actually have things to say that people want to hear. Just a thought....

Hi Kid -- I, too, was feeling very unprepared for our spa! I found an electrician who agreed simply to do all the connections if I did most of the labor and bought the parts ahead of time. So I went to Lowe's and purchased the 6-3 cables, the conduit, the spa panel, 50A breaker and other misc items. I drilled all the holes through my basement joists, fed the electric lines. The total electrical bill was $425.00: $225 parts, $200 to the electrician. I was more than pleased. He was a great guy, too. I'll be giving him more work in the future! As for the delay on the Sun Peak, it may be due to the factory being so overwhelmed by the popularity of this product. I've heard they're manufacturing over 500 tubs a week to keep up with the demand. This, plus the fact that an actual Infinity employee delivered my tub (and my next door neighbor's) from Tennessee to Michigan. He said that's how they're saving a bundle on shipping costs -- self delivery. And before one of you dealer-naysayers thinks this is a hack job, that employee-driver had over twenty years of spa experience. The semi he was driving had roughly a dozen tubs on it, all being delivered that day. In addition to the electrical install, my second-greatest fear was what to do with a tub dropped-off at the curb? But when the delivery came, the Infinity guy put the tub on his dolly and brought it right to my backyard patio for a $50.00 tip! I've had my tub for a few weeks now and am still thrilled with it! Aside from water chemistry trials and errors, NO PROBLEMS! My family and I get a soak in almost every night. Great product, IMHO. Would buy it all over again! thanks. i am looking forward to delivery on saturday. hopefully he will take it to the back with a tip. i have 5 or 6 guys to help move if ness.
