That's funny you say that actually. On a day to day basis I get more complaints from customers about there small little dealers and the horrible service they receive from them than about anything else. Some people fall through the cracks at Hydro Spa but that is also why we are expanding our Customer Service department... So that doesn't happen.
Between the 8,000 2005 (Platinum 1) spas we sold last year and now the almost 10,000 2010 (Platinum 2) spas this year we have a very low percentage of true "spa problems". Most of the issues come from shipping (i.e. Broken panels, kinked hoses, a broken plumbing manifold, trapped hoses, etc.) The Balboa HS200/M7 spa pack is practically infallable. The Costco juggernaut and her people love the spa so much that we will continue to sell the Platinum series through 2007 as well. Might even see a newer Platinum.
