East TX Spa

T.P. Cooter sez: "Everbody know dat Thermal Pain be's de onlyiest way to insoolate yer spa. Innybody dat say differnt is a idjit!" Fuller "Foam" Festus retorts: "Not so fast there, Varmint! Although Full Foam makes more sense to anyone above billy goat intelligence, Thermal Pain is actually done in the right manner by a couple of companies. Master Spa ain't one of 'em. They got way to many leaky gaps in their britches."

Like rebates, perhaps? Terminator

They were actually Hurricane Katrina refugees we enslav......umm...rescued. And yes, two of them are still available. We sold the one on the end. Terminator

That is an abjective bullshit business practice. NO LEGITIMATE SPA COMPANY WOULD DO THIS. Good for you spagirl for not falling prey to this scam. Boo hoo hoo for the sales rep for missing out on a $3000 commission. Terminator

WARNING! They will probably call you back. Don't fall for their shenanigans on grossly overpriced and technologically inferior products: In Response To: Nightmare in a Thermospas Hot Tub you must be one of the hired guns they use to respond to bad posts on the internet. let me tell you that thermospas is the best sales job anyone can get. salesman make $150,000 plus per year. they are given a price sheet where the par price(the rock bottom price thermospas can sell a spa for with the salesman making only a flat $100 commission)is listed in between the model numbers on the price sheet, it's hidden in between the front and last number on the fake serial number. the salesman can sell a spa for any number they want above par and than they split that amount 50/50 with the company! they usually start with showing the highly inflated "retail" (they don't have any dealers that sell thier spas anywhere close to the high prices they charge with thier in home program)price sheet and than offer you a first night discount called the "factory direct" price.they usually give thier pitch than at the end they do the classic "drop" where they call in and ask the sales manager for a better price if the customer buys that night! its the old tin man routine and it makes alot of money. the head of the outfit is andy tournas and he does extensive training with the salesman and teaches them how to alway make the sale that night, if they dont sell that night than a manager will call the customer a few days later and offer a "special" deal and sell it fot par, its called the rehash program. i found all this out the hard way, i paid way too much for my spa. my friend got the exact same spa for thousands less than me. dont fall for thier trade in scam either, all they do is raise the price of thier spa and reduce it by the supposed amount they offer you for your trade. its a laugh, as i said they have salesman making thousands in a single night, not bad if they can sleep with the guilty conscience. good luck but i would never buy from them again The Jetsetter is an excellent spa. Good luck in your search! Terminator

Use this one. They last longer and the guy on the box looks better and doesn't wear earbobs like a girlie man: Plus, it has "Power Puissant" which has a nice ring to it. Terminator

For those of you out there who like to pinch pennies, here is a low-cost way to build a spa vac devised by our very own service tech Ronnie (pictured below on the right): Materials needed: A big ol' water jug (preferably Ozarka as it is a local industry) Duct tape Silvery duct tape A check valve A length of 1" tubing Some filtering media A rodent screen off'n a HotSpring Spa Something to poke holes in the jug Something to cut a hole in the other end of the jug 1. Stuff the filter media down in the water jug with a stick or something sticklike. 2. Take the water jug and stick a check valve in the opening. Duct tape it good. 3. Poke some drainage holes on the same end of the jug as the check valve. 4. Take the tubing and stick it in a hole you cut in the other end of the jug. Duct tape it good. 5. Wrap the rodent screen around the tube to provide support. 6. Suck crap out of the water and then let the water drain out through the holes. Ronnie is a Marine and is greatly skilled at Rube Goldberging. He is damn near as good as McGyver. I saw him make a spoon out of some plastic wrap and duct tape to eat his soup. He also fixed the radiator on the service van with some ozone tubing and a silver ion cartridge and check valve. Terminator

I don't ever recall anyone bashing Costco throughout all this hootchiecooness. Costco is a fine company as is Sam's. My contention has always been that Hydrospas are junk...always have been. The market proved me right as it always will. And we keep right on rollin' along....... Terminator

The first time I put Icy Hot on my pulled groin, I thought it was the greatest concoction ever devised: the initial soothing glacier sensation, the gently spreading warmth that began loosening my tightened loin, the aromatic smell gave me the tingles....then that devil's rub spread onto my giblets and it felt like my nards were afire whilst I writhed in eyeball shattering pain and screamed for my long dead momma to release me from it's wrath. In other words, my initial joy soon turned to unfathomonable misery. I'll be watching to see the long term results. Terminator

'Tis true, 'tis true....I probably bring it upon myself. Term

I have to admit that I am sick and tired of all the sexual advances that have been made towards my personage on this forum via private message. I try to simply lead a humble life of selling spas and spreading good will amongst my fellow hot water enthusiasts, but the lascivious messages and candid, erotic photos have become too much to bear, so I have had to put the person in question on an "ignore list" in order to preserve the virtue and sanctity to which I subscribe. Thank you for having this valuable feature and thank you for doing all within your considerable power to protect us innocents from online predators. Terminator

It's pretty obvious these "buyers" are feeding somewhere in the trough. There's just too much squealin' going on to believe otherwise. I make my living from selling HotSpring Spas, I own a HotSpring Spa, and if some misguided soul were ever to voice a negative opinion about HotSpring Spas, my panties would remain unbunched (if in fact I wore panties). I certainly wouldn't spend every day on the internet whining about someone's opinion. Disinformation, subterfuge, obfuscation is the world in which these "buyers" operate. Terminator

Liberal/socialist propaganda and nothing more. Our capitalist society works great at weeding out weak, substandard, unethical companies and their products. Those that make, sell, and service quality spas are thriving. Let the people have freedom to choose what they want and not be limited in their options....and may the best companies continue to thrive! Terminator

Their ISP accounts were probably terminated for non payment. Terminator

Mr. Willard always appeared to me to be the brightest of the Costco Gang. I imagine he is probably headed to Costco as we speak with a spa loaded on his trailer. It would be the smart move at this point, I only hope the rest of the gang seizes the initiative before the portal closes. Terminator

I'll be very interested to see how quickly the informed forum members react in regards to returning their Hydrospas to Costco while they still can. It's a great thing that this forum exists and that the lucky few who do keep up with Hydrospa's comings and goings will be able to get a jump on the rest of the herd. I wonder if Costco will accept the returns...and for how long? Terminator

No, not at all. When my customers have a question or concern, the first person they usually contact is me...the person that sold them the spa. I have specific knowledge about my product that enables me to answer their question succinctly and expediently. I never see my customers on the various forums asking questions about the spas I sold them, it just makes sense to me that a consumer would refer to their immediate contact. Sounds like they better do it quickly, though. Terminator

How could a company that sells countless thousands of high quality, low priced spas possibly be having financial difficulty? It's incontheivable! Terminator

This would be a question that would be best answered by the people that sold the spa. I don't know of any Infinity dealers that are on this forum and it is usually better to deal with the company that specializes in the particular brand and understands their limitations. Enjoy your spa! Terminator

Not sure on how to remove the cabinet as it was before my time, but it is anywhere between 1992-96. Terminator
