Unfortunately if the plastic covering the inserts has broken down, then your cover is water logged. It will only get heavier through time. Where are you based? I'm in the UK, so can only help with cover costs for here.

Which country are you based in?

Whereabouts are you based?

It is true, you don't really get a feel for a tub until you have wet tested. I hope you find the tub for you. There is nothing better than trying a tub, being happy with it, then the next thing......it's in you back yard for use any time you like

I still find it very strange that the lounger gave a great massage but not the other seats. Considering that the pump for the other seats is positioned closer to the diverter and has shorter hose. I checked a cub here and the pressure from the captains chair is slightly more PSI than the lounger. Very strange!!!!!! Also, why did the fact that there were not many foot jets in the footwell turn out to be an issue when you were fully aware there weren't many in there to begin with. This all sounds strange to me!! I hope your wet test in the Sundance goes better, without any "suprises" such as lack of footwell jets.

Have you started any research on tubs yet? I work for Arctic Spas Europe, we're based in Worcestershire in the United Kingdom. You can check our spas out online, but you really should spend some time searching for the spa that's right for you, and your budget.

We have a £4500 sterling massage chair in our warehouse and compared to a hot tub, there is no comparison. Don't get me wrong, the massage chair does give a good deep massage, but compared the massage in a hot tub, whilst submerged in lovely hot water.....no competition, go with the tub

Hotsprings, Sundance and Jacuzzi are fine hot tubs but also check out Arctic Spas. Well built spas, made to last, but in the end go with the spa you feel most comfortable in (remember to wet test) and the dealer who is most reliable and been in business for a good while.

Don't know how helpfull I can be but I did have the same issue with a tub I was cleaning out using swirl away. The tub had been running for about 2 months at a customers. I brought it back for a service and used swirl away to clean the lines out. After flushing this out and filling with fresh water the spa ran over nighgt, the next day I had a load of white flakes from the lines in the footwell and caught in the filter, it's basically bio film from the pipework. After draining the water for a second time and giving the filter a good clean, the water was fine, I only got a small amount of flakes caught in the filter.

Wet-test the Arctic models you like, and wet-test the Hotsprings models you like. It is really the only way to find out which spa is going to be the most comfortable for you. Also, go with the dealer you are most comfortable with as well, and who has a long enough standing as a dealer. Try speaking to some of the Arctic and Hotspring customers from each of these dealers shops (best people for advice on the product and dealer). Having a good dealer as back up (if ever required) is just as important as choosing the spa best suited to your needs.

Is this pump running in line with the heater? If so it will be the pump to circulate water through the heater when the spa is asking for heat, which may be the cause of your error code. If that's the case, you will need to replace that pump to resolve the issue. I have no experience with your model of spa, but hope this info may help

I would say from the two you have mentioned I would go with the D1. We do have a onctact in Switzerland who may be able to help further. His name is Markus Beunder: A1-Service & Wellness Markus Buender Stationsstrasse 8 CH-6023 Rothenburg Switzerland Phone: ++41 41 280 43 85 Fax: ++41 41 280 20 77

Here Here Spadude63!! Positive thinking is the way forward

Weddings have jack s*#t to do with the wiring of speakers! Without knowing what output the speakers are capable of handling, it would be a risk to wire them up and hope they can take it. Is there nothing anywhere on the spa that states what wattage they are? If you do go ahead and wire them up, at least if you have a seperate volume control for them you can keep them low, preventing them from being blown.

The Economy setting may be working correctly, it sounds to me that it's possibly your filtration kicking in. Have you checked the filtration settings.

Have you tried drying it out, filling it up and adding some dye to the water to locate the source??

What bopard is in your spa? Is it a Gecko Maspa board or a Gloabl spa Pack? If it is an Mspa pack how many jumpers does it have? I can help with the progarmming on the Mspa series but I have no knowledge on the global packs. I can however put you in contact with someone who does have knowledge.

The best one I've found throughout the years is Covermate's covermate 3 which has pnuematic rods at either side. These have certainly stood the test of time and had much less failure rates than any others I have tried: http://www.spacoverlifts.com/covermate3/cover-mate3.htm

Bad News is that spa lists for about $ 7,000 to $8,000 not $10,000-$15,000. But enjoy it. I'd love to see where that spa is listed for $7,000 or even $8,000. The Klondiker LSE retails here for £15,000, that's almost $30,000 canadian. Please send me a link or information as to where I can purchase the Klondiker LSE for this extreemly cheap price of $7,000/$8,000 Most any dealer in the US would be happy with $8000 for that spa. Unfortunately there aren't many Arctic dealers in the US anymore. I used to sell them for about a year, there are not bad for just an average over-hyped, over marketed spa. I checked with a few of our US dealers and they said they would have to be insane to sell an SE for $8000 US. Arctic Spas are still regarded in the top 5 best hot tubs you can buy. The fact that Arctic are still around and still growing across the globe when all the other major companies we're against the wall proves they are more than just an average, over-hyped and over marketed spa, but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Only a low balling salesperson would drop an SE price to $8000 to get a sale, that's my opinion

The pre-filters are geat for filling the spa and keeping the TDS low. A majority of our customers who use the salt system use the disposable filters, but some of them do switch to the paper filters. It's realy down to your own preference. Our customers using the paper filters usually take them out once a fortnight to hose them down of debris.

Any other choices? I don't know much about the Coast Spas Radiance, but we have had the Apollos in stock for a while now and the Chelan is our biggest seller in the Apollo line. Good sized spa with 3 pumps and plenty of jets. But deffinetely wet test both spas your interested in.

But thats not right either, that adds up to 25 years and thats certainly not true. I thought it was about 13 or so, I'm not sure whats right now!? 1994 is the year they started trading as Arctic Spas, but they have been manufacturing spas for some years before that.
