Sorry I havent been around to ruffle some feathers but I figured I needed to come back and give an update. My Hydrospa is still running strong and I havent had any issues. I still use it almost daily and still love it. I spend a lot of time on another forum for my recent purchase/hobbie. See pictures below. Be back in a year to give you an update on how my hydrospa is holding out.

Nothing has happened to me...other than I have a life other than the one coming on here arguing with you about how crappy your tub is. I never ever said anything other than how my experience has been. My tub is still running fine and I use it every night.

I did!

So you are naive to think there arent some people on the forum who have created alter profiles? Like I said...pictures are worth a thousand words. I actually posted in another thread about someone who has a PE III and there was a newbie post (in favor of the PE III) right after that was very suspect. I think there are people on both sides who will do whatever it takes to feed the debate. I am not partial to one side... Turn on the IP logging and lets see...easy solution

It will take some time for the temp to fall. With your cover on and the temp outside...they all come into play. Just set the temp for what you want it to be and it will be fine. Here in florida I can have the temp set to 101 and my water can be 107 due to the temp outside.

Its definitely not needed but I kind of like mine just to add turbulence in the tub. I mainly use it when adding chems though. I hear a lot of people say it cools the water but I have never noticed my tub lose temp by running it but maybe because I never let it run long enough. It adds a different sensation when you sit in a seat that has the blower jets.

Happy Hot tubbing!!

Good luck!! Hell if they dont do you right take it back and just buy another. Did you pay for someone to deliver? Either way let us know how it turns out. Pics would be nice...

Doesn't Homer Simpson work @ nuclear power plant? Would you let Homer work on your spa??

I also was accused of being Paintsumi or whoever it was when I first posted. I do have some pictures to backup my experience.....thats it.... ...take me some pictures of your leaking tub with todays newspaper beside it so I can see the date! lol I am joking!

IP logging is your friend! Just so happened to buy a hydrospa and then stubble in here to complain....sounds bogus to me. Its the cynical side of me...sorry. How do you know the leaks are major? Have you even called Hydrospa? How would this be any different if you purchased the tub through a dealer? Go the same route...call hydrospa and see what you need to do to correct the issue.

Since I am at work I dont have the time to chase them down but are there not similar post of people who bought their tub through a dealer and they received no satisfaction? I have read stories where people have received used/floor model when they actually felt they were getting a new tub or had leaks or similar issues as the ones you posted links to. Granted there are going to be issues with tubs purchased both ways but when its a tub bought through costco/big box its a POS. If its through a dealer its ok because they have a dealer to fall back on? As a consumer that gives me little pleasure or satisfaction.

I don't think anyone has bashed those so called premium tubs as you have stated. I actually think my message has and will continue to be you can buy a tub through other means and not just a dealer and still get a good deal. I personally dont know enough about the components of any of the tubs to state one is better than the other. What I have done is give my experience of owning this tub...never stated I worked on one...never stated my Platinum is better than X...never bashed any other tub. If so please find that post for me! I think my bashing was more on the so called commission/markup of going through a dealer. I personally dont see any benifit of having a dealer backed tub versus the one I have. I guess if you feel the dealer is your only source of information go for it but there are many other resources for this. As far as supplying facts and not our experience.....? I am not a professional in the hot tub industry so not sure where you are going with that.

Did you ever stop and think maybe there are more complaints because the people who did go this route do not have a dealer to complain to, probably know very little about hot tubs and instead of learning they would rather go the easy route and just complain??? Maybe the fact there is a dealer in there to help keeps those other companies from complaining and offers good support. Like I said trying to throw dealer support on a costco tub is insane, we all should know there is no "dealer" support...but I have had a great experience with their customer service. I find it funny that you would even try to file a complaint against a company for false advertising...but you hadn't even bought their product. Do you ever leave the house?

Nope didnt work. Are you uploading to photobucket.com or some other hosting service? Try photobucket....rather easy to use.
