To all of the disbelievers......I have had my 120Volt "heat stick only" Dreamaker Spa in Fort Lauderdale Florida for 16 years! It does heat the water to 104 degrees with no resistant electric heater! In that time I have replaced the cover twice (3 times total including original) about 5 jets and 3 motors (all motors had bad pump seals & I broke their impellers everytime, so I am lazy and just ordered a whole new pump assembly, 1 of them NOT from the company) I have not replaced anything else in 16 years period. I have had hot plenty of fancy hot tubs in my life and they were all garbage after about 5 years or required non cost effective repairs. Those who think the heated water is coming from the clam shell around the motor are foolish, mine has been gone for years and still heats flawlessly. Those who also think it has some kind of "magic motor/pump" are crazy too! I use my tub everyday for 20 minutes "like your suppose to" and it drops about 2 degrees in temperature in use. I then cover it and it runs for about 20 minutes to recover the 2 degrees no matter what the air temperature is outside <--here in Florida. It cycles on and off throughout the day just like any standard 240 volt heated tub will do, running constant after water changes for about 24 hours. So it's not fast to heat and it will not keep up for parties (that is what we have the pool for) This does not in the least bother me, nor do I think it would even in a cooler climate if used as directed. This tub is made of material like it should be, no wood to rot and the elements haven't effected it all (I also got the matching stairs that are awesome) When this one springs a leak I cant repair I wouldn't even hesitate to buy another tub from this manufacturer and I hope they stay in business as they are when I wrote this. I can't speak for this tub working for everyone (remember they are located in Florida) but for me I still love my Dreamker hot tub and use it every single morning. And to anyone "especially the first ones to write about this" that is a disbeliever in this basic technology should be ashamed of themselves not knowing something then posting it! Feel free to come check mine out if you are skeptical, I'll have a cold beer and I'll hand you a screwdriver so you can discover this "magic" LOL I of course will be in the HOT tub :)
