  1. I have had my Swift Current hot tub, an older unit/model V1 for ~5 years. I set it up in my basement during winter and on my deck outside during the summer. The impeller broke in two pieces as they are only plastic, the shaft is ok and a small water leak, I ordered 3 Fluval 304/305 impeller only from a pet store online for ~17 dollars each Canadian. Installed and used vacuum grease around the gaskets to help stop the leak and has been running for ~2 months now. If you go this option as a fix, the recirculating water will not be as good as the original impeller, Fluval impeller is smaller. Some extra cleaning might be needed to maintain the scum build up. I turned on the bubbles a couple of times a day when not in use to help recirculate the water. The Company that sells the Unit is a joke so don't hold your breathe on getting almost any replacement parts from them. Taking the Unit apart really isn't that bad, take your time or tackle it with a friend if not able yourself. Another issue I had a couple of years ago, I turned on the bubbles/blower and it sounded the same as usual but no bubbles in the tub. Took apart and with a flashlight I could barely see the corner of a gasket, bigger gasket ~4inch but very thin. Easy fix just reset the gasket.
