  1. Found this about the insulation. They use some kind of foam as well as the panels. Sounds smart. Hope it works! At Trévi, all spas are created keeping in mind Quebecers’ tastes and winter harsh conditions. The insulation of a spa should not be neglected. Some spas are insulated with urethan. With time, urethan hardens and may crack. When this happens, there is no possible insulation and if there is a leak, urethan has to be broken. This is why Trévi prefers two different types of insulation. The first is an insulating foam that always goes back to its original shape. It has air cells that provide an excellent insulation. Should a leak happen, the foam will absorb the water and allow us to locate the leak area, to slightly scratch the foam and to repair the leak. The other insulant is the MAX panel surrounding the spa. Should a problem arise, the spa skirt and the panels are removed, the problem repaired and everything put back in place. The panel is seven times more efficient than urethan. The foam provides 50% more insulation than any other material commonly used.
  2. Thank you. I’m looking at the Trevi L-900. My wife and I wet-tested Jacuzzi 475, Bullfrog A8L, Arctic Spas Summit but the Trevi L-600 (same frame as the L-900) was the most comfortable wet and the jets were just right. With all the others the jets were a little too strong for our taste for prolonged use. Arctic Spas’ individual jets are hard to turn, Bullfrog has shitty foot jets, Jacuzzi was nice but the lounger’s seat is too upright.l and we really want a lounger. The most comfortable without jets were the Arctics but jets matter. Even if you close them partially it’s just not right. Trevi was perfect, although a little smaller. I was looking for a higher-end spa but hey a test-drive is the best way. Trevi’s warranty sucks, though. That’s what makes me a little hesitant. I’m especially worried about the spa not being able to heat to 100-102 and keep it when it’s -20 Celsius outside and we’re sitting in it. I’m buying a spa mostly for the wintertime so to me that’s super important. I can’t find any online testimonials about winter use with these spas and it’s quite frustrating. They only use « RMAX » panels for isolation, I don’t think they use any polyurethane. That also worries me a bit for winter use. Thanks for helping a guy out, CanadianSpaTech. If you can offer anymore insight I’m all ears. I’m actually thinking of paying a spa repairman to go look at the Trevi L-900 in store and tell me if he thinks it’s going to last and do its job during the winter or not with the components it has. Not a bad idea? Cheers
  3. Thanks for your input! My wife and I just tried a Trevi spa today with a lounger but were underwhelmed by the overall lack of power it. But she loves the lounger and I might too if it's powerful enough! Cheers
  4. Hi I'm in Laval but moving to Quebec City. Thanks for the tip about the cedar. Might go for the non-cedar option, although more expensive.
  5. Hi. I live in Quebec and this Trevi company seems to be making really practical spas, at a "reasonable" price. I cannot find anything online about them but I know they are very popular. Help! I am very tempted! Any Trevi Spa owner here willing to share their experience about owning one of these? Reliable? Thanks
  6. Hi everyone, Great community! First-time buyer and have my eye on a Kodiak from Arctic Spa because of the lounger, that or a Summit or a Tundra, which has 4 shuttle seats (captain seats?). I intend to buy in Quebec City. I could only wet-test the Summit, which is their most popular. Great pressure from the SDS pump and the foot jet is also really powerful. I didn't find this when I tried the Bullfrog A7. Is it me or only Arctic has such a strong, single foot jet? So I've never tried a lounger and am wondering if you grow tired of it at some point. I guess it's like taking a bath, only much better? Any Arctic Loungers out here? My wife pointed out to me that there are often jets under your bum. Does that get uncomfortable after a while, since the surface isn't flat? Thanks!
