East TX Spa Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well as someone new to tubbing I came on to this forum to get educated and discuss relevant matters to be with their general up keep but in the short time I have been here all I have experienced is back stabbing as to which brand is best and which to buy, clearly a large percentage of people on here have the agenda of promoting themselves (i.e.brand) and little true interest in the community as a whole. I would respectfully disagree with you sir/madam. I have been on this forum a long time and have been privileged to observe many instances of peer-to-peer cooperation as well as neophytes (like yourself) provided with a great deal of help before and after their journey into the world of spas. I would, daresay, that the ratio of bashing is considerably lower than at times past. I see that as a great credit towards the presence of many long-time industry professionals whose primary existence on these and other forums is to help promote the industry as a whole. Certainly, there are rogue elements which pass through occasionally, but they are soon exposed and sent merrily on their way. Information is a wonderful tool to have at one's disposal. The rub is in being able to identify it as truth. Jolly Ol' Term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Ol' Term Thanks for you reply, I suppose I just happen to join at a point when one of these 'Master Spa' debates had just kicked off and it appeared to be on going, that and david bilton trash talking about Coast. All I want and guess its true for any new member is general advice on the products they have chosen, how to get the best enjoyment and years of trouble free pleasure out of said product without bad mouthing and dare I say scaremongering people on the brand they have bought. After DB made those claims I made it my business to check them out, each one didn't prove to be true, especially the frame, so unless they have changed over night or we in the UK get a different product I can't understand his reactions and posting unless it's personal.

footie Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 David, I think you need to do a search on google to see how many brands suffer from problems of one sort or another and in almost every occasion where the words 'STAY AWAY' are used it is almost always the fault of the dealer failing the customer, either through their inability to fix the fault or the dealer going bust. After this search and reading many of the faults each brand suffer I am more happy with my decision because I know I have total faith in my dealer. I also think most of my complaint with you is your approach towards Coast, maybe if you highlighted your concerns in a different way and better still, use your experience with the brand by helping people like myself and other members on how to care for their tub and what potential issues to look out for and what to do when they might arise.
