cookster Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi I am new to the forum I have been surfing it for a while. I am wanting to buy a spa and have considered several makes Hotsprings Marquis and more recently Vita in particular the Chateau L700 series model. it seems the features and build quality are the same or similar to me although the insulation method in the vita did not appear as robust as others I wondered what you guys thought of Vita, I live in the UK and there is not as much feedback on them as some of the other makes. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance The last I heard, Vita went belly up. I have information that indicates Maax took over the Vita Baths division, which makes jetted bathtubs. I do not know whether Maax or anyone else bought up the spa division. If they have, then it will simply be a re-branded Maax. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footie Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The dealer I bought my Coast from use to sell Vita spas, I also think he said they went to the wall and I think he said that he lost a considerable of money with their folding.

cookster Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 On studying some promotional material from them I see that the MAAX company appear to have taken over the spa division they are based in Hollywood Florida according to the brochure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatech (the unreal one) Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 On studying some promotional material from them I see that the MAAX company appear to have taken over the spa division they are based in Hollywood Florida according to the brochure I thought Maxx bought the name/molds and moved it to Arizona with their product. I'm not sure if anything changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if anything changed. To the best of my knowledge when Maax took over they switched the electronics from CE (Consumer's Electronics) to Balboa. I think that was about it.

footie Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 The funny thing is that though the dealer I bought my tub from was out pocket with their folding he continues to be very positive about the products, so maybe they were just unfortunate to not survive in this highly competitive market.

cookster Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Having said all that anyone got or had previous experience with a Vita Spa? particularly interested in reliability and running costs of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jermarsh99 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I wouldn't recommend buying a Vita spa to my worst enemy. We've had one for 5 years and it has been out of service at a minimum 15 times. We were dumb enough to purchase the top of the line Rendezvous - it is awesome for up to a week at a time but then you're done. The control panels had been replaced 7 times until the service rep finally disabled one altogether and said that it would never work. as for the other one that we had to use, it was a disaster as well and no longer functions either. we're looking at a sundance now - my parents had two for over 10 years each and there was never a problem. i was sucked in by all of the extra jets on the vita's. horrible, horrible, horrible.
