footie Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Well I thought it was time to do a report on owning a Coast Spa and possible pitfalls as I'm now 18 months in to ownership. Sorry guys but there's nothing to report, the spa has never missed a beat, everything works perfectly as well as the day it arrived and I'm still on my first pair of filters which are still looking great. Only thing I would say is that the cover needs a lot of care to keep good, might be the same for all of them, may be or constantly damp cold winter we have here but I doubt I'll see 5~6 years out of this cover.

Footie, where are you located? Covers dont last forever (I am installing a new cover on my 4 year old Caldera Geneva this weekend). But needing a new cover in only 18 months is a very short time.

footie Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Sorry for making it sound like the cover is on its last legs because that's not the case, all I meant was the cover needs far more care than I ever thought possible to keep it looking good. I assumed that twice a year giving it a clean and polish would have been enough but I'm finding every two months at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even Further Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Great update about your spa. My Coast is almost 11 years old and runs like a champ. The info label on my cover (Beachcomber) says "expected life: 3-5 years". When I get a new cover, I/m going to use 303 vinyl protectant spay liberally.

spawn Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have heard of many uses for 303 protectant but I did not realize that spaying was one of them. I guess if you know what you are doing there is a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
