Dutchcookieface Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hello guys... My neighbor planned to GIVE me her tub. I think her husband had other ideas and now its back to the drawing board. I was looking at this tub. Made by Arctic Spas. My concern is it has only one pump. Should that be a concern? https://www.familyleisure.com/Spas-Hot-Tubs/Hawaii-735L Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Spa Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Concerned about what? FYI, the spa in your link is made by Artesian Spas, not Arctic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchcookieface Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Dr. Spa, I genuinely appreciate your feedback on spa matters. I see there are a lot of questions out there. My ambiguity (for which I apologize) stems from being a beginner spa searcher. That being said, my question about the tub having only single pump was meant to be more of a general feeler question. This is also why I added the link to the specific tub. This model is being offered for $4900 at California Backyard. Looking for responses that explain why 2 or 3 pumps may be better than just 1 pump. Or, "Artesian Spas" have a good or bad track record of reliability. Does that make any sense?

Dr. Spa Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Artesian Spas is one of the better manufacturers out there. They stand very solid behind their product. As for the number of pumps. 1 is fine, if the spa feels good to you. 3 or 4 may feel better, or worse, will definitely cost you more initially to buy, and require 3 to 4 times the maintenance as compared to 1 pump, over the life of the spa..

Cusser Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Mine has one pump; I'm still using the original water pump/electric motor on my 1988 CalSpa. I did have to take it out and replace its seal once. It also has an air pump that can be switched on, for more "action" as the salesman called it.
