Question:
I'm new to hot tubs and my husband and I just started looking around the
market. We like Cal spas price, options, and construction from what we
can see. I've been looking around the net but can't seem to find to much
. Does anyone out there own one? Can you tell me if they are as
wonderful as the salesman and paperwork made them seem? Or does some
have a spa of a different brand that they recomend.
Answer:
We have a 7 year old Hot Springs hot tub. It has been great, easy to clean
because of the material used for the tub, and the ozonator continues to work
even after this time. It has a main jet pump, and a smaller recirculating
pump which runs contstantly. Both continue to work just fine and
effectively. The only thing I don't like, but can't really tell you that it
is drawback, is that the heater, in this model of Hot Springs, shuts off
when the main jets run. However, this has been a benefit for our 12 year old
daughter who doesn't like the 104 deg water. So when we get in a turn the
jets on, 10 minutes later it is cool enough for her to enter. I have had a
couple of jet knobs break but parts were immediately available from the
dealer.
We like ours, but the maintenance can be a pain, and this will not change
for any hot tub IMHO.
