Welcome to our forum.
The point I was trying to make is that as long as you are looking at tubs that are made by one of the top manufacturers, find the tub that fits you best and buy it.
If this is not true then the Hotspring dealers should put a disclosure on the other tubs they sell (limelight and so on) that these tubs will be unable to keep water clean.
The point I was trying to make is that as long as you are looking at tubs that are made by one of the top manufacturers, find the tub that fits you best and buy it. Because on any of those (quality built tubs) the filtration systems along with good chemical maintainence will leave you with clean, quality water. If this is not true then the Hotspring dealers should put a disclosure on the other tubs they sell (limelight and so on) that these tubs will be unable to keep water clean.This is simply my humble opinion. I respect and admire the fact that all of the dealers on this website are passionate about what they sell. It tells me you are proud of what you sell, I appreciate that in all of you.Thanks,Fred
You're getting closer....I show folks the HotSpring, answer their questions, tell them the advantages of owning one and of doing business with us, and then I take them to the mood room and show them the Limelight. I point out the bypass valves (3 of them! ) and ask if any of the other spa peddlers have told them what they do (the answers range from "underwater speakers" to "foot suction massagers" ), and then I explain EXACTLY what their function is: they simply bypass the filters. That's it.The rest is up to them.Some of them ask if the Limelight will keep the water clean...I tell them it cleans as well as any of the other spas.Whatever is important to the customers will win out, as it always should. I show them both sides of the aisle.Gotta go, 2 good lookig gals are here shopping!Terminator
Interesting...It says in there:"damage to components or spa surface caused by improper water chemistry maintenance" invalidates the warranty. Is the no fault heater not considered as one of the components? Or if the heater goes out due to improper water chemistry maintenance, is it not covered?? I am asking this as a serious question. :-?
Is there a dealer on here that has not provided warranty service due to " improper watercare" to one of their customers?I find this one aspect of warranties (notice I didn't say GUARANTEES) to be far too broad of a loophole totally designed to protect the manufacturer. My issue is that 99% of spa owners either aren't shown HOW to properly care for their water or just don't do everything they should be from a manufacturers view.The reality is that dealers could negate virtually every claim under this gaping disclaimer if they so chose to do so. I don't believe any reputable dealer would exercise this part of their warranty to not provide service to a customer. Simply put, a large part of the onus is actually ON the dealer to educate their customers. I understand dealers can't baby-sit their customers but if the spa is THAT bad that a dealer won't provide warranty service, it was more than just a misunderstanding during the teaching of watercare. If there wasn’t basic watercare knowledge provided to the consumer, again, the dealer is partially responsible IMO.I don’t know of a manufacturer that doesn’t have this written into their warranty but that’s just lawyereze. The decision lays with the individual dealer. I know it’s something I would NEVER do (and I never have in 10 years) to one of my customers… But then again, we were in business for 24 years and wanted to be for another 24…Steve

I did not realize that HotSpring did that and I think it sucks!I apologize.Term
just couldn't believe that Hot Spring didn't have disclaimers somewhere in their literature.
