"Many of hot tubs being sold onrine are Made in China......good for eggroll, good for lead-based toys and milk, good for underage gymnastics, bad for hot tub.  So say Number One Son."

I challenge ANYONE to read this owner's manual without getting a headache!  Here's a small sample copied and pasted:

6[ch12289]Operation of preheating[ch65306]
When the preheating time is as same as the current time, the LCD screen shows “on” and the tub is also filled with water. The heater will start to work. The heater, circulation pupm and time counting work atsimultaneity. The countdown time will be shown on the LCD screen, till the preset time is finished.
During the preheating, The preheating will be turned off automatically once the preset time is finished.


Here is the link to this masterpiece in it's entirety.  I swear, they must have had drewstar write this thing:

I wouldn't expect much in the way of quality, it won't be well insulated, the warranty will be useless (its doubtful you'll get a response let alone any help) and it will eventually turn into a continual project (are you a bored DIYer?).

Don't be swayed by a cheap price and a bunch of flash. In the end you get what you pay for. I'd call it a big gamble!

I'm convinced!!  I'll be dumping my agreement with the world's #1 selling brand, Hot Spring and immediately begin selling these obviously well built tubs.  Thanks Hidroa sis hut tobs!!

I finally made it to the last page of the owner's manual...it's not even a portable spa.  You have to connect waterlines to and from it! ;D

It is the most entertaining owner's manual I've run across yet!

I encourage everyone who has ever considered buying a spa online to read it.
