Welcome to our forum.
but that seems like pretty good sercive Dynasty provided for you.
Well, I fully agree that it is sometimes worth every penny to have an all-new motor and all-new pump. And hopefully, it will give you trouble-free service until you trade it in for that new HotSpring spa...
My Dynasty spa is 7 years old last month. During the 5 year full warranty everything was covered except the usual things. During that time I had one service call where the circuit breaker would blow when pump #2 came on. - Turns out it was the controller board, replaced under warranty by the dealer. Year 3 my dealer went out of business and my pump 2 went out. Dynasty hired a local guy, the pump was free, but I had to pay $125 trip charge. Year 5, a flow control sensor stuck, it would prevent pump #1 which does my heating and filtration cycles wouldn't turn on. Called Dynasty, they again hired a local guy, a different one this time, and Dynasty tech support helped me jumper across the switch to allow the heater to run. They Fedex'd the sensor directly to me and the local guy contacted me, and once the part came in to me, he came 2 days later. It was winter and I turned my tub up to 104 so that it wouldn't get too cold before I could get out there and jumper the sensor. He finally came, billed Dynasty directly, no charge to me. Now in year 7 my pump#2 was having bearing issues. I hired a guy who sold/serviced my sister in laws Dynasty tub. (She bought hers usedwith no knowledge of which one we owned) The guy did the electrical hook up for it and I thought it looked good. I hired this local guy called "The Spa Doctor" which I suppose is an upgrade from a Spa Tech? My pump was getting loud but still working so I turned the filtration cycles down as low as I could and 4 days later he had the pump replaced - $640 out of my pocked for a new wetend/ motor .
If the "Spa Doctor" you got was Mike from Gahanna, you got a good guy. He has worked on my tubs for years and has always done excellent work at a fair price.
