We have an Arctic Cub, from 2003. We purchased it used, and have only had to do a little work on the guts of the thing, replacing the silicone sealant around the jets; a couple were slightly leaking, and replacing the light cover and nut. All the hoses and connections were fine, so that was great. It was WELL out of warranty when we finally got it going, so hubby's been doing that work. We decided to go with a salt water chlorine generator, and are working on getting the chemistry right, but we're loving the tub. The seats are extremely comfortable, and I didn't float out of the lounge like I did in both the Caldera and the Jacuzzi brands that we wet-tested.
