2011 Limelight warranty is same as Hot Spring. 5 years parts and labor. It's no secret. See http://www.limelighthottubs.com/hot_tub_owners.html#hot-tub-concierge?id=warranty-owners-manual
summitman thanks for the input ,[/color]]1. [Read the fineprint on the lifetime warranty on the Arctic Shell, only real limitation on it is on water loss, unlike others fineprintMy question on your response is....what good is your lifetime structure warranty if say in 12 years it develops 3 big cracks but does not go thru the shell and backing, yes it is still functional looks like crap, is the customer out of luck because their was not a defect in the structure thus no waterloss??? just asking the questrion...2. [/color] I understand tht jets, Sunbelt uses the same style were they thread in and and a spinner with no bearings...Sundance has done that for years...alot of manufacturers use several size jets in the spas, not just the small directional or some call them hk40, some call them accupressure... Good feature on the global pack if your customer has and Iphone, not all do. Balboa has had a system like it for using a cell phone for diagnostics, I guess if you are a person using the hoit tub and is always worrying about the hot tub running or not from your house and can't walk outside to check it...ok,,, On my own tub i am not married to it were i have to turn it on and off, thata what the sytem does automatically on its filter cycles, or with a 24 hour circ system....but to each his own...3. []question for you do you have that many customers that want to add lights down the road,,, on the stereo yes it makes it easier, i have done it on both the thermal chamber and once on a full foam,4. [ pumps are designed were ,Italy,,,so do they buld them in Canada then ....I remember seeing at the fair this year the tag said built in Italy i will have to pull my picture on that5. [Your right on the energy testing i do not think it is an absolute joke,I can't believe that Arctic is that far ahead compared to say Clearwater and Master,also thermal chamber spas, Hot Springs ,Sundance, Jacuzzi , D1 Marquis full foam are not that different i believe these top brands and including Artic are all within dollars of each other7[going back to that,,,wood frames there is nothing wrong with that,,,if there is no moisture present on the inside the exterior should not fail, if the outside is subjected to say snow ( like we get) or the sun directly hitting during the summer, Arctics will not last any better than these other brands,,, again i think a company using a recycled product to build their exterior it will last since the recycled product has the u.v inhibitors in it already,Summitman, I see your points you are defending your brand, which is good i would do the same, But again this thread is how it can be spun,,The features you say i do not believe make them better than D1, Sundance, Jacuzzi, Hot Springs, Clearwater, Caldera, Marquis, i think they are all about the same catergory, just have different shapes , looks and operation.... Also that yellow color response damn it is hard to read without highlighting...
What about Arctic?I'm totally biased - I work at the factory building Arctic Spas. They are fantastic!
jg5. Cheaper to run. In hot places you are probably right, only a few dollars difference. But its far from hot here in Canada most of the year and in many places in the world. When its 20 below Celcius our hot tubs run away from the pack in terms of energy efficiency. Thats because everything is within the insulated areas, not just the body of water. I just learned recently that even the spa control pack is a significant source of heat loss. I had no idea. Most control packs are right next to a thin door or panel with little or no insulation. And many of these panels are even vented! Alright if you are from SoCal but not if you have winter. And regarding the California Energy Commission standards- they are very weak.
