Coast Spas
Dr. Spa™ Ret.:
The intent of the "catches" are simply to meet ASTM standards, and prevent a child under the age of five from gaining entry into the spa. It's what there is. If you wanted something more heavy duty, you'd be looking at adding at least $20 to the cost of the cover, and NO spa manufacturer would EVER pay that.

ejf The Spa Guy, you are correct. Coast made the switch from Cal Cover to Sunstar in 2009.

Many opinions on how to do the negative edge better than it already is but with each of those opinions here is a point being missed, it to give the impression that the water is falling off the edge of the world just as they do in swimming pools and the likes. You also gain a much better view than with a traditional tub, either to look at friends that aren't in the tub with you and hold a conversation or if you are lucky enough to have a position at your home where you can plant the tub and take in the countryside. In my case I positioned my tub so that it was looking out at my patio set, it's great for summer parties when some are in the tub and others just sitting around having a drink.
I think was are getting hung up on whether the seal is great or not, frankly I don't think it's that much worse than the rest but the bottomline is how much it costs per day to run compared to traditional tubs of similar quality and based on my experience against a HotSprings tub the cost difference is very small.

I mean, sure it would help with keeping the water level consistant but I can't help but think that visually it would be a bust.

Yes but that non-flat bartop will certainly lead to more sealing issues as one Coast owner had already noted versus going with a flat bartop. I'm not a fan of compromising energy effciency to get a better "look" of the spa. That may certainly help you on the sales floor and I understand that appeal to the dealer at point of sale but style over substance doesn't help the homeowner long term.
