Questions about Arctic Spas
Summitman:
Ill post pics tomorrow when I get my camera into the store, of someone setting in the seats. Trust me your lungs are NOT horizontal, unless of course I dont know what horizontal is.
The spa is extremely comfortable and all the people that have bought it from me have LOVED it. But im sure you know more than I, since youve been to so many home shows, and worked on so many. Your the "spaman"
Water Boy:
Nice pics sawman!! Doesnt matter what spa, you name the brand, and look at reviews from people on any spa forum, and you will hear people saying that they float out in their loungers. Sometimes it is just the person, not the spa. Doesnt matter if it is a HS, D1, Jacuzzi, or Arctic. Some people just float in loungers, and some do not. That is why some people just say screw the lounger, and buy a HS, D1, Jacuzzi, or Arctic Spa without a lounger.
Jacuzzi Jim:
My friend knew a guy at another dealership in Seattle, he told people fat floats and you probably wouldn't want a lounger!! He had a phenomenal close ratio. And he didn't sell many loungers.

It's true. The Arctic line was engineered for maximum efficiency in cold climates. Cooling the spa http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/View.aspx?id=45698&p=0456#article123571 is recommended for areas with a hot summer or in hot climates.
Cover flaps instructions are here: http://www.industrymailout.com/Industry/LandingPage.aspx?id=132276&p=1. Don't know how many people actually have this issue but I understand that the covers now come self-draining (can't confirm at the moment). The CastCore cover still remains one of the strongest and most energy-efficient covers AFAIK.

That is all fine and dandy, however I have delt with more than 10 Arctic spas in the Denver and Colorado Springs areas that have had problems overheating in the summer. I guess global warming has included to be in the "hot climates". What is never addressed is what happens to equipment packs when it gets 250 degrees inside one of these cabinets. I can appreciate the pumps that you have added, it is a real solution toward preventing the pump problems that go along with extreme heat conditions in the cabinet.
I have only seen a hand full of covers that build up water in the skirt, however what I have seen in several is that black mold grows inside the skirt and also causes a mildew smell.
