Welcome to our forum.
Hey guys, I was back and forth between major brands such as sundance, jazuzzi, artics spas and others. After tons of research I went with strong spas. I received the tub in early July and it's used almost every night. I went to the factory in Northumberland PA and got a full tour, showing the process and USA parts used. I felt that strong had the best features and quality parts for the money. The hard shell lid with a lifetime warranty is extremely easy to use and seems very durable. I got the tub fully loaded with every feature available including full LED's, blower pump, infinity sound with blue tooth, fold down step and hard shell cover. The cabinet has a lifetime warranty with an open insulation design that I really like. So far i haven't seen any spike in our electric bill, we will see how efficient it is in the dead of winter. I just want to let other potential buyers know that Strong is a good company with innovative features. I know when i was trying to get info on the brand not many people knew about them, so I wrote this little review to help with that. On a side note the manual says I should use granulated chlorine (which I use) and oxidizing shock. I was using the oxidizing shock for a while but did't get the clarity and sanitation I was looking for. I then bought HTH Spa chlorination shock it it's 10 times better and the water is crystal clear. I heard using chlorinating shock could dry out my seals and gaskets over time.. Is this true? It seems false since I'm using granulated chlorine anyway. I know HTH isn't the best product but it is specifically for spas... Why would them make something that will ruin the tubs.. Any info or input would be great. Thanks!
Hey Strong owners, Can you give us some updates now that winter has started? I live in Ga and I want especially to know about the power bill. I can live with a little lesser quality if I can work on the darn thing. I had a bullfrog that started leaking and it became a nightmare and eventually I cut into pieces and took it to the dump. My only worry is that to get the "ambient heat" from the pump to keep the water warm, does the pump have to run alot more? I only ran the BF in econo mode so it only ran 4hrs a day.thanksM.C
$100 per month sounds awfully high for a Strong Spa under average usage. I don't know how accurate that is.
