Welcome to our forum.
Hi everyone, I just joined. AM big believer in these forums especially when moderated. I have a question, although I see there has been some discussion. I am building in the mountains in Montana (8500') and am looking at adding a hot tub (outdoors). Since there are two companies that sell near me, I want to stay with them. They are Hot Springs and Arctic. I've spent time at both places and am leaning towards the Arctic. But I am also looking for opinions from readers. Please let me know what you think, or what your experience has taught you. ThanksP.S. I am focusing on salt water
The reason I am focusing on Arctic is because of the supposed type of insulation and accessibility to all of the pumps. I heard that the Hot Springs is more prone to freezing.
Tman122, you're right. This came from the salesman. My concern is that this tub will be sitting outside where the winter can get to -20 degrees and also a couple hundred inches of snow. That's why I was wondering if Arctic's insulation was actually any better than Hot Springs. Also that's why I'm reaching out to members here, BECAUSE of what the salesman stated. Appreciate the feedback. Thanks
Which Hot Spring model are you considering? They use a different insulation on the Highlife versus limelight or Hot Spot. The insulation on a Highlife series is a very dense foam that is tough to work through if you had a jet leak or something like that. The Limelight/Hot Spots use what's called fibre Core insulation. It's a wool like material that makes fixing leaks quite easy. Its easy to pull out and replace
