Welcome to our forum.
The pie is certainly spread out but not every slice is as appetizing as the next.
Wood or steel would be great if it was done the right way. Problem is I don't know of any spa company doing it the "right'' way. If they did, the only thing left to sell would be replacement parts that where used up. Or they might sell a new tub if you where a first time buyer or looking to buy a new model spas.I would think the shell and framing could be made to last 25 years are longer with very little cost upgrade.But you made things to last forever, we all would be looking for jobs. A little hot dipped galvinizing and treated wood goes a long way.

Well besides this site, I do not typically hear to many negatives about the Arctics. Quite the opposite actually. And yes, Arctic is selling plenty of spas.
They did not impress me because of their approach to compare their product with the other locally available brands and how superior their's was. Rather than focusing on the quality of their product they chose to trash the others and that is a big turn off for me.
