How long have you had a spa

[Chris_H]

I don't own a spa.  I am still trying to figure out what is the best hottub.  A whole year on this site and I am still confused.

By the way, I blame this on anyone with over a 1000 post count.

I don't trust them either!!

According to whom, the Artcic saleman?

According to the majority of people that own Arctic, have ever seriously looked at Arctic, or those that repair Arctic. Relax - no ones slagging your product.

I'm sure some of the Arctic people would say that. And the Sundance people would have their opinion, and the Catalina people, etc. I just would prefer certain superlatives be left at home, especially when we start with the "BEST" claims. Relax - I'm merely "slagging" the use of such ridiculous claims of superiority.

We've had our Optima for 10months now and still enjoy it like Day 1.  We are in it almost every night.

MasterSpa LSX.....first spa......installed 7/11/04.....so far, issue-free.....how did we live without it all those years?

2004 Optima... installed in Aug 2004.  No problems and it still gets used daily.

My first and second spas were in-ground type built by a local swimming pool contractor.  Gunite and tile.    Heater, pump and filter all above grade.  Total time with them was about 7 years.  Then a pool contractor told me to quit fooling around and to buy a proper spa.  That was almost a year and a half ago.  I had the Caldera for almost 1 year, and now the HS for about 4 months.

Got our new tub 5 days ago.  Been in it everyday.  Still trying to get use to keeping the chemicals straight, but I'm getting the feel for it now.  Shouldn't be too hard and well worth it.

had our caldera niagra for almost a month now. very happy(and often wet). newness stage was using it every day, sometimes twice a day. now, we have leveled off, to 5-6 times a week. except for the afternoon and evening dips yesterday..... LOL
only con so far is that the house is too far away. the addition is not going to be done until july, so instead of the back door being just 5 ' from the tub, we have to run (when its cold) almost 25' whole feet to the current back door. we debated waiting until the addition was done to install the new tub, but figured, what the "heck", the builder is insured......

Which did you end up with the Grandee or the Niagra?
