Welcome to our forum.
I can only speak from my local experience regarding Coleman. The local area actually has two dealers who are both on the shady side and don't take care of their customers...so we end up working on some of them. I have seen an unusually high number of heater/pump problems. I am also not thrilled with their covers. They do not always exactlly match the spa. Nothing personal though! :-) If you are having no problems then it was the perfect spa for you!
I've not had a problem with the tub or my dealer. I did have a crack in the plastic peice on the control panel and my dealer replaced it with no problem so I've not had a problem with any of the parts or my dealer. I think truly that if your happy with your dealer your going to be happy with your tub.
OOG is a newbie so you should let him know how long you have had your tub problem free, because of your status on this board with the amount of posts you have it looks like you have had a tub for many years. I do not wish you any troubles but to make a statement like that without quantifying the the time you have had the tub is misleading. To have a tub problem free for 10 years is great, to have one problem free for 4 months is expected.Ray
Ray:Gee did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Sooooory that I didn't STATE how long I've had my tub!! I'm not TRYING to MISLEAD anyone to the fact that if your going to make a statement about Coleman product failing to pass any tests with in the limits of parts and when they fail then that to me is a digratory statement over the entire Coleman Brand! I've had my tub 2 months today and I couldn't be happier! Would I buy another tub from K2 Spas in Billings MT?? YES....Do I really give a rats pattotie what others think of the Coleman brand of Spas? HELL NO!
OK why isn't it proper for Backpains to gush over her new Coleman spa, but it's OK for someone else to clasify Coleman as a inferior brand due to his personal feelings with the local dealers in his area.
I think it's fine for her to "gush". I also see Rayman's point. It's valid. Friday: we need to chill out.
The step sits ontop of the spapack and screw into the side of the tub, it is as sealed as any other tub out there. No tub is sealed tight. The spapack has a floor to it as well so the pump and heater are not sitting on the ground, under the step is also where you drain it. I meant to comment about the step in my last post regarding it's height, they do sell a smaller add on step but we felt it was not necessary. We have 3 kids, 12, 10 and 7 and no problems getting in and out. Ray
Rayman;With all due respect, I do beleive that Backpains is just as qualified to make these statements as you are to encourage folks to buy Beachcomber like you did in this thread: If fact, in this thread you stated that the Beachcomber tub, once the screws are tightened, seals the equipment as well as any other tub.How, as a owner of two Beachcombers in one summer, can you make such a statement? Have you owned other tubs? You made this statement, with 150 posts and critisize Backpains for making her statement that she has had no troubles as being misleading somehow. :-/
