Seeing the post where the new owner was looking for help determining the age of his Hot Spring prompted me to go out a take a pic of my old beater. Â Please keep the laughter down to a minimum. Â I got it about 7 years ago when a customer bought a new one and our service guys "hauled away" his old one. Â I paid for the repair costs which were only about $300. Â And yes that is TIPTOP on it. Â I added that a year later when our warehouse went though a cleaning and they found it. Â

That's a beautiful spa my friend. I have dozens of customers who still use their 20+ year old HS spas every day. I've got one on the deck at my store that was built the month before I graduated high school, April 1985, and it runs like a champ!

According to a guy in Colorado Hotspring Spas donâ€™t last that long. I guess he is wrong.

You have a very nice spa.

I may give you guys a hard time about Hot Spring now ( cuz I have to) But there is no disputing the "energizer bunny" performance of the "older crowd". And the TipTop is awesome. I never have to worry about snow or kids climbing on it. In fact, I'm 220.... OK I used to be 220..... once...... a long time ago...at birth....and I can stand in the middle.

If you ever need some new arms for that tip top, I think I may have some of the remaining few out there.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away Hot Spring used to make a 1 piece Rovel hard cover that hinged off to 1 side. It was bulky and expensive. We used to sell them for something like $1200 extra and few people bought them.

It's funny you say that cuz a few years ago one of our service guys snagged both arm assemblies off a customers spa that they were trowing away and he gave them to me. They are now shrink wrapped on a shelf in my garage...just in case.

thanks.

Hey, I think that's a great spa...and made even better by the fact that it's still working. I hope I have my Epic for 20 years!!

I also graduated highschool in 1985 and using that year of highschool graduation as a mark of logevity really just made me feel old.
