The spas on that site don't look too bad. I didn't like the owner's attitude coming in here and ordering the removal. If Term wants to delete it, or have me delete it fine. We don't sensor opinions on hot tub related topics.
He hasn't been back since.
Good day to you folks. I ran across this forum while doing a search on Alps Spas. I read this thread with a bit of interest as approximately a decade ago I actually owned an Alps Spa which I purchased new from a dealer located in the Atlanta area. The name of the dealer was Extreme Pools and Spas. They promptly folded approximately a year after I purchased the spa. While the dealership experience was sketchy at best even when they were around, the actual Spa I owned was very nice. I owned it for just around three years until I sold the home where it was located. There were effectively two reasons I purchased an Alps. First, the "bang for the buck" seemed to be very good. I bought one the dealer had in stock and they were willing to let it go for a VERY reasonable price compared to other spas I had priced (probably because they were trying to financially tread water at the time I assume). Second, they were manufactured just outside of Atlanta in Gwinnett county so I could go directly to the factory if I needed assistance. The spa required service twice during those three years. The first was immediately following hook up when an air bubble clogged the lines. The second was approximately ten months into ownership when I had a problem with the control panel buttons. The factory sent somebody out to fix it immediately both times. As for insulation, I did not see a giant rise in my electric bill at the time. Now, as to whether or not the spa was as well insulated as others I could not say. I'm not an expert on this matter. It seemed moderately well insulated to me. I have moved a few times since then (I now reside in Tennessee and have very small children) and two of the homes I have owned have had hot tubs. Due to having the children we almost never used these two spas. One was a Dynasty (which was fine) and the other is a Leisure Bay (which has never worked and I believe will be chopped up and taken off the back porch in pieces in the next few months). The Alps seemed sturdier and better finished than either of these. As I was younger and single (with much more free time) when I owned the Alps I used my spa quite a bit back then. I even met the owner of the company at the Atlanta home show one time (I believe his first name was Jack....although I will never remember his last name). I realize that I have not provided a whole lot of information to go on and since I am a new member to this board that some will take my offering with a grain of salt. However, I simply wanted to impart my experience to you folks. Whether or not Alps makes a good product today...I honestly have no idea. I would look at them again due to my experience in the past. I simply wanted to share my experience (although in some ways it seems like I owned that spa a lifetime ago) with people who may be researching spas themselves. Best of luck to all of you folks
I own an old Coleman spa that reached its end. My sister has had an Alps Spa for about five years and i love it. I am going to give them a shot. I bought an Everest and should be getting it installed it installed in the next few weeks. Happy to post pics or feedback once i receive it.
I am wondering if this was creatively written by the marketing department in hopes that anyone that found this thread by Google searching, would see something somewhat positive about the product. This guy hasn't been back since Jan 2013. Just a thought.
