Welcome to our forum.
I can not understand why every spa wouldn't be built with a floor drain. Some of the major brands actually put them up the footwell wall, about an inch or so. They should atleast come with a wet/dry vac or something. :-? Am I making a big deal about this or do others feel the same way.
First of all, I thought all spas had floor drains. What brand do you have tileman? And why did Augustus think it was a HS?

And if his statement is correct, what does that tell a consumer about the strength of their shell if they would have to "beef it up" just to have a floor drain? Makes one wonder about #1
Bottom drains are SO overrated. Heck, any drains are overrated.In reality, no drains are needed. To me, it's so much easier throwing a couple of hoses into the tub and syphoning out the water without having to make a hose connection to an exterior drain access. And when the water level gets to the bottom, I usually jump in and position the hoses to the lowest points in the tub. I bet there's no more than a gallon or so left after all is said and done. This way, the drain access is always closed and never leaks as well. Works for me anyway...
Hey pkud, I like your style - even though we can agree to disagree at times. Ok, now do I understand correctly HS does NOT have floor drains. You're a dealer and you say no they don't. Augustus agrees with you (via a HS dealer) that they don't, but tileman says HS does have drains. I will assume you are correct pkud (I hope you know your own product.) So what ARE you saying about the strength of HS's shells? That indeed they are too weak to support a drain in the floor? If that's correct, I give you a lot of credit for the admission. (It sure beats some of the BS I read from some of the dealers on this site.)No, actually I liked some of the special features on the HS like the moto-massage and the sooothingseven. They're nice features and HS should be credited for inventing them. I have no problems with the brand other than I thought there were better values in the market like Artesian and Arctic.
