AutoFresh (so far)

[hottubdan]

As many of you know, AutoFresh is the new Hot Spring Spa automatic chemical system.  It automatically doses BaquaSpa core products.  

Our dealership has multiple stores.  We have 2 installed in showrooms so far.

I also installed one at home and my partner has been beta testing for years.

What I have learned:

My partner went through many generations.  He has been using this version for a while now.  He has used chlorine, bromine and Baqua in the past.  So far this system is the best.

We have learned you have to take your time and follow instructions precisely to program.  So far so good in the showroom spas.  One is on a Sovereign, one on an Envoy.  We have been using the Envoy and the Sovereign does not get used.

I have had mine at home on a new Jetsetter for less than 2 weeks.  I am trying to use it as I think a customer would.  I balanced the water (not too precisely) and programed for lighter use than I have actually been using it.  So far the water is great, but it is fairly new water.  I had a small amount of waterline scum that wiped right off.  It was NOT the sticky Baqua goo.

We sold one unit.  Salesperson said it was an easy sale.  haven't delivered it yet.

I would be interested in any other dealer feedback and even more interested in spa owner feedback.

We have been so dang busy lately moving our 2 stores, doing the grand opening, having my boss's 50th birthday party, and delivering spas that I haven't even had a chance to get mine installed yet.  If and when I do (hopefully this week), I will do an online review with some pics for everyone.

That autofresh thing, in my opinion, is a waste of money.

It won't work on your spa, so in your case, I agree.

A lot of people are lazy and they don't care how much $$$ they shell out to make less work for themselves.

I know it's expensive, but how much is the Autofresh retailing for??

You know, a lot of people would say a spa is a waste of money.

You know, a lot of people would say a spa is a waste of money.

Anyone driving a car that sells for more than $10,000 new is wasting money.

Anyone who gets digital cable is wasting money.

Anyone who drinks anything other than water is wasting money.

Anyone who uses an air conditioner at any time and any place where the heat isn't life threatening is wasting money.

Anyone who pays to go out to dinner is wasting money.

If anyone can come up with an automated sanitizing system for spas that works as advertised, they will have provided a very desirable service (maybe not NEEDED but certainly wanted by enough people out there).

...

I would have to disagree on all but the dinner and cable ones. Some of those are just OUTRAGEOUS!?

You tell me. I'm not the one who's been in this biz for 20 years.
If I had to guess I'd say they are just as overpriced as that auto fresh system.

Happy Birthday, Randall.

We haven't seen Randall since he left with that stripper the other night, but I'll pass along the wishes if he turns up.
