Title: Eco Spa
Post by: Francis325 on August 09, 2015, 02:23:58 pm

Wife and I saw a hot tub yesterday at local fair made by Eco Spa. The model we looked at is called a smart 6 and has a hard cover. Think they are made in Sacramento ,ca   Does anyone know about this brand?

They look like a coffin. How much was it?  I've seen then at home shows. Look pretty basic but don't know of anybody whoever bought one

The covers are known to warp.  If you read their warranty they will even tell you that warping is not covered.

They wanted 5,500 for the floor model.  Seemed high to me.

Can someone recommend a good hot tub that seats 6 for 5,000 or less that is eco friendly and has good warranty.

I would recommend the Celebrity series from Marquis Spas. The Broadway model will fit up to 5 and close to your budget, the Hollywood model will seat one more, and be a little bit more in price. Lots of features for the price, energy efficient, and quality construction:

Thanks. Are hot tubs with 110 v under powered for Utah weather? Does 220 drive power bill above $100 month? Read that 110v made not be able to keep water at 104 and still drive pumps.

Bullfrog is a Utah based manufacturer.  In their X series, you could probably get close to $5k.  You may have to stretch a little bit.

Markee gave you a good option and Nordic would be another good option

A 220V tub will be more efficient to operate than a 110v on a cool evening. 110v works fine for idling. Heating faster is the biggest advantage to 220v

If you can get a Grand Cayman for that price, jump on it!
