I have one and I love it. I do repairs on it myself. Not for the faint of heart. The main motor bearing started leaking as witnessed by water under the spa pak when in high speed mode. I took the pack out and brought the motor to a repair shop and charged me $167. The dealer told me the repair would be nearly $1,000! And he said that with a smile.

Mine has fiber lights, misters, 2 4.5 pumps and a blower. I like it a lot, very powerfull but also expensive to keep hot. I hooked it up to solar panels. Theres a lot you can do with it.
Good Luck
Chuck
