I have not been to this site in years. I have a 20 year old Thermospas Manhattan tub. I still works.. One of the pumps has been broken for years but we do not really use the pumps so I decided not to fix it.
My tub I think uses a ton of electricity... I would not be surprised if it costs me $150-$200 a month. I live in NY and keep it heated all the time.
I don't use the tub that much but my adult sons and their use it.
I was thinking I could replace my existing spa with a new one and the savings on electric would pay for the tub.
I don't want to pay 25K for a spa. I found one from D\r. Wellness which seems very reasonable. Also the costco spas are incredibly reasonable as well.
Has anyone replaced their older tub with a new tub and saved a lot on elenctic?
One other thing. I am on a time of use plan with my tub which means that the electric is much less after 10 pm so would want a tub that lets you program the time it runs.

Hello,
My 2nd set of moto massage jets on my Hot Spring Envoy just broke. The heads popped off. When I use that seat, I close all other jets on that line and direct all water pressure to the moto massage jets. I also turn on the air.
Is that more power than they can handle?

Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and am hoping you all could give me some guidance. I have a 2011 HS Sovereign that is in need of a new cover. I live in PA and don't know if I should just go with the Hot Spring replacement cover or look at the aftermarket options out there. I am concerned about the bad reviews I see for basically every aftermarket I see, but I am also interested in saving money and thought maybe the aftermarket would provide better insulation than the HS cover. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. One last thing I do have the Hot Springs lifter so the cover will need to have the plates installed for the lifter.
Thank you for your help,
Chris

Depends on how long you are willing to hang on to it before selling it. Sit on it till you get the right person, which may take over a year, or ask maybe $1000?
It may seem too cheap, but even for a cool tub like you have, its finding the right person who is willing to pay. Especially with so many hot tubs for free on FB and the like.

We just had our Bullfrog X7L delivered and set up last week. We had a jacuzzi before we got this one so we're not new to hot tubs. We have the upgraded touchscreen panel and on the delivery order, we (apparently) have Premium LED lighting. Great! But, if you select the light bulb on the panel, the only choice that comes up is "interior." You touch that and immediately the lights come on both outside and inside and the colors just cycle through, one after the other. My question is, how do you stop it on any one color? And secondly, is the only way you can have the exterior lights on is to have the interior lights on also? Our dealer has no clue, and I have e-mailed the company to which the tech said, "the lights are controlled with one button" to which I responded "how?" and he has not contacted me back again. Any ideas?

Oh yeah, I haven't gone on here much in the last 10 years. It was a blast in the old days with Terminator, Chas, Spatech_tuo, Dr Spa, yourself and quite a few others. I learned a lot from this forum in the past.

It was wonderful and fun but, haven't used it in three years. Had it for 10. Kept almost entirely out of the sun. Has always had water in it. Great shape.
The same tub, stove, benches, lid, steps, etc cost $7135 new. Trying to get some idea what to price it at. I was hoping to get around $3000...perhaps a bit more. I just have no idea what people are willing to pay for this style. Great for those who have off-grid places.
What do you all think?

Yes, it's normal for the jets or circulation pump on your LS100DX hot tub to run periodically as it heats up to the set temperature.

My LS100DX was just filled up about 3 hours ago. Starting water temp was about 70f and have it covered and set to heat to 100f. Since I plugged it in, it’s warming slowly which is expected, but the jets keep kicking on. Are the jets (or similar noises) supposed to run while it is getting up to temp? If I go and shut them off, they will restart within 10 mins. They have been running for about 2 hours straight now.
