Atera AnyTemp Spas

[t3aggie]

Does anyone have any information or feedback about the Atera AnyTemp spa with the chiller and heater.  I am close to my decision as I have looked at Jacuzzi 470 and Hot Springs Envoy and i like both, and will be looking at the Caldera Niagara this weekend.  This Atera spa with the chiller seemed like it would be really nice in the Hot Dallas summer, but I can not find to much information about them(quality, service, etc.).

I saw those at a pool and spa show a few years ago...they had a bunch of goat-smellin' little penguins swimming around in the tub.  It looked like a neat idea, but the thought of all that penguin squat getting recirculated via bypass valves was a pretty disgustin' notion!

I would be extremely hesitant towards purchasing what most would consider to be a gimmicky spa.  Although they may be fine mechanically, they will most likely have a difficult time surviving long-term in this particular economic climate, especially when so many of the bigger spa companies are seeing dramatic reductions in numbers.  There are many manufacturers that are hanging on by their fingernails nowadays.

Good luck in your continued search.  Gig 'em!
