Welcome to our forum.
hi,we just purchased a st. andrew and love it. It is a 2010 model with the saltwater system. I don't know anything about the Master Spa(never heard of it or seen it) other than on the forums. so it must be something available in the US? The jets are awesome and for my husband and I we don't usually turn on the air because it will push us out of our seats.Hope this helps a bit. We got our St. Andrew for $9200 + taxes that included everything, delivery, steps, cover and lifter.
hi tired and confused,We are from Canada so ours was purchased up here. We went with the saltwater system because it doesn't use the chlorine as we have young children and we don't like the smell of chlorine. the dealer we bought it from up here had the salt system and in another room had a chlorine system running wow what a difference. we walked to the side of the store with the chlorine and you could smell it right away vs. the salt system(bromine) had very little to no smell. We also liked the salt system because you don't have to change your water as often, they told us up to a year, vs. chlorine every 3 mths just because of the build-up(I know thats the wrong term but hopefully you get the idea) so right there you save on some water cost and of course the heating of the tub. Now keep in mind we just got our tub less than a week ago, not sure what the electrical cost will be.I hope that helps.like i said we didn't really see any master spas up here so I don't know what they offer. We were trying to decide between the st andrew and the beachcomber(but they seemed to have a lot of extra costs on top of the cost of the tub)Good Luckand keep us posted.

Nikir,I just found out the Saltwater System is a "System" (of course, lol) and got the price to add that...We do very much appreciate your insight.Thanks.TAC

Ever see what happens to steel when it is in a wet environment? Can you say rust and deterioration. Loose rivets and screws rattling thin tin, busted spot welds. Wood frames last longer than the tub ever will. Why tout steel as a good thing?Never could figure this one out. I would think steel would work fine for a frame but have not one single advantage over treated wood. Now if we were talking an full ABS frame!
