Welcome to our forum.
THANK YOU for all the awesome feedback!! I remember now why I loved this site so much our first time around. Wet tested tonight and we loved it. Now trying to justify... so how long should a hot tub last? Our Optima is 15 years old and we moved it with us once to a new home. We have replaced ozonator twice, circulation pump twice, heater twice (this winter we almost lost tub due to an electrical issue); we have replaced cover 3 times and our cover lift has virtually fallen off due to the body rot. We had mice damage so had to replace lots of the interior foam with spray foam. Our exterior and our stairs have basically rotted from New England winters. When do you stop pumping money into the old and upgrade to the new? The new tub is composite exterior so it would last forever. Great deal and 5 year warranty. Thoughts?
