Welcome to our forum.
Hey swilly just curious as what the master spa has done to your hydro bill this winter. I am using a hot springs flash on avg. 6 times a week our hydro bill has not really been affected at all. So just curious what the master spa has done to your hydro bill. I am extremely pleased with the flash as far as energy efficiency goes as our hydro bill has not been negatively effected. Pretty much pleased with all facets of the flash it is a great product. For reference I am located just south of toronto so pretty cold days here as well.
Tub has been in service for six months now and will report back soon on hydro bill increase over last year. I live in Toronto on the Scarborough Bluffs. I'm expecting about $40/mth which doesn't bother me in the least. I like massage therapy and will gladly pay that amount. Tub available 24/7 for $500ish/year, or the cost of five massages/year from a RMT.I didn't buy the tub to save money. I will happily pay for performance.
Cal spa's were a nightmare for us. They were one of the worst companies I ever dealt with.
Point taken however how many end users do you find posting bad reviews about Master? The only end user reviews I see about the company are glowing.

The only end user reviews I see about the company are glowing. You didn't look very hard then. On this very site there are quite few user reviews under the review section that are 1 star. Their BBB page has more complaints than the manufacturers commonly recommended on here. They do have a lot of good reviews on consumer affairs which has the first 3 google results when you search, but dig a little deeper and consumer affairs is not a trusted review site. It's a paid reputation management service. https://www.truthinadvertising.org/consumer-affairs-com/Funny that the 2 brands most commonly referred to as being shady on here (cal spas and master) have great consumer affairs reviews. Turns out, they pay a lot of money to hide from their reputation. I hate to keep beating a dead horse, but they really aren't as good all around as many other brands and they most definitely are not as well insulated or efficient as the top tier brands. Their water treatment system is just not as good as other options. Their cabinets are cheap and flimsy. And as we've beaten into the ground they are shady. There are much worse options out there but, having sold them in the past I am confident in my opinion that they just don't stack up to most of the other manufacturers I have worked with in numerous ways.

Plus which they are split between awesome and s**t. Take that with a grain of salt.Other links please.
