This spa is a great spa. Arctic spas use the heat generated from the motors to heat the water (in combination with a heater as well). This philosphy can be argued, but it does work. Even in the coldest of temperatures, the spa maintains it's heat. Maintenance is a breeze and keeping the water quality at optimum has been no harder than adding shock and testing the water after use. Piece of cake. The spas can be purchased with one two or three motors depending on the model you purchase. And, you can add jets in the field. This is a great feature for the price-conscious that may want to get a base model and add to it later. The wood cabinetry is beautiful; but does take some maintenance if you want to keep it nice looking. They don't offer a plastic option. They also feature a full wood subfloor that isn't an add-on as well as the cover is much thicker than the standard covers. This goes with the philosophy of heat rises; so keep it in from the top. Overall, this spa is definitely worth looking into.
