We have experienced glue failure at all joints in our hot tub. We've heard that Sundance in 1996 had a glue supplier that had faulty glue. They have not stood behind this problem for us and repairs are costly.

Date Purchased: 10/96
Price Paid: $6500
Recommend: No
Pros:
A nice hot tub when it worked.

Cons:
Glue join failure has been a problem.

Our 2004 Optima was delivered July 14, 2004. We had our first soak the next evening. Everything is working GREAT! It feels excellent and relaxing, the entire family is thrilled. The air diverters are variable not just on/off like Jacuzzi. The foot jets are 2per seat, not just 1 big one like Jacuzzi. Most of the jets are also adjustable by turning the stainless steel ring. The air blower injects just a bit of cool air and it feels great contrasted with hot water. The LED lighting looks fantastic even with our Marine Blue shell. The filters must be working well becuz its Day 6 here and our water is crystal clear even after about 16hrs of use with 3-6ppl.

Date Purchased: 07/04
Price Paid: $7500
Recommend: Yes
Pros:
Powerful, sturdy, lots of variations for jet settings, Vortex jets are super, great whirlpool action, foot jets are strong and plentiful, there is an endless variety of jet strength and positioning, air blower is a very cool effect and feels great too, titanium heater, stainless steel trim on jets/handrails, LCD panels.

Cons:
Diverter noise when in center position, no ABS pan, waterfall would be nice tho not necessary.


Very Nice Spa

My wife, my teenaged son and myself wet tested this spa and all agreed that this tub was very good overall - but not fantastic (see pros & cons below). All three of us just could not get perfectly comfortable at the same time in the seats no matter how we moved around. What makes it difficult is that my wife is a shortie at 5', my son is 5'10 and I'm 5'9", but then again this is a common problem that we've been running into when wet testing tubs. Don't get me wrong though, the Optima is nice and will probably be on most peoples final list when deciding to buy. We wet tested the Sweetwater Bahia right after the Optima and found it to be very much alike and with the Bahia being 2 grand less... we rate it above the Optima.

Roomy
