    Acrylic shell repair?

    My friend just bought a hot tub with a small crack in the acrylic shell. The tub was dropped and it cracked on a previous delivery. He got it for a great deal. The crack is on the outside of the spa, so it won't leak, and it's on the corner over the lip where it meets the skirt. It's a very...

    does grass clog up ozone?

    We had a kids b-day party last week. about 10 kids in and out of the hot tub most of the day after running through the yard. I found a lot of grass blades in the filter, and more in the intake. And now I'm noticing the ozone is not producing any bubbles. I had a look at the clear plastic (and...

    about bleach

    I'm thinking of using bleach, mostly because it saves $ and its easy to pick up and dont have to make a special trip to buy it. I get that it's chemically similar to the chlorine they sell at the spa store, so i don't need a long and technical explanation of the differences, thanks. I just want...

    cover locks

    I just took delivery of my new hot tub friday. A sundance optima and I love everything about it, with one small exception. the cover locking system. the standard plastic lock and key is very flimsy, and I already broke the key trying to lock and unlock. Does anyone have a better way to lock the...

    Deep freeze delivery

    I'm taking delivery next week but the forecast is extremely cold in the northeast (~15 degrees). I'm concerned about the process of taking delivery, getting it wired up, filling, and finally heating the tub in those conditions. Seems like the margin for error is much smaller than taking...

    What makes a top brand?

    I see a lot of people on this forum throw around the term 'top brand'. I'm wondering, is there a universally agreed upon criteria for a top brand? I see people rattle off the likes of Jacuzzi, Hot Springs, Marquis, etc. I'm clear on why these brands are superior to costo / home depot brands...

    I thought I had a deal on a hot tub today. The dealer sent an invoice, we agreed on a price over email. Fine. But then the dealer asked me to pay the entire price up front, by sunday, or the deal expires. He asked that I mail him a check. keep in mind I haven't actually signed any contract, nor...

They both appear to make a great hot tub, so I need some help deciding between the two. Any owners of these hot tubs around and can give advice? I...
