My "Vintage" Spa REPLACED 06-2013!
Spoiledrotten:
It's a 1994 model Vita. It's our first and is serving us very nicely as a beginner, "learn the ropes" spa.
I realize it's not state of the art, but it does provide a wonderful place to relax and get away from the rest of the world while sipping on some good old home made wine.
We've added a gazebo with mosquito netting around to keep those MS state birds (mosquitos) away from our little paradise.

28 years old and that tub looks amazing - WOW - have you done much to the wood sides - they look to be in great shape. I remember our chat about the hanging light, but never saw your tub up close; that deserves some kind of collector's plate on it! ;D
Very nice!
Spoiledrotten:
Thanks, Johnny. It was purchased and put in a sunroom for all of those years by the original owner, so it didn't get sun faded or bleached out. When we got it, we put Orange Glow on the redwood and viola, it look showroom clean. We're pretty proud of it. I'd love to get a larger one, but the real redwood sides look so much better than the simulated wood grain stuff they put on so many of the newer ones. I'm sure I'll go that route one day, but for now, I'm going to stick with this one. Runs like a top, too! It just needs a few replacement jets, but at its age, I'm a little scared to try to put too much pressure on unscrewing the old ones. Just don't want to damage it.

I'm fixing to purchase one of these to put on my spa to control the blower motor.

My blower has two speeds; wide open and off. With this control, I can dial the amount of turbulence I want in the spa, from bubbling action coming up through the water to full blown, water in your face, action. Got any comments on that idea?
Spoiledrotten:
I got the fan controller installed and it works perfectly. Just what I needed to slow that blower down some.
