TALKCalgary.com:
Still in the midst of buying our first hot tub I was wondering how many manufacturers adopt ISO900? Also, are there any "independent" reviews on manufactures?

I don't think any of them adopt ISO900, but Sundance for one is ISO9000 certified, which I beleive is about 10 times bette than ISO900.   ;)

There is very little out there in the way of independent reviews of spas or spa makers.  

My advice, for what it's worth, is to stick with a nationally known brand, that has a reliable dealer in your area.

I second that!

Unfortunately there are no independent reviews of Spa Manufactures.  I have emailed Consumers Reports and have asked them to do a report on Spas.  No word yet.

So the only way to get good information is to read this Form and others Spa Forms and it will soon become apparent which manufactures build quality and which ones are just marketing machines, to separate you from your hard earned money.

Also have a look at these other Hot Tub Forums:

hey Steve as a Realtor in Calgary how much value do you think a hot tub adds to the sales appeal/value of a  home?

Just a little primer on ISO 9000

It is a quality control and documentation standard used by many manufacturers. It documents the quality proceedures used to manufacturer a product, but is not a guarentee that the manufactured item is a "quality product". These two statements on a superficial level may appear a bit contradictory, so let's give an extreme example.

In essence you can state that you manufacture a hot tub using flour glue, toothpicks and plastic wrap, but as long as you follow those exact procedures in manufacturring of the product, you are ISO 9000 compliant.
