I've been slimed (with full foam insulation)

I guess it's bound to happen sooner or later, or there would be a lifetime warranty on the insulation.

Wet foam is how we locate a leak. But it's only wet from the leak down hill below the leak to a way out. I've repaired many leaks in foam and have a hot wire knife to cut it tons neater than that guy. Over my 30 year career I would say I dug foam 10 times. Only one was a normal leak. The rest were freeze damage. And no, it's not bound to happen. Most never leak and live a long happy life until they are retired.
Professor Spa:
30 years fixing hot tubs and fullfoam is not the nightmare its made out to be and they leak a lot less than spas with unsupported plumbing and especially if they clamp the plumbing lines.
Fact: Full foam coast 3-4x more to make that the other methods... The real reason everyone does not full foam is the cost...

This one's my favorite. ::)
Leak repair: "How we repair a leak, and keep the cost down... we drilled us a couple little holes in the side like this"... uh, those aren't little, and that's more than a couple.

You obviously don't need any assistance here so just buy a spa and then let us know what you endorse as the best choice out there based on your impeccable research.

Why quote me in this topic if you're going to talk about another one? Now you're so far off topic it's spilling over into this one. Get a grip.
Personally I wouldn't buy a spa, but I'm just a nice guy, and hopefully I can save someone else some trouble for being able to keep one working for them. I'll probably skip the full foam.
