Hot Springs vs Arctic
retiredmt:
Hi everyone, I just joined. AM big believer in these forums especially when moderated. I have a question, although I see there has been some discussion. I am building in the mountains in Montana (8500') and am looking at adding a hot tub (outdoors). Since there are two companies that sell near me, I want to stay with them. They are Hot Springs and Arctic. I've spent time at both places and am leaning towards the Arctic. But I am also looking for opinions from readers. Please let me know what you think, or what your experience has taught you. Thanks
P.S. I am focusing on salt water

Both solid brands. If your focused to Arctic because it will be more efficient it won't be.

The reason I am focusing on Arctic is because of the supposed type of insulation and accessibility to all of the pumps. I heard that the Hot Springs is more prone to freezing.

Both are good options and the negativity is just salesmanship. You should base your choice on comfort with the dealer to follow through before & after the sale on their warranty/statements/promises (how long has each dealer been at that store and with that product?), results of dry & wet testing, which has the design setup/features you like best, what kind of deal you think you're getting...

Let me guess, the Arctic guy told you this?
Both brands insulate differently, neither better than the other. Access to equipment is the same on both. I would say the Arctic is more prone to leaking because of less plumbing support. Hot water will freeze at the same pace no matter what tub it sits in.
