You didn’t mention what model or price they were asking.

To be honest I had never looked at their web site until now and like others got a kick out of the video. The cost of operation was a head turner and they even embellished it more by stating the cost of operation of the competition as 10x. They showed some minerals in a bag being placed in the tub and then showed using some gunk on each other to scrape away dead skin. That may be well and good in your shower or bathtub but who the heck wants to do that in a closed water system that only gets drained 3 or 4 times a year. Anything you leave in the tub has to be filtered out and destroyed with sanitizer. It is bad enough what normally accumulates let alone suggesting that. We shower right before we use our tub each and every time and that goes a long ways to having a healthy tub. You don’t want makeup, body lotions and soap products in the tub if you can help it.

I don’t have a problem as some may with low-tech controls on equipment. If it means you can fix things yourself etc. But for the most part new-tech is better and no longer a strong advertising approach to say/brag you don’t have computers in your product.

Just the look of the tubs in their web site look like they haven’t changed much in the last 20 years. Little dated.

The bottom line is a hot tub is a big box of hot water with a couple pumps and jets. it is not rocket science. If they are local and no one else is and they have amazing service and low enough prices and a good warranty then it could be a way to go.

Hot tubs are 100% a luxury item. No one needs one. We looked at it that way and bought what we felt met our likes the best. If there really isn’t any other game in town then you might have to give them a try.
