Artic Spa Grizzly
406soaker:
We do live in a very cold climate. The Artic Spa is an ABS shell, where the Hotsprings is a fiber glass. Is there anything to be worried about in terms of an ABS shell?
Hottubguy:
Have you wet tested either. Your getting hung up in some stuff that doesn’t really matter much. Two different manufacturing processes. Done properly they will last for years. Being In a cold environment do you lose power often? If so I would prefer the Insulation on a hot spring versus a arctic due to the fact it’s fully insulated versus the perimeter insulation. Have you wet tested either?

How's your car's interior panels holding up? Any problem with your car trim panels? Most of your car's interior plastic trim panels are made from sheets of ABS, at least half as thick as the basepan of your Artic Spa.
That said, I'm fairly certain the basepan on my new 2019 Hotspring Jetsetter is ABS, not fiberglass
406soaker:
Both are display models that aren’t filled. I’ve only been able sit in each one. We lose power a few times a year, but maybe 12 hours tops. They only have the higher end/ bigger tubs running. Would it be out of line for me to ask them to get them running so I have the ability to wet test it? The Flair is the last model they have, 10.8 cash or 12.8 financed.
swilly1000:
Not at all out of line. Wet testing is the single best thing you can do in evaluating your purchase decision. If the dealer can't or won't allow that, that's BIG.
Would you buy a $10K+ car after just sitting in it? Or would you insist on driving it?
