Hydropool Hot Tub Opinion Please!!

(1/4) > >>

A Rai:
Hi there,

Looking to purchase a new hot tub, after reviewing all the nearby companies I have set my mind on Hydropool. I'm sold on the self-cleaning hot tub, and the fact that there is the thermal insulation so leaks are easier to find they said. They are also made in Canada, about 2 hours away from where I live.

Now aside from all that, I just wanted some unbiased opinions about Hydropool and if anyone has had any experience. I am looking at the 670 in specific.

Thanks!
A Rai!

The Wizard of Spas:
I always stress that you're buying a spa for comfort, relaxation, and therapy.  That should be at the top of the list.  While the items you mentioned might move the needle for you, if the tub doesn't perform to your standards, or is not comfortable to sit in, does that other stuff matter?

This is not a statement / judgment on Hydropool.  I say this about any spa out there.  Don't bury the lede.  Go for comfort and ergonomics, then investigate the dealer, wet test if possible.  Then go down the list and see the ancillary things and how that may be advantageous.

I hope this helps. Good luck moving forward.

All tubs are self cleaning in a sense. A Hydropool isn’t going to be any easier or harder to clean or keep water clear. The thermal insulation if done correct can be a good way to insulate a tub but give me a full foam tub any day of the week especially in colder environments. Yes it will be easier to repair a tub not fully insulated but it’s also more likely that you would have too. Another nice thing about full foamed tubs is it helps support all the plumbing lines in the tub. What other options do you have?  Have you tried any of the tubs you are considering out yet?

IMO the self cleaning is marketing bs.

Nothing against Hydropool, I've never actually seen on in person.  But that self cleaning thing, is nothing more than marketing and should have zero weight in your decision.  Also not a fan of non-full foamed hot tubs.  Being serviceable is great but keep this in mind.  Perimeter insulation is based on the idea that you keep the heat in and the cold out and unless there is no air transfer, the system is compromised and not as efficient as claimed.  Plus, the unsupported plumbing and the warmer environment the pumps and electronics are in can lead to premature failure.

Now, if the Hydopool meets your needs the most (comfort, therapy, price, etc) then by all means, buy on that basis.  Just don't do so because of the fancy marketing, which in my opinion, is all the points mentioned are.
