Hydropool Hot Tub Opinion Please!!

<< < (2/4) > >>

Tman122:
All tubs self clean (marketing BS)

Perimeter insulation relies on pump warmth to create R-Factor, great when the pumps are running, but what about the other 18-20 hours a day when they don't need to run? And why run them bathed in that warmth, they need cooling for longevity. In all my time as a repair guy non full foam tubs are not easier to repair when 90% of all leaks are in the equipment area. For a quality tech, insulation has very little to do with ease of repair. Leaks buried in insulation are very rare.

Hydropool, is it comfortable on your butt and wallet? Is the dealer quality? Sounds like he filled you with some BS already? Is the warranty comparable? What else is in your area to compare with?

Hydropool insulation...they plastic shrink wrap the spas plumbing then run a layer of reflective bubble wrap around that then also add a layer of the bubble wrap around the walls and floor. Now to get at a leaking jet body you have to cut through each layer and peel it open and repair. Then when finished you have to try and pull each layer back into place and tape it back together as best you can...if you remembered to bring the tape. Only builder I know of that does it this way. Seats are supported by a standing 2x4 with a 2x4 on it's flat on top of that wedged in under the seat. Older Hydropools flex and don't move well. Last one I had go through my fingers counted 9 dripping jets and it was not the first. The bathing area always seems small.  An 84x84 spa but the bather area might only be 78x78 just seems like a lot of wasted space around the edges and corners. Just passing along what I have seen and is JMO

Thanks for all the replies guys!

So, the other brands I was considering were:

Beachcomber- I found them comfortable but I did not like the idea of having my equipment under the steps outside. They said it is very easy to service and they find it to be efficient. But in my opinion, it's like having your water heater outside your house? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Jacuzzi- It is also in my market but I find them to be very expensive. Does anyone know if they are even worth it?

Master Spas- I have read a lot of bad stuff up on Master Spas, and one of my buddies said he had a terrible experience with them in terms of customer service.

The guy at Hydropool told me that the reason their hot tub is the "real" self-cleaning is because they can filter 100% of the water in 15 minutes with the vacuum.

Did you try any of these out? 

CanadianSpaTech:
If you look at Jacuzzi and like a particular model I would also then have a look at Sundance Spas also owned by Jacuzzi and have many models that are virtually the same and use most of the same equipment but might have a little better price point and service.

What area are you in Ontario?
