Except this is a 6 year old used spa so was it an issue in the 2014 model year? If so is there a retrofit fix?

No, it was not an issue in 2014

Does many many mean 6?

12 years ago, I believe, they introduced the flow piece behind the pack. And honestly, it was only an issue for people who did not properly maintain their hot tub. I just saw a 2006 model with no funk behind the jetpaks. It has been maintained properly. I find it hilarious that people want to ding Bullfrog for something caused by failure to maintain water chemistry.

I partially agree but we all know a certain amount of poor maintenance by customers will never go away whether its chems, filter cleaning... Whether they had an inkling at launch or not we don't know but in the end Bullfrog had a design that required more upkeep than many customers were willing to provide (shocking eh?) so they simply figured out a way to redesign the issue out, good for them. Proofing out the design up front is the answer but manufacturers aren't going to necessarily provide the time and money to R&D every issue out of their design ahead of time like NASA.
