10-20 years, 15-20 years are pretty close, the average is only a couple years different. Now, if you own a LPI product, 3-5 years is what you should expect. I'm talking about the quality brands. Artesian, Marquis, Hot Springs, etc. Not Master, Aqua Living and the likes of cheap spas.

Never said that it might not be cost effective if you lost 2 pumps and a Spa Pack at the same time but replacing those individually over 10 years could be cost effective for some.

There is a BIG difference between customer satisfaction if a spa lasts 10 years vs another that lasts 15.

I don't disagree with you.

The tub itself could easily last that long but new enhancements and technology could cause a consumer to replace an old tub. Doesn't mean the tubs life expectancy changes, just consumer tastes. If it happens to end up in the landfill, again it's not because the tub failed and isn't a reflection of life expectancy.

And as I said before, there are plenty of lesser tubs that deserve landfill status.

There are users with 20 year old tubs that have mechanical timers and basic jetting that are perfectly happy with them. Then there are consumers that "need" the latest and greatest and turn over their tubs in 5 years.

As I thought about this further, you might be closer on age. There are soo many poor tubs out there that would certainly skew the overall life expectancy.

What brand is your tub, MikeDee?

I’m almost embarrassed to say as I know the brand isn’t popular amongst many posters on this forum. That being said it’s a Thermospas, Model Park Avenue.. I bought back in 1999..

And here we are in 2021 and your tub is still working (i'm guessing). It's a rotomolded tub so the shell should be still solid. If it's still doing what you bought it for and you still enjoy it, then I would say it owes you nothing. Even now, if you had to put $1000 in repairs in it, it's worth it because it does what you want it to. Today, you have a tub, I'm still waiting for mine and thousands of other people won't have one for months to years. Enjoy what you have.
