Title: American Spa and Pool
Post by: Ballsie on August 31, 2004, 01:19:34 pm: I have been shopping for my first new SPA and have come across a manufacturer located in Ohio. The company is American Spa and Pool. They seem to have a very nice line of spas at a very good price. I'm looking for some feedback about this spa and how the company is to work with.

Thanks

I fiinally strated to look at their products and I'm considering buying one but I'm looking for as much information as I can.

http://www.as-apinc.com/

Items Included:
All units include commercial grade insulated shell, two inch high pressure plumbing, one inch thick redwood cabinet walls and a floor. Aristech acrylic marble or granite finishes available in your choice of all the latest colors. Commercial hardcover included. Each spa is equipped with a light (red, white and blue lenses). Commercial grade 220V power packs: 6000W with 24-hour timer, built in GFI and back-up thermostat. Fifty square foot commercial filters. Digital topside controls, 2HP blower systems (air injected), ozonator, brominator and chrome trim. (Applies to all models except Condo, 1 and 2,)

Warranty: 1 year parts, 20 year shell

No where does it say "labor" is included. So you could assume that after you get the spa, and it acts up say 30-60 days down the road, youre going to be hit with a huge labor bill.

Economy models available from $995 to $3995

To me, looks like the same spas being sold by various dealers on Ebay, Yahoo, etc.
