New to this board and still lookin for info on spa crest hot tubs. I am interested in making my first purchase and and need some info.....any one out there own one?
-
sorry, I have never heard of them ???.
Check out their website. Have you been looking at any other tubs aswell?
-
They may be made by someone else and then sold as a private lable. Do you have a website? If so direct us there and maybe some of us can give you an opinion on what we see....

OK,
I found the website however, it doesn't give you much info on the company! There isn't even an address but from the phone # I would guess they are out of GA, I will look in the new AQUA industry referral book later today and see what they say.
They tout a lot of reputation based on the years in business and experience of their component manufactures, which leads me to believe that they are pretty new and pretty small.
From what I can see of the shell and jetting it looks OK but I have no idea how they plumb, how they insulate, nor how they filter. The filter in the pictures of the spas on their site is really designed for not a ton of water flow and works best on smaller spas like FreeFlow and other entry level.
What are they offering…?
It’s really hard to make a judgment on an unknown name, as a dealer I would never carry a brand like this without having a major brand name to sell it along side. Given that, this would only interest me if it were a very reliable made spa at a very low price point. As a consumer you should think about that….
The other factor to consider here is what do you think of the dealer? A great dealer can made a mediocre spa top notch! Remember that you first have to be comfortable with who your buying from…

1)Anyone can build a spa in their garage as long as they have a thermoformed shell as the rest of the parts needed are very attainable. you can even get someone to form the shells for you.
2) Anyone can create a website.
3) Anyone can start a spa company (though it does take some $$).
4) Not everyone builds a good spa (let alone a very good or great spa).

....add to that....
5) Anyone can buy "private label" spas from Phoenix and just make a few changes, put their own name on them, create a story bashing the competition and frightening customers with exaggerated horror stories of "owning the other brand"! ;)

...add even more to that..
6) And mis-represent the Phoenix (or whichever) spa as being UL or ETL listed after bragging up how much greater these "changes" changes make the spa; and not submitting this "improved" spa to either ETL or UL.

Any spa that will whiten your teeth while bathing sounds like a heck of a good idea to me. ;D
