Title: 21 year old hot springs
Post by: wmccall on July 31, 2005, 10:12:02 am

I was servicing the computer of one my regular customers this weekend I noticed their hot tub in the backyard.  He proudly mentioned it was 21 years old, never had a problem with it and still loves it.  He mentioned that it was a 110v model, never cost him more than $15 a month to run and he thought it was an "indoor/outdoor" model. It looked about 6'x6 ft, but didn't get a good look.

Hopefully, WE ALL have such luck with our tubs!

Sadly, with the quest for more power, more complicated jets and special features, maintenance will be part of the process of owning a modern spa.  It is comforting to know that with a good manufacturer, you will get a long life from major components of your tub.

The "Indoor/Outdoor" was renamed the "Sovereign" because it was increased in size and would no longer easily go through a standard doorway.

Most likely had four or five jets total, and only filtered when the jets were on.

I have many customers with tubs of that vintage - they sure seem to love them.

That Just shows why one needs to buy from a manufacture that has been in buissnes for a long time an has a good reputation.

I met a lady at the Boat Show earlier this year who has had hers (HotSpring Indoor/Outdoor) for 24 years and has never had a service call on it.  I get quite a few customers tell me similar stories when they come in to buy supplies.
