I just got pics of the used Maxxus. The ad mentioned a new metal cover and I thought they meant cover lifter... apparently not. Is this something that I would have to replace?
-
This cover is for a differant spa, probably a built in the ground tub or swim spa, it will work but could scratch the spas surface, it also is not a perfect fit for that spa, you may want to order a replacement cover from the manufacturer.
-
Thanks for the info.
This is what she just responded with...
Yes it really is a spa cover. We still have the original spa cover sitting on the side of the house (gray). The fire of July 04 was right behind us and the old spa cover got some ember burns on it and after 3 years needed to be replaced so the poolman that lives next door to us recommend this to us. It was $1000 for this cover. The spa is not filled because they had to move it for the pool. It is sitting on our patio. We have never had any problem and it works great.
-
Something isn't adding up, Brooke. $1000 my butt. It looks terrible (the cover). Why are they getting rid of it?
In my experience, most of the people getting rid of relatively new spas are getting rid of a headache. Sundance is a top of the line spa, so it makes me even more sceptical. If it sounds fishy to you, excercise caution.

I agree that the cover looks terrible. I thought it looked like a ping pong table or air hockey, lol. I can't believe a pool guy would reccomend this and that someone would be stupid enough to pay that much for it? I gathered from that email that they got an inground pool and that is why they are getting rid of the spa... also why it is empty and I can't see it filled.
I wish it wasn't so far away... its 80+ miles and I don't want to miss football to go look at it if its crap.. especially when I can't even see it up and running.
Is there anything to look at or that I would even be able to notice if this was a problem spa?
-
I doubt the spa is crap, it's a good spa. You might ask the nice lady to open up the equipment compartment and take pics. Under the skirt is where all the naughtiness can usually be found.
If she won't do it, that'll tell you a lot.
Also, never buy a used spa without seeing it filled and running.

Her emails are coming out of order... I think the software of the ad company must have had a delay.
Anyway, yes, they are putting in a pool and that is why they are selling it. It is now sitting on the porch, rather than its old location. I don't think it is near the wiring anymore.
I emailed her back about my concern on not seeing it up and running. We'll see what she says.
-
brook,
you always have an adventure dont you ;D that "cover" looks like it belongs on the side of a shed. at least they are trying to keep the shell out of direct sunlight. 80+ miles and cant se it running????? I agree with East......check under the hood.
-
Also, understand that this has a wood cabinet. Not that it is a problem...I love my wood cabinet...but they take periodic maintenance.
Lets see. You can't see it running, it needs a new cover, they probably want it out of their yard. If you're adventurous, may be able to get this for very short dollars.
-
Kinda looks like an aluminum cover from b-lite. $1000 is a good price for that in a 3 piece cover.......... We'd get closer to $1200.
It looks though like it wasn't made to the proper shape...... At least the corners look way off. They're a GREAT cover. I've seen many that have lasted 15 or more years. There's supposed to be a rubber gasket on the underside that seals to the top of the spa.
-
I do believe the woman that she paid $1000 for it, so I'm glad to hear what you said Dr Spa.
As of right now I have a horrible migraine and I've pretty much said no to the whole thing. We'll see if I change my mind later.
I spoke to the local Sundance dealer for about 25 minutes which I thought was awesome customer service when I told him first off I was looking at buying something used private party. He gave me a lot to think about. But right now cause of pain... I'll leave it short with, cost of moving and cost of pad in addition to things of the 02 model like the wood skirt and expensive pumps, expensive to run, bla bla is making me lean towards no.
Back to bed now.
Oh, Dr. Spa I do have ?'s for you later and plan to PM ya... so look fo it when the narcotics kick in.

No by no means, I just thought the whole sex in the hottub/ she is a hottie threads were going overboard and might start offending people. Strictly a judgement call and nothing personal.
-
So why is the sex in the hot tub thread still here?

I just locked it and will let it fade down the list with other threads. It did start out as a hot tub related thread.

Not meaning to question your power or authority, so please don't ban me... just curious. ;D

Well, I stand corrected. If Doc says it's a good cover, it's a good cover. Still looks like crap, though. ;D

I've never particularly cared for the look of them either. There's no skirt to protect the outer edge of the spa and they are usually a bit smaller than the overall diameter of the spa so their gasket can seal to the top of the spa. But, you and 29 of your friends can dance on top of one. Oh, there's also no handles, so removing them is a REAL pita (though there's a specialized cover lifter for them).

Now that looks alright. I could live with that.
BTW Doc, I just got off the phone with a lady in Marshall, TX looking for spa parts. I gave her your 800 number. Just donate my commission to one of the following: National Rifle Association, Gun Owners of America, or Jews for the Preservation of Firearm Ownership. Thanks!

it looks like a small office divider. i cant immagine that someone paid 1000 us for that, i dont think it is possible. really a nice idea though, could be used for alot of different things, nice table. is it a bit heavy though?
-
I know nobody is going to like me for this, but I can't stand it any more. Every time I read "chaunceyboyblu" I cant help but think of Andrew Dice Clay. Anybody know why?

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one here.
Shalom Good buddy.

Shalom to you, Drewstar. Unfortunately, I'm not Jewish (I have no stash of gold ;D). I am a strong supporter of Israel and it's people and think that the JPFO does a great job promoting Second Ammendment rights.
I'm just plain old Texan! (I hope this doesn't make you think less of me, if that's possible ;))
