    I had a Hot Springs that was 25 years old and I started having problems with it. I decided it was time to upgrade so I bought the infinity hot tub from Master Spas. I got it from the dealer that I bought the Hot Springs from 25 years ago. I didn't really know anything about Master Spas until I went in the store and I went in the store because of them taking care of me in the past. I was satisfied with my experience. My hot tub has the continuous circulating pump, the lighting, and 50 jets. I love everything about it.

    Master Spas was having their blowout sale. We went out there and looked at the hot tubs and I saw one that I fell in love with. So, I got it. It was at a reasonable price and I love its overall quality. It has Wi-Fi and flashing lights, and it fits eight people. I've had a lot of fun with it and I try to use it every day when I can. I work out a lot, so when I leave the gym, I go home and get in my hot tub. The team at Master Spas was lovely. They answered all my questions and talked a little bit about what the tub does. They were respectful and told me everything I needed to know. I would tell people that Master Spas has wonderful products and it is a wonderful company.

    I liked the features and price of Master Spas' Twilight Series 7.2. I shopped and looked at Caldera and some other ones. But it was the best value with the most options on it for the price. Also, the sales people there at the expo where I bought it were great. I love my hot tub and I wouldn't change a thing about it. I'd tell others to buy it as well. However, whenever I went to research Master Spas, there was not much information about them. It made me a little skeptical with the buying decision because I could research Caldera, Hot Springs and all these other ones and there were a lot of information about them. Master Spas should make more information available because people should know they have a great product.

    I've had Master Spas before and the last spa that I had was awesome. It was trouble-free for about forever and had fewer parts that I replaced. I like the quality of the construction of the Master Spas products. I purchased a Michael Phelps spa. And I got a nice, deluxe model that has the whole nine yards. Therapy wise, I picked it because of the power of the jets and as far as looking for function more than fashion but it had plenty of accessories and options, too. Also, I was looking for something with reclining position.

    Master Spas' customer support has been great. And I spoke with my sales manager and I had told him that I've had issues with the tub. I wish that I never bought it. It has a nice high quality, does what I need, and it's comfortable when I get in there, but the design features are way not what I expected. They're terrible. Getting in and out is really difficult for my parents so they could not use it. Also, I'm having trouble with the fancy features like those little reflective light up drink coasters. If someone with a drink is already in there, you can't get in without someone having to move some of that stuff. And then, the diverter is on the other side of the tub, that even if you're in the reclining position, you have to get up and out and slide over to go into the back of the tub where your legs would be, to turn it, and it's annoying. It's not easy and I wish the diverter is in another location where I could get to it without having to fight to get there.

    I'm in the payments for this thing for a long time and I'm going to despise it for that long. I still use it but I'm not happy at all and I wish it was never in my backyard. I held on it for a while thinking it's still relatively new and I'll get over it. But then, I had some friends who came for a few days and I waited until they had their opinion because they also were multiple spa owners. And they made some comments on some of the weird features. So, originally it looked like a good idea but their design is not.

    My husband and I have both grown up with spas hot tubs. We have an eight-person spa from Master Spas. We were at a trade show two hours from home, by Lambeau Field in Green Bay, looking for something that would be a little bit bigger, and they had a sale on an older model wherein the pricing and the comfort of it were good. We have also heard of Master Spas and so that was how we just went with them.

    The team was good and they were not pushy. They were able to answer our questions. There was one that was a little bit more with bells and whistles, but after asking what we were going to use it for, they recommended one that actually was cheaper for us. The quality is good. The only issue we've had is that when they delivered our hot tub, the cover had a rip in it. So, it took my husband calling probably every week and a half for over three months before they brought us another one. So, the quality of the service has not been good with them. Still, we use it five days a week and it definitely is relaxing and therapeutic for us, so we like it. Just stay away from getting it through a dealer in the Appleton, Wisconsin area because of the difficulties we had with the service in replacing the cover.

    We were building a backyard and we wanted to buy a hot tub to spruce it up and give us something different to do. We got a five-seater one from Master Spas and it has two little fountains, a waterfall, and an LED light. We liked the store we bought it from and that we could have one of the silent motors put in the tub, so it doesn't make any noise. The quality is super nice compared to most of the tubs I saw in there, especially cosmetically. It looks really pretty sitting there. We never owned one before so we didn't have a lot to go on and we were reliant on the people at the store to help us out. They were super and they did free water testing for us. My wife's a stickler and she must've called them every day for two weeks to make sure she was doing everything right, and they answered her every question.

    We took out the filters, rotated them and cleaned them. We used the bio-organic soap but we didn't let the filter dry out enough and we put it in too quick so it made a sudsy bubbly reaction in the water. They corrected us on that but they also said it's perfectly fine and that we can either clean up the whole tub and empty it all and put fresh water in it, or let it run its course because it'll dissolve, which it did. So, I didn't worry about it and now, when we do our filters and take them out and in ourselves, we make sure we clean them a little differently and then let them completely dry out so it doesn't do that, and it works fine since. It was another thing that they really helped us with.

    We even have one of the little pieces that broke on us and we had a warranty and they had no problem getting the piece for us so it was perfect. They have been great. The quality of the tub is great, too, and I'm in it every day. I get in it in the morning to wake up and then after I get off work, I'll jump in it again for one or two sessions.

    Our 12 year-old spa burned up so we needed a replacement. Master Spas had an event going on where they were showing their products in a special place and the one we liked had a pretty good price so we thought we'd give it a try. Their reps were professional and showed us the good and the bad of each of the varieties and sizes that they had.

    We bought a two-person spa and it's good. We didn't realize that if we fill it up and we're sitting on it, it's a little tighter than what we thought it was going to be. Also, compared to our old spa, we have to put a lot of more chlorine on this one but it seemed like we don't have to put more different types of chemicals in it order to keep it up like we used to in our old spa. The Master spa is a little harder to get out of, too, because of the way we got it set up. We're trying to get out of the slide of it instead of one of the ends where the controls are. Plus, there are very few flat places to put our feet whenever we get out of the thing so it's difficult. Other than that, so far, everything's going well and I'd tell others to take a good look at Master Spas. Each spa's got its own features and they personalize their own thing. Master Spas also have enough features that would suit just about anybody out there.

    We had a hot tub in the past, and we sold our home and moved around a little, but we appreciated the health benefits of the spa. So, we bought a hot tub again. Our Master Spas hot tub has lots of jets and several powerful motors. And it's not the top-end spa but it's not the bottom either. We use it mainly for more therapy and it's relaxing. And in the sidebar, I like when my wife and I are in it. It gives us time to relax together, have some good conversation and kind of unplug from the rest of our lives.

    I like the warranty that Master Spas has, and I liked the dealer who represented them. The dealer was personable people. His job was to sell us the tub, but it was low pressure. The tub's quality is good. However, before I use the jet diverter valves, I get a lot of noise up through them. It's a little bit noisier than I would've liked but other than that, it's been running spotlessly.

    We purchased a small, triangular shaped, two to three-person unit from Master Spas. I have owned hot tubs before and I didn't like sharing with anybody else so I wanted it small. Our hot tub fits on my patio and it has all the features including the lighting. We had a little trouble getting the electrical working at first. The guy who worked for the spa wanted to say it was the electrician's fault. And the electrician said it wasn't his fault. So we went through that a couple of times but eventually, we got it fixed. The Master Spas team was helpful in getting it done. And it works fine and we are enjoying it.

    The only thing is there's a special step to cleaning the filter and it makes it harder for me to do it. But I like my hot tub. I'm retired and so the aches and pains are normal day-to-day, and that's when I use it, even if it's 3 o'clock in the morning when I can't sleep. Sometimes, I don't want to make that little trips to the hot tub because of the weather but I know it will feel good once I get there. I'm very happy with it.

    I purchased an eight-man hot tub from Master Spas with 50 plus jets and two waterfalls and I'm in love with it. The person who we spoke to specifically sells them and he went to the same university my son did, so we trusted him. We got it in July, and the only time we've missed it is when we went on vacation or if we were sick. We spent money on it and put a big structure over it, the whole 9 yard, and it's cool right now. The quality is great. My husband cleans out the filters in the basement so that we could still use it in winter. However, we've noticed that it's making a noise after a few minutes and I'm hoping that's because of the cold weather. We're a bit nervous that there might be something wrong with one of the jets or motors.

    There was a show at a convention center and they had a couple of different brands but Master Spas was the one that got stuck in my mind. Their team was very knowledgeable about their products and they knew that the product would speak for itself. Also, they weren't very high pressure and they shared as much information as they could without me probing. When I did probe with some additional questions, they had the answers. If they didn't have it then they went back and looked stuff up. I did some comparisons after I visited the show and decided to go with them. I had been looking at a smaller version and I had given them the dimensions of where I would place the spa in my patio. They were able to upsell me to a little bit larger spa which I'm happy I ended up going with. They were familiar with the space that the spa could fit into and it worked out perfectly.

    I bought The Twilight Series because of its features and the Master Spas name behind it. It's a good value for the money and has a very good warranty. But it was kind of disappointing that when I had the spa delivered, they needed to get it out of their inventory and I hadn't gotten the electrical hooked up yet so that they could do their setup. I'm clear in the North West and they're clear in the South East so because of their location in the valley, they wouldn't make a separate trip up to do the setup.

    So initially, the filters were shutting off the unit at certain times. The sensors said that the filters were blocked even though the filters were brand new. Then I found out that my spa needed to be refilled through the filters. But that wasn't easily found in their manual. I was able to resolve some of those issues through text and phone calls with the person that sold it to me so I'm happier now. But that should have been on a quick setup reference card if they were not going to be there to set it up for me so that calling and texting them multiple times when I was having the filter error issues could have been prevented. Other than that, I use the spa every other night and it makes me feel good after a long hike or after a day on the golf course. I would recommend Master Spas to anyone that was looking to purchase a spa if it fits in their budget.

    I live in Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands and we were visiting our kids in Texas. I was bored and tired of staying around their house so I went to the spa show. Master Spas was the only one there and I ended up buying the TS 8.2. It's big, can accommodate eight people, and it's the number one rated spa at Consumer Reports. I'm 68 years old so my back hurts a lot and the spa helps. However, I did not do enough research about it. The spa's price started at $17,000 then it came down to $9,000. So I thought the spa's price was good. But I have friends that also bought a Hot Spring spa and they said that they bought it for a lot less than what I paid.

    Other than that, I'm really happy with Master Spas so far. Their customer service has been very good. There are no Master Spas dealers here and they shipped my spa to Miami, Florida, then they had a freight forwarder bring it from Miami to Saint Croix. Their reps have been very professional and answered all my questions from the factory. But they need to know that the TS 8.2 will fit in a high-top container to be shipped wherever their clients want to ship it to. It was the big unknown for me at the time because it was a matter of an inch or two of fitting and if it didn't, it was going to cost me $3,500 instead of $1,000 to ship it. The people I bought the spa from have been very good, too, but I usually went back directly to Master Spas since they were always there. I've always had somebody answer me when I called them directly, instead of having to leave a message and waiting for a callback.

    I purchased a tub exactly 4 weeks ago on a Saturday. I was told it would be delivered in a few days. On Wednesday I was told it would be delivered Friday afternoon, so I made plans to be available. Eventually I was told it would be delivered Friday night. At 9 pm Friday night I was told it would be Saturday at 7 pm, so I changed my weekend plans. On Saturday evening I was told it would be around 5-7pm Sunday, so I made sure I'd be available Sunday night. I was called Sunday evening and told it would be Monday morning. It finally arrived Monday morning without a cover... Which is ironic considering in the tub in large red letters it says to keep the tub covered or it will VOID THE WARRANTY. I was told by the delivery guys that the cover would arrive in the next couple days.

    I was also called by someone that said it would be Wednesday at the latest. Friday came along, and no cover. I called the sales guy and he said it could take 2 weeks. I said no big deal, just wish they would have told me that up front. 2 weeks went by and no cover. I called the service number and they said it would definitely arrive within the next week. Friday came along and once again no cover... So I called the service number again, they said they'd look into it and call back. 3 pm came around, nobody called. I called the service number again and they said they tried to call me back 3 times. I had no missed calls, and of course no messages. They said unfortunately my cover was damaged and it could take another 10 days for the delivery. Another two weeks for a cover!? Apparently nobody was going to call me to inform me. They said there was nothing else they could do.

    So I put down a large sum of money on a new tub, and I was told it would be delivered with a cover in a few days... I'm now waiting 6 weeks. This is completely unacceptable, and I have serious doubts about the quality of the tub based on my experience so far. Made in America!? Shame on you Master Spas! I could have floated to China and back by now! I wish I would have purchased from someone else! Anyone else in fact. I live at high altitude, temps drop single digits every night and the tarp I'm using just isn't as adequate as the cover I paid for a month ago and still won't have for 2 more weeks... supposedly. I'd give Master zero stars if that was an option.

    Anyway, a good business would say "We are sorry you paid a lot of money and don't have your cover, the very least we can do is spend a small amount of money and expedite the delivery process so you are at least minimally satisfied." At least "try to help me out here!" This is not what I expected, I'm extremely disappointed, and I would tell any other customer to BUY ELSEWHERE! I don't trust this company, I sure feel like I'm getting screwed, and I hope nobody else has to deal with their incompetence as I have. And you can go ahead and say the delivery service is separate from the manufacturer, that's a likely excuse, but it doesn't get me what I already paid for a month ago.

    Master Spas had a big show in a convention center. I went looking and ended up buying one of those corner two to three-person spas and it has the lounge seat on one side then the shoulder massagers on the other side. I didn’t check any prices, but supposedly they had a big promotion going. I chose the smaller one, it’s just me and I didn’t need a big six-person one, and I wanted it to sit in a corner of my deck. It has the two-pump system which is supposedly more powerful. I’ve had it for six months now and I like it. I get in it about four times a week at night and I’m enjoying it.

    I need a little help controlling the alkalinity and the hardness of the water. It’s new stuff to me, but trying to keep the water right is the only problem. They got a booklet to go by, but I’m not much of a reader and I’m more of a hands-on learner. When they came, set up the spa and put it on my deck, I didn’t have it wired up to run, so I had to learn the ropes by myself to figure out what to do. But overall, I’m happy with my experience with it.

    I really like our TS 240 from Master Spas. I got it after I went on some websites and talked to a guy who had highly recommended Master Spas. I bought my spa from a distributor of Master Spas, and the guy was really great. I went to a trade show, and the salesmen I was dealing with were horrible and I was afraid to give them my credit card, but luckily, I did some paperwork and they sent it to the distributor. The guy called me and told me that they would give me the same price if I could go there. I went up there and he was the best.

    My spa is awesome. It has 35 jets and a three-man thing, and it has two five-horsepower engines in it, so it has a lot of power. Master Spas’ product is really solid. The whole graphics system is really nice. It’s worth the price, and it’s not totally “way out there” expensive. I got mine for $4000 off than what it normally costs. I saw what they were in the showroom, so I got a really good deal. But I'd pay even a little extra $1,000 for the one I got. The quality of the Jacuzzi from Master Spas so far has been great. I use it five to seven times a week.

    Master Spas was highly recommended as one of the better hot tub manufacturers and that was what I wanted. I told the rep I wanted the tub to last a long time and he gave me several choices. But he basically told me that if I was looking for something good and I can afford it, I should get Master Spas. I've had the hot tub since late September and I use it about three times a week. I didn’t expect the maintenance to be as time-consuming but after you do it, it falls in a routine and it's doable. I got the hot tub for therapy and relaxation and it’s well worth the price. It has very good quality and the cost is balanced out by that. If you can afford Master Spas, you should get one.

The installers got here when they were supposed to and dropped off the spa. There were three of them. One of them went over the features and the filter on what I was supposed to do. He told me how to run the pad itself on the spa.

    However, when the spa was delivered, the delivery guy did not bring my chemicals and when he brought them back that night, I was off to work. He just dropped off the chemicals and left. We never got the tutorials for the chemicals on how to utilize them and what exactly they were. We were left in the dark and we had to figure it out ourselves. When we got the spa, we didn’t fill it up for at least a week because we had to get our electrical updated and have the electrician come in and hook it up for us. And when we filled it up before we turned it on, we wanted to call them and ask them and make sure that we were going it correctly.

    I called the owner of Master Spas to ask him questions about it. The conversation between my husband and him got quite heated and he started to yell at my husband. It was horrible. The owner just said the instructions were inside. He was not very friendly and didn’t want to explain things to us. He talked to my husband and I like we were idiots and that we were supposed to know what was going on but we have never owned a spa before. If I had known that he was that type of person, I would never have purchased the spa from them.

    At one show I saw that Master Spa's tub jets are a little bigger than some of the other manufacturers. I liked their The Twilight Series and I purchased it. I love its excellent quality. I talked to their team plenty of times over the phone about my filter and they were great telling me about it. I had to clean it because I had an error code on the system showing low water flow.

    The spa relaxes me and I want to sleep when I get out of it. I just love whenever I go out there. I got my bill yesterday for the last 30 days and it’s not as expensive to run it like I thought it would be. The guy who delivered it said it would cost me $250 a month in the winter to run it and I keep it at 100 degrees. It was sub-zero here for at least a week then two out of the three weeks it was very cold here and my bill costs $100 so I’m happy with it. I love Master Spas and I try to get a couple of guys at work who were looking for a spa to get one and deal with Master Spas.

    I’ve been looking at several of Master Spas items, and the Twilight Series 7.2 is top of the line. It’s worth every dime I spend on it. My favorite feature is the neck massages and the two Master Blasters down on the bottom that massages your feet. I researched on about 60 different brands. There was a company in Minnesota that made one similar to Master Spas that had one of the highest ratings in the country. I tried contacting them five times and they never got back to me after six months.

    Master Spas had some inside markets, and at the convention center that particular weekend, there was a national firefighter convention at that center. As a retired firefighter, I went there to participate in that and at the same time, Master Spas had one of their weekend displays of all the different types of spas in the same place. One of the salespeople there was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to demonstrate some of them for me. I was impressed and I owned a five-person hot tub I bought off of eBay about 20 years ago, that I had for about 15 years. I really enjoyed it, but it had one pump on it. It finally broke down on me about four years ago and it was time for me to get another.

    I’m 72 now, but my doctors told me that having that spa for 14 years and using it nearly every day helps improve my lifestyle and my health condition. That saved my life, so it’s time for me to get another one. My Master Spas is 10 times better than that one I had, and I’ve been using it about twice a day, keeping it up and about. I’ve gotten on the Master Spas website, ordered a couple of new filters and a couple of other small things. I’ve submitted several pictures of my spa on how I got it set up on the website as well. I got some deck chairs and an umbrella and everything set up around it. I’ve also been to the store they have in Austin. Their rep was really cooperative and helpful. I’ve mentioned this to a dozen people that I’ve come in contact with and recommended to everybody. Of all the ones I’ve seen, I think Master Spas outdoes everybody on the market.

    We had a hot spring and a hot tub before at our previous house. We were never really happy with the hot spring. It was way overpriced and not great. At $10,000, it should have been spectacular but it wasn’t. So, when I purchased the Master Spas, it was a great compromise. We got a seven-foot spa with a lounge in it. We use it all the time and I really like the overall finish of it. Also, the heater and the jets are powerful.

    Our spa was less expensive and the quality is good. Master Spas’ representative was very helpful and even though I didn’t walk to the store to buy a spa, he did a good job of explaining it. The installation went fine. It was a ridiculously cold, frozen, and snowy morning when the installers got here so they just dropped it off and left. I did all the electrical work myself and I was good with it. We’ve been happy with the spa so far and I’d tell a friend to come check it out.

    We were doing a new construction and we had ordered the spa at a show at the Arena on Green Bay. The salesmen were fine. We let Master Spas know that we were still building and that we would be needing it a few months down the road. They told us it is not a problem. They can build it out and have it in their warehouse. When I told them we were ready to have it delivered they told us that it was in their warehouse in Chicago and it would take a few weeks before we can get it.

    Long story short they didn’t end up getting all my lawn in before the end of the year. I was a little disappointed in that. I probably could have given them more heads up if I knew it would really be an issue for them. But once they got it in stock and it came up they got it set in place. The purchasing side of it went fine. In regards to the product itself we like the spa a lot. All in all I'm satisfied. We just enjoy it. It’s nice to be able to get in there and relax.

    I knew the guy who was selling the Clarity 7 from Master Spas and he told me that it was the best one on sale during our state fair. The tub that we bought has two-seat tub jets and light, and it fits seven. I like that it seated that number of people and for a reasonable price. The quality of the spa and tub is nice and I like it. I go in it and relax after work, but I have not used it a lot lately since it has been 20 below here. I hear that it is not good to be sitting on those temperatures, so I had it sealed up. I had some minor issues with it and I reached out to the people that I bought it from and they helped me out. There were stickers inside where one showed the minimum water level while the others were like warning labels. As soon as the water filled up and heated up, those stickers came off and developed into balls all over the inside of my hot tub and inside the jets, so I've been continuously trying to clean my filter to get those out.

    It was a pain to have those stickers and they should paint them on because now, anytime someone wants to sit in the hot tub and if they touch anywhere there are stickers, those balls will continue to come off the sticky part and get stuck in my jets. I still haven't mastered how to get the chemicals out and it is confusing, and I've been reaching out to friends of mine that own hot tubs rather than the dealer itself. But overall, the Master Spas tub is a good product and I would recommend it to a friend.

We like the lounging area where you can sit with your legs bent, and then there are jets all along. The tub was pricey, but you get what you pay for. We built a room for it and we use it every day, and the tub feels so relaxing on our back and muscles. However, if you have to get out the molders, you’ve got take the full front panel off. I wish they just have one panel in the front where you could just unscrew that and go from there. Other than that, the tub is good so far and I would recommend Master Spas.

    I got a good discount on the Master Spas I bought at a garden show. I had an excellent experience with their sales rep there but the spa installation was not good. The guys that came out knew very little about electricity. They don't even have a multimeter with them. They need to have some electrical background to know what they're doing. They got things hooked up wrong and blew a fuse, though part of that was my fault. They should have the equipment they need to be able to check the lines and make sure that they got the correct voltage too.

    Once the spa was set up, it’s been great. The quality seems to be very good and I find it to be built better than other brands. I also like the foot massage feature. With the filter piece that’s in there though, I was told at the show that I would never need to add any kind of chlorine and that this filter would take care of all that 100%. I would just change that filter out every six months. But that's not true. I still have to add chlorine to it. And it seems to need more chlorine than my old tub. I don't get as much life out of the dose as I did with my old tub. I'd really like to try the cartridge in there without that filter in it. It's got two filters in it, and one of those filters also has an internal filter that's supposed to work magic. They were very misleading and I'm not happy with that. If they modify that filter system, I’d like to know about it and replace mine.

    It took me 27 years to convince my wife that we needed a hot tub. When I looked at the products of different hot tub manufacturers, the quality of the Master Spas hot tub looked more impressive. Also, I liked the dealer. I enjoyed working with him before on the wood burner at the office. He’s a great guy and he answered every question I had. I got a Master Spas hot tub from the Twilight series because it is big and it has everything that I wanted. I liked the three pumps and there’s one spot where it has the shoulder jets that come down the neck and shoulder. It also has two waterfalls that seemed to impress my four-year-old grandson.

    I’m very happy with the tub. We are in it everyday and it’s probably saving money on heat in the house because we warm up there in the evening before coming in, so I don’t have to turn the thermostat up in the house. But the product should come with better instructions on the control panel because I had to figure out the lights. It should come with better instructions as well on how to get the water balanced, how to dump the chlorine you want in there, and how to get the right pH level. It took me two months to finally get to be very confident that the water is good. Also, I would have liked the tub to have been cheaper, but I was completely satisfied with it.

    The Healthy Living hot tub is a smaller model, which made sense instead of spending $10,000 on a bigger spa so that we can have people in it. We’re empty nesters and we were only interested in a husband-and-wife getaway place. We got a good deal on it too. We paid cash and they gave 15% off immediately. That was really great and they were willing to work with us. We’ve looked at getting a hot tub for five years for the eventuality that we would have an empty nest and with other spa companies, we had a lot of fast talkers and you have to make a decision within 24 hours. That was not the experience with this particular company.

    Everybody that we had talked to said, “You not just find a spa. You’re buying a relationship with a company with a good technician.” We were aware that we needed a technician that was close to us because we are in a pretty rural area in the middle of United States. It was explained to us that there was a storefront near our city but that was actually a little disingenuous because it wasn’t the 25-minute city away from us. It’s the capital two hours away. They were fast-talking and although we knew that we weren't getting swindled, we felt it was a little slimy.

    But the company had bent over backwards to correct some of the delivery mistakes and help us with the whole pH thing. That took time to learn even though my husband’s a chemist. We really felt that once the product was delivered, we had a good relationship with this company. But there were some little weird things that happened. They literally delivered the wrong hot tub to our house and I didn’t notice. I was throwing a dinner party and we were given less than eight hours for the delivery time.

    I filled it up the next day thinking they got the wrong color but it was the wrong hot tub. I had already filled up the hot tub and put chemicals on it. I said, “I’m not draining this in the winter time. This is now my hot tub.” I signed the paper and it’s not my problem that we got a better spa then. It is well-built and it also looks durable. It has strong jets and is very easy to use. We got it in mid-October and we’ve been in it everyday even when the wind chill was -26. We absolutely love it. We’re getting on in years and it helps us with the arthritis pain. I really believe that it is a positive health influence on our life.

    We were in the market for buying a tub. We looked at the different companies and looked at the reviews from existing customers, and Master Spas had a lot of very positive remarks. If other people had used them and had good experiences, then that was a good indication that we would probably have the same experience. We went to Master Spas’ home show, and we had a particular salesperson that was helping us there. We were looking at a hot tub, talking about price, and we told him we were very interested in that particular hot tub, the Legacy Whirlpool. Another salesman came over with another husband and wife, and he started talking to them about that bathtub after us. While we were standing there, he told us not to bother getting attached to that one because he just sold it. It was incredibly rude, and that was the only negative.

    Our salesman said that if we didn’t mind waiting, he could order the hot tub in the color that we wanted, like the one that was on the floor. It was six to eight weeks of waiting, but that was okay, and they gave us a contact number for someone in the Maryland office to keep in touch, which was fantastic. The girl we dealt with was very professional, and she responded very quickly if I left a message for her. She gave us a heads up the day before she called us the morning they had projected the tub was going to come in. The guys who came to deliver it were amazing, and they did a great job. It was fascinating to watch how the three young men moved that hot tub from the back of their truck on our driveway, all the way down around our house and onto the patio.

    It was later in the summer when the tub arrived and the weather got cold quickly, so we didn’t get to use the tub a lot. But when we do, we love it. We like that the Legacy Whirlpool has two kinds of lounging chairs. It had lower seats and higher seats for people who are tall, like I am, or not as tall as others, like my wife. That way, there are seats for everybody and you don't end up with your face under the water. Also, the tub has different kinds of jets and their strengths can be adjusted. I have health issues and the tub has been very helpful. I'm looking forward to the spring getting here, so I can use the tub on a regular basis. My experience with Master Spas has been very positive and I would absolutely recommend them.

My husband has chronic Lyme disease and the spa has helped him tremendously with his aches and being able to relax and make him feel better.

    Master Spas' customer service was great. However, the company that we were dealing with in between them was not good. When we bought the hot tub, we sat down with the people at The Big E and we talked about the cover and the lift that comes with it. However, they did not include it when they said they would. It's probably our fault for not double checking everything. The middle man did not want to give us that but Master Spas honored the agreement. They told them that they need to give us the cover lift.

    We got a hot tub from Master Spas that has two lounges in it, and it's got a high shoulder seat on one corner for high massages, which is my favorite spot. The ordering went smooth, but instead of four to six weeks or eight weeks, it was 12 to 14 weeks. We ordered in August to have it for the late summer but we didn't get it until November. It was almost a Christmas present. Then, when they finally said they were going to come, they didn't. They came another day and it was late in the day. We were the last on the shift because they were running late.

    When they installed the hot tub, it didn't have a cover. They had to leave and come back. Also, because the spa was an 8 x 7 and the way that we oriented it was so we would be able to watch the TV, the cover comes off directly in front of the TV. We had to take the cover frame off and use the cover by hand. We spent $500 building a TV stand outside and we can't watch it because the cover is there.

    We also had some issues with the tub when we first got it. The electric didn't work and we called for help. The Master Spas rep said we had to have an electrician, but I said the electrician was just here and had done all he could do. The rep said, "It's Friday in the afternoon. We can't come in until Monday." They also said to call back if I couldn't get it fixed by that Monday, but we just fixed it ourselves. I took it apart myself and found out there was a fuse blown, and the only place to get the fuse was from a place in Oregon. We had to call and have it shipped overnight but it took about a week to actually get it to work.

    Once the hot tub worked, though, it's been great. We've been using it almost every day since we've had it in there. We enjoy it a lot and haven't had any trouble with anything. The pumps have been running good but it took us a little while to get used to it. However, the instructions on the model itself don't give a lot of details on how to run it and set it up. It tells you what the features are like the buttons and stuff but it doesn't really explain what those features are. So, it took us a while to figure out the chemicals. We bought four different test strips, and each test strip is completely different. Being new spa owners, we weren't used to that. It took us about two weeks before we finally figured out a routine.

    We also couldn't tell where the power was but they kept saying it's all in the book. It really wasn't. They handed us two pages of instructions that weren't in the book, but they said it's important to have. They also said, "If your stuff is not set up, you'll get a penalty," and, "We'll charge you to come back.". Overall the spa is awesome, but the dealers weren't. As far as the product and the operation, Master Spas definitely feels like it's good quality. We've only had it for two and half to three months now but everything seems right.

They’ve been very helpful along the way and they put the tub down where I wanted it to go. It also seems to be a very low maintenance unit. There’s one filter that really needs to be replaced at any given time but short of that, it’s just maintaining the pH levels. We look forward to using the tub in the evening and even though it’s been extremely cold, it’s not bad once you get in the tub. Getting out is a whole different story but we’ve made it work and we’re enjoying it.

    Master Spas is a high-quality spa and is built very well. I purchased the Michael Phelps LSX800 series since I did a lot of research on the internet and it has all the features that we wanted. It has all the jet locations, as well as neck, shoulder, and foot massagers. Additionally, Master Spas has common parts that one could get from anywhere on the internet. I don't have to buy it directly from Master Spas. Also, their team was wonderful to work with.

    We went to one of the parking lot sales to get a hot spring and the Master Spas factory sales guy was very good and outsold everybody else. He was very knowledgeable, very honest, and a trustworthy guy. I purchased a six-person Twilight, got interested in the Eco Pur filtration, and it had a lot of American-built aspects to it. The overall fit and finish were very good and the three pumps were extremely well-engineered. The hot tub is a good value, great, and I love it. We live up in the mountains and it’s freezing cold, I run in to the tub and jump in, then I run back in the house. It’s very relaxing and nice, and I’m glad I got it instead of a boat.

    We bought the hot tub in Oklahoma City and had it installed in North Carolina, and both of the vendors were absolutely fantastic and excellent in communication, especially Dave's in North Carolina. I couldn’t say enough nice things about Chris and Mike and the guys in Waynesville, North Carolina. I’m very pleased with their honesty.

    When I bought our first Master Spas hot tub in 2003, they offered a promotion where after 1 year of ownership, you can submit a claim to get a $5000 rebate. But when I submitted it, I got the runaround. They said that they used a third-party company that funded the rebate and that company went out of business. It was a publicized thing, and there was a class action lawsuit. But we didn't get anything because of bankruptcy. It would be nice if they could pay me that rebate. Other than that, we were happy with our first hot tub. And when we saw the model at the exposition they had at the state fair, we bought it. The reps showed us all the options and then we negotiated the price of the model we liked. It was a good experience and we got a good price on it.

Also, we had two really cold snaps, and both times that we had the really cold weather, it tripped the breaker but it takes off and runs just fine. It just gets really cold.

    I bought a Clarity hot tub by Master Spas. I like its size. It was big, seven by seven, and it’s aesthetically pleasing. I went in expecting to pay $4000 and ended up paying closer to $8000, so I would like for it to have been less. But once I started thinking about it, I thought, “Why cut corners?” and “What’s the difference of a thousand dollars?” In fact, the hot tub was better than I expected it to be, and we got close to the top of the line, so I’m okay with it. It has two jets with the filter that’s supposed to make the water really clear. The Master Spas team came to our house twice. Once to install it and another, when I called them three weeks later to come and give me a tutorial on how to take care of it. And David’s, their vendor came.

    The chemistry part of the tub was a little intimidating at first. Our vendor sold us a frog that you put in which regulates the chlorine and the pH levels, and it was awesome. It makes the work with the chemicals easier. As Master Spas continues to improve, maybe one day they will come up with a spa that will take care of the chemicals by itself. At this point, I’m becoming an expert on its maintenance, and I know when to add water and what to do to it. I will probably drain it in March for the first time, so that will be a new one for me, but as for everything else, I’m picking up fast. My wife and I are out there in the tub together a lot, and I’m in it every day. It’s cool and it feels like we’re on vacation when we are in it. I referee basketball, and I feel like I’m 15 years younger now and I don’t have any aches. I’m obviously satisfied with it.

So, I took it out again and cleaned it twice and it still had a whole lot of bubbles. And the water is milky looking now.

    With the filter clogged up, it shut the water off going through the heater and the heater burned up. The Master Spas reps came here and replaced the heater element but they just said to run it without the center filter. Now, I can't run the spa with the center filter in place because I'm afraid the element would burn out again. The reps also said that they will mail a new filter.

    I have not yet received the Hot Tub I purchased on 11/6/17. When I first agreed to buy the tub it was going to be delivered the next day, but Brett says, “No worry you will get a new one not a floor model delivered from the factory in 2-3 weeks.” OK cool. "Any chance it can be delivered by Thanksgiving when my family was expected to be home?" "Can't promise, but there is a good chance. The factory folks will call on Monday." Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday no call. I called on Thursday and they said they could not give me any idea of when I could expect delivery. Yes they understood that I had paid in full but the factory was switching from 2017 to 2018 production and they had no idea of when I could expect a delivery and by the way Sam or Dave says "I am out of town next week so I won't be able to get back to you until after Thanksgiving."

    I said that was unacceptable. I want my money back. "Sorry," he says. “No can do on the money back as we have a contract.” I said I will dispute with my credit card company then. "Good luck," he says. “You have a three day right of recision which is already past.” Funny they tell me over and over again how they have no idea of when I can expect delivery but now all of the sudden he knows exactly what to tell me. So two months later the credit card company sides with Master Spas and now I call to talk to Kevin the manager. I explain how his Sam and Dave routine went down and he says he can't blame them if the salesman, Brett, misrepresented when I should expect delivery. As if the salesman is not part of their company. OK then how do you explain the I don’t give a __ attitude of Sam and Dave. He basically says that is how they do business. He took no responsibility whatsoever for the miscommunication and blamed it on the salesman.

    I have a small business and while I certainly understand that the customer is not always right I have never had any business work so hard to not take responsibility for their own employee's misrepresentations. Especially when the solution is so obvious. I made it clear that I thought the right thing to do would be cancel the order rather than force someone to take delivery of a product they no longer want. It could be a great hot tub but I will have a hard time relaxing in it after they have tried so hard to make me angry about it. Kevin says sorry but they cannot cancel the order. They are a volume business and every order counts. So I asked when I could expect delivery and he says 3-4 weeks which is a whole lot better than I have no idea.

    Honestly if they had told me 3-4 weeks when I called the first time I would have been OK with that. But to say they have no idea after they have been paid in full is unacceptable and maddening especially given the dismissive attitude that accompanied it. From the salesman Brett who would tell you anything you want to hear to Sam and Dave and the manager Kevin who have no idea and don't care what anyone else told, they have no idea and no clue!

    I have heard from a third party in the business that Master Spas makes a decent product but their customer service and follow through are terrible. I am confirming this for anyone who cares. Do not buy a Spa from Master Spas because they only care about your money and not your satisfaction. Every business is dependent on quality customer service and quality communication. They failed miserably on both counts. I don't know how they stay in business. Do yourself a favor and avoid Masters Spas like the plague!

    We purchased the Phelps 18 foot Swimspa in Dec of 2016. Despite taking great care of the spa and its covers, within 3 months the cover had 2 tears at the seams. Imagine our surprise when looking more closely at the warranty, the cover is expressly NOT covered whatsoever. Within 6 months, both covers were sagging horribly in the middle and collect rainwater every time it rains. Both were built level all the way across rather than sloping to ensure water was easily shed. 8 months after we purchased it, the switch to the auxiliary pumps broke. We contacted their service people and were told that although the part would be covered, they would be charging us $125 for 'transportation fees' to come out to our house. I will never again purchase anything from this company and will be doing repairs on my own from now on.

    I purchased a Healthy living spa at a hot tub show at the end of August, 2017. The purchase and the installation were both good experiences. However, after the spa was installed and working fine for about 10 days it started tripping the breaker. I called the local store from whom the purchase was made (The Hot Tub Store in Utica, MI) and they sent someone out to look at the tub. They determined that it needed a new pump. It took nearly 3 months to get this pump. The store claimed that the pump was back-ordered. But, I contacted the manufacturer and they said that no such back-order existed. Soon after I called to complain they miraculously got the pump back in stock and came out to install it. It worked for exactly 1 day. I went outside to use it and it was ice cold. It had tripped the breaker, again. I called and let them know that it was broken again.

    This time it took them about 2 weeks to come out. They made an appointment to replace the board this time. The appointment time came and they did not show up. They also did not call to change it or cancel. I called them back to find out what was going on and they said that they changed their minds and were now going to replace the pump again and needed to get the part. They set a second appointment and again did not show up. I had someone waiting for them that now had take 2 half days of work off for this repair! After another call to them they finally sent the repairman out. He showed up an hour earlier than the scheduled appointment time. He hooked up the new pump without anyone home to turn on the breaker. He called us and said that it should be fine but if it wasn't it had to be our electrical system causing the problem.

    When we got home that evening we turned on the breaker and it immediately tripped. Since then I have had 3 voicemails from the shop wanting to bill me for a trip charge of $70. This is a warranty repair... Why in the world am I being billed for warranty work? Especially when they didn't even fix the problem? I had a master electrician come out yesterday and thoroughly inspect my electrical system.

    After spending a considerable amount of time checking things out he has determined that the electrical system is fine. There is some sort of defect in the hot tub. Most likely the control board or heating element, that is tripping the breaker. I have contacted Master Spas for a name of another authorized warranty service facility. It is absolutely ridiculous that have spent literally thousands of dollars on a supposedly top-of-the line spa and I have literally been able to use it 3 times in over 4 months. I am extremely disappointed. If I could send it back, I would. It has been nothing but a hassle and I wish that I had never purchased it.

    I received my hot tub August 2017. I called service to get the the heater started. Was not working due to the lines had to be bleed which it burnt the heater motor out. I called service and they told me to bleed the lines and I had no idea what to do so I argued with the lady on customer service to get the techs to help me and they finally came after 2 weeks and replaced the heater pipe. Then I finally got it running, get the chemicals all set, for about 2 weeks keeps foaming up when the chemicals have to balance out.

    I went to a pool and hot tub specialist near my home after deal with the service I bought it from. I’ve have spent hundreds of dollars on getting the right chemical balance, had the water tested and still foams up like I’m in a bubble bath. I spent 8500 dollars and wish I could give back or sell it. I owned a Therma Spa before this one and wish I had my old one back but it was getting old. I wasted time and money with this spa. I don’t even use it cause can’t get it to be clear. I have not used it in a couple weeks and all the scum is always on the sides after I cleaned the spa several times and refilled the spa 4 times since September due to scum and foam. I am very dissatisfied with 9 ft unit. I wish I could give it back!

    First off this is my second Master Spas hot tub and it was bought from Master Spas of Southern Wisconsin. I purchased it on August 13 2017, it was delivered on September 29 2017. When I bought this I was told that upon delivery that it would be all set up when they left, well guess what? I was told they would not hook it up electrically. Not happy. So I took care of it. Then 3 weeks after I had it I noticed water was constantly on the pad. After looking at it I call and told them that it was leaking and was told "IMPOSSIBLE. They don't leak." After 3 weeks of nasty talks they sent a service etc out to look and sure enough it was leaking. Two weeks later they came and took it to their showroom, pulled the bottom off, pulled a lot of insulation off, and according to them the water poured out but could not find a leak. I was asked to come and look and to see that it was not leaking and they could not find the leak.

    When I got there they had the tub on 4x4s and had it filled to the min. water level. I asked them to fill it to just below the control panel and run the pumps, guess what, sure enough from the water being up higher and the pumps running and splashing on the waterfall control water started to leak. Now at this time the manager told me that I had it to full, yep to full. After they pulled the control off, broke it in the process, replaced it and silicone around the LED light, no more leak. Now I was told that they would refoam it and deliver it the next week.

    When they brought the tub to my home, it was dirty, had leaves in the bottom and no foam! I called them and was Hung up on. So I called M.S. Home customer service and they listened very intently. Said they would get back to me. A week later I called again and was asked to send pictures, which I did. Never heard back. Called again, same story. So now here I am with a $7,500 hot tub, no foam insulation, a bottom that looks like a child put it on with big screws and no customer service. Guarantee I will not buy another Master Spas hot tub.

    We bought a Master Spas tub 10 years ago for our house at the time and had a pretty good luck with it, so when we built this house, we bought another one. We got the Twilight Series and we bought it from Brian at Phoenix Spas and Hot Tubs. We ordered a light grey top to it, almost like a cameo silver, and we told him that if we didn't like it, we would like to get the dark grey top. He said that it’s not a problem and that he could take care of it. He also told us he had a roof rack in his car and since we live only three miles away, he would deliver it to us. Now, it's been almost 40 days and we still don't have the top.

    Every time we call him, he just sends us a text that saying it's in process. I don't understand how there can't be a dark grey Jacuzzi top for our hot tub in that store ever. That's pretty much the way he's made it sound to us, so he's lying and trying to get out of giving us the color top that we want. But every time we call Master Spas direct, we couldn't get a hold of anybody. All they do is record this and record that and then send us off somewhere else. Other than that, we love the spa. We spent almost $9,000 on it and we want our $200 top.

    I bought a hot tub about 2 years ago at one of their barbecue and hot tub shows. 6600.00 dollars. Nice tub I thought. After 2 years I noticed cracks on the top of the tub so I'm in the warranty period right. I email them with pics of the tub. And explain my concern. I get an email back stating that will cut me a check for 600.00 to buy out the rest of my warranty. I'm absolutely heart broke over this. 6600.00 dollars I spent. Then they call and say well its just our policy and then I can have it replaced for $2000.00 to pay shipping. A hell no. I paid $6600.00 already. It seems unfair to me.

    I had another tub for 12 years prior. All it needed was a cover and a heater. Under a $1000.00. Wish I kept it. I'm so upset and sad about this. Would be nice if these companies could back their product. I felt like the person I dealt with tried to find more excuses to make it my fault than theirs. It's never been moved since they delivered it. They said it should not cost them. It should not cost me. I paid already once. It's not fair. I would not purchase anything from this company. Shame on you Master Spas. I hope this helps whoever reads this. I will see you Master Spa at the next convention in many states to tell the truth. Very sad day here.

    As discussed with you, there are several things that can cause this cracking including extended exposure to sunlight, an uneven foundation that the hot tub may be sitting on, use of harsh chemicals (may include cleaning items), and/or a fiberglass issue. Per the written warranty and as communicated with you directly, we have offered to replace the hot tub free of charge excluding freight, even though we have not been able to fully determine the cause of the issue. If you have another means of transporting the hot tub from our factory to you at a lower cost, please let us know and we will be happy to facilitate what we can.

    Master Spas had an expo and we went over there on the last day about the last hour. We talked to a fellow but he had been talking to someone else so he put us with a lady and she sold it. She said she got one finally fit in her house and that she loved it. She said we're going to love it, too. We had been looking for a hot tub for a long time anyway and their product seemed to be what we wanted.

    They also asked us if we wanted it any sooner than the coming Tuesday and I said sure. The next day, a gentleman brought the tub out but he forgot to bring the umbrella that we got with it. So the young man that we talked to in the beginning helped to deliver the tub afterwards. As I understand, his grandfather owns the company so he was doing more than just selling their products. He was also very knowledgeable about what he was talking about. Both guys were very nice and polite. They did a super job and we couldn't ask for a better experience from them. Overall, Master Spas has been great and we love everything about our hot tub. I've been paying bills for the last 34 years and I'm worn out so I needed the massage on the shoulders and legs. We get in there, watch the lights in different colors and it's relaxing.

But when we got it, it had an air apparently when it had been put together. It was form of a wind and a guy came down and put it back together again. They also switched a couple of sensors and the guy came down on a Sunday and put the sensors right. The hot tub has added enjoyment, but also work.

They took the time to show us all the products. So far, we've only used the hot tub three or four times. I don't have much use with it yet but it has a warranty.

    I wanted a separate spa and swim tank and Master Spas was one of the few companies that do that. I purchased the Michael Phelps Momentum D and the sales part was fantastic. They called me every hour and gave me all the information. They made sure all my questions were answered. However, we had a little delivery issue. I have a vinyl fence already up and I do not have a six-foot gate for them to get through with anything but it worked out. The area behind me was not built yet so they were able to bring the crane in and bring the spa over that way.

    Master Spas' guy never showed up so they reached out to an outside vendor who did. We ended up having to contact Master Spas. They kept saying the issue was inexperience on the consumer. The filter wasn't being cleaned and that’s why it wasn’t heating. It was found out later on that the program had never been told to turn on the circulation pump so I’ve never had it heat. I got the hot tub in June and it was October before they came out and found my problem. The owner wanted to say that it was a dip switch but the installer was smart enough. He’d been doing it a long time and he says, “I’m gonna prove to you it’s not a dip switch.” He did a hard wire around it and it worked and so the owner believed him. We got the programmer on the phone and the owner shared his password because they wouldn’t talk to a vendor without somebody approving it.

    We were concerned that it was gonna be an issue but it worked out. The owner went ahead and gave the programmer his code and they told us how to reprogram it and it’s working just fine now. It was never my issue but they wrote me up on Better Business Bureau that I didn’t know what I was doing. It’s not their fault and I don’t know how to clean the filters. The installer said, “It doesn’t matter what you did. The brain was not ever told to turn on that pump. It would have never heated.” And Master Spas kept telling me it was my issue. I hate to be ugly about it but when I closed out the Better Business Bureau, I gave the owner credit because, without his passcode, we would have been fighting with programmers for another week.

    Other than that, I love my tub. I don’t regret getting it. I just was concerned that if I'm having as much trouble in the beginning, what’s gonna happen when it actually has an issue? The installer guy that’s been working on these for 17 years said I have a really good one and probably won’t have any more issues but if I do, I had his number.

Nick, one of the guys who did it, seemed like he wanted to get my money then to hell with it. I also needed something so I can pull the top off by myself and I have called every person for it, even their 1-800 number. The guy shot me an email and told me that the man in charge with that would call me back but he never did. I live in Florida and I went to all places to try to get one of those lifters from them but they said I have to go back to the manufacturer. It was ridiculous. So I don't have a lifter because I can't get one.

    I don't have any manual either and that's what I don't understand. They were telling me there was some manual to tell me what not to do and what and how I push on the touch screen, but I've got nothing. The spa itself is wonderful but I don't even know how to use it. When I first bought it, my light turned on and they said there are different colors but it’s stuck on blue and I don't know how to change it. They also said they gave me a little packet of chemical and that was it. So I love the spa itself but not the people who did it.

    I went to an expo in Marlborough at a hotel. I was in the market for a hot tub and I've read that there was going to be one there. They only had Master Spas there and I checked out what they had. I was originally looking at the wellness one because I have a lot of friends and I want to share it. But they didn't have the size that I wanted that I could afford so I ended up with the Getaway Series. There were four brand names that I was comfortable purchasing and Master Spas was on that list. They have a good reputation and I like the spa that I got. It was the size of the tub that I wanted and within the price range that I wanted. It's a really high-end tub. Also, the sales rep had been serving Master Spas for years and he was exceptionally helpful. If it wasn't for him, I'm not sure where I was going.

    The tub has all the fabulous features that a Master Spas has in there. It has waterfall and sliding, and the lights change colors. It has 40 jets and I like the depth of it because my shoulders get covered. I have an illness which is the main reason why I bought it and it's providing me with a great deal of relief. I also liked that it was made in America. The insulation was amazing but the Polyethylene was from Canada. I thought the insulation would be really helpful to keep the electricity cost down, thinking it was covered in the winter time. I live in New England and we have a cold weather. I can also get music to open in it but I didn't really need all that. I love the ozone feature on it and I love the filter that it comes with.

    However, I'm a new hot tub owner so I'm making a few mistakes. I had the tub installed for about three weeks and I'm a little concerned about the continuing filtration. It does not appear to be working when I put it on that. I just found this out today and I haven't had a chance to call the dealership that I bought the tub from. Other than that, buying the tub was the best thing I've ever done. It's something I do first thing in the morning and the last thing at night before I go to bed. It's like having a spa in my home.

    On the other hand, my best friend bought a house that already had an old Jacuzzi spa. Their spa compared to mine is like driving a Kia and driving a Maserati. They're totally different. Theirs has a weird and textured material. It was smaller and didn’t have the foot spa and the cupholders. While my Master Spa was designed for a tall man because my husband is 6'2, and he loves it. He has a lot of back issues which is the main reason why we bought it. This is a way for him to be able to relax and get a good rest. I also like the specific seat where it has the most jets from the lower to the upper back section.

    The delivery was good as well. They called me like I requested so I could meet them here at the house. They were a little bit earlier than they scheduled, but they were professional, nice and offered to throw away the trash. They were also educated because I got a starter kit of chemicals and they explained to me how to use, work, and maintain them, which was helpful for a new spa owner. I had an easy experience overall.

    We were shopping around and were able to get a great price from the salesperson from Master Spas. I purchased the Healthy Living hot tub from them. We liked how big it was and we also liked their features. It has the light and the specialized mineral filter. It's just what we were looking for and we use it almost every day. Also, they have good customer service. Anytime we've had a question, they returned our call and helped us. They made the experience pretty painless and I've already recommended them.

    I wanted a spa and Master Spas came on and I told my husband. I didn’t know he was gonna buy it then but we should have waited. If we went somewhere else, they probably would have helped us more. I haven’t had it installed yet. We spent almost $8,000 and it’s sitting in the backyard collecting dust. We keep trying to find people who will hook it up to the electricity but nobody wanted to dig up my ground. We just decided to leave it until next year until we find somebody.

    We didn’t know it was gonna be this much trouble. The Master Spas rep didn’t really explain. He just said that all we had to do is plug it up, fill it with water and we’re fine. So far it’s not like that. Now we’re gonna spend a couple more thousand dollars to dig up the ground and put wiring. It’s gonna cost more money. It’s gonna wind up to $10,000. They should have told us that it’s a lot of trouble having a spa. They shouldn’t have made it like it was 1-2-3. I’m very dissatisfied and I will not recommend Master Spas to a friend. I’ll tell them to go to another place.

    When I went to the expo, the salesman, who was a very great salesman, one of the things that he had told us was that there would be two waterfalls. We do have two waterfalls but the one waterfall is not what I expected. He described the waterfall as falling over the filter and we purchased the tub partially because of that, but that was not what we got. When my brother called Master Spas, he was told that with the HL8.5 model that we have, we have the right waterfall. We had purchased from Master Spas prior, so the one that we had, we had purchased from them at the same exposition center. From what the guy told us, the updated version of what we had, we didn’t like the seats on that because we felt like the seats were way too low. We went with this model because it was similar and we like the comfort of the seats. We also like the color and the layout of it.

    I work two jobs so by the time I get home, Master Spas office is closed for me to call. It’s also hard for me to talk during the day because I’m a teacher and can’t spend time on a phone call, so my brother was the one calling to check up on when it was supposed to be getting delivered. We’re still figuring out how to use the hot tub, but I don’t feel like the jets are as powerful as they were on my previous one. But it still does the job and I still enjoy using it. It was just sad and I was really upset with the fact that I put $9,000 into a product that I thought I was going to get. For the most part, I’m happy with the experience. The only issue was that I got the spa that wasn’t exactly what I was promised. Other than that, when I went there, the guy knew exactly everything about the spa and he was very helpful.

    We got a jacuzzi whirlpool hot tub from Master Spas because it can be moved if we choose to do that. The outside is hard and I like that it’s durable. We've had one service call in 10 years. We’ve had a different brand of tub before that, and compared to it, our Master Spas tub is bigger and has more neck jets. The other one just had regular jets at the back. I like our Master Spas hot tub. It's very nice. I very much enjoy it and it's been easy to use.

    Master Spas gave us the better deal and their hot tub had all the features we were looking for. But the installers and the delivery people messed up on our order a couple of times. They told us they’d be here about three hours and ended up being here about eight hours into the night. And when they delivered the hot tub, they had the wrong color on the outside. They never explained. They just said the wrong color got ordered and they went ahead and installed it. Then, they had to come back after they ordered the new parts to go on the outside and swap everything out. Also, after they all left, one of the setup kit bottle they delivered with the hot tub was almost empty when we opened it. When they came back the next week they had to bring us another bottle of it. Other than that, we’ve enjoyed the hot tub. It’s getting colder outside so using the hot tub has been nicer lately and we’ll definitely use it more.

    I purchased a three-person hot tub from Master Spas. I was at work then and they had a tent sale at a ballpark. I deliver beer for a living and everything from the neck down hurts five days a week so I bought it. I've been in Master Spas before over the last year but I always thought that they were a bit too pricey, but I understand that they're a top-of-the-line maker. I have also met someone from Master Spas who came off a little brusque. He was the only one in there and it seemed like he wanted to see me what Michael Phelps trains in but it was not what I was looking for.

    When I bought my unit I was approached by a different lady and the original guy I met before also came out and he told me about the 94% chemical list. He took me down to where they had a couple filled up so you can smell the water and feel it. That experience is why I bought it and the fact that the customer service and the interaction were there. During the transaction I asked the rep about the free delivery and what its catch was. And the guy was like, “Well, the catch is today is Thursday. We won’t start delivering until Sunday and we probably can’t get it to you until the following Tuesday.” It was like 10 days and I said, “Well, can I just come down and get it Sunday? They weren’t gonna hook it up anyway. They were just gonna deliver it."

    He agreed and when I got to the outlet, the rep gave me a year's supply of chemicals and filters for the tub that seemed like $450 worth of stuff. Whenever I use the tub before I go to bed at night, I feel a lot better and I fall asleep easier. I get up in the morning feeling rested like I got a better night’s sleep. I can tell the difference. The quality of the tub is good and the service was great. I’d recommend Master Spas.

    I went to a civic arena thing where they had a hot tub blowout sale and just got sucked into the salesman. I'm very dissatisfied with my hot tub that I purchased though and wish I had kept my 10-year-old hot tub. I'm having a hard time cleaning the Master Spas tub. Also the filter is crooked and doesn't fit in there right and so I can't even put the cover on it. I've called the manufacturer and the store I purchased it from. They listened to my complaints but all they did was send me a filter in the mail. Also, the hot tub store here in Michigan is a useless store and I would never recommend their service. I couldn't get them to call me back after a dozen phone calls.

    Master Spas should fix my hot tub. It's really obvious that the filter mechanism in there touches on one side where it's supposed to be one of those floating ones. The cover floats up and down, and it won't even do that. With any kind of an inspection at all, they could have noticed that. And I wondered if they tried to get rid of it. It definitely turned me off and I wouldn't recommend Master Spas just because of that.

    We got the Michael Phelps swim spa from Master Spas back in August.

The pool portion of it was for me, while its spa portion was for my wife. They sent me a book via UPS and I haven't had the time to sit down and learn how to work the spa.

    I wish there was a little more training or that they would send somebody out to show us how to get the unit filled correctly and prime the pump after we get electricity to it because this pool may have an electricity run wires to it because it's so big and so complex. It's not one of those that you can plug in to a regular socket and it works. So I haven't been able to get water in it because I've been waiting for directions to figure out where to stick the water hose to fill it up and prime in the pump. It's been sitting on our back porch just collecting dust. Also, we haven't received the bill from anybody for the financing department side of it. We're trying to figure that out so we can start paying the bills and we're not following behind.

    I purchased the Twilight series from Master Spas because of the performance and durability. I could tell that the construction of the overall unit is a lot better compared to the other tubs I have looked at. We are happy with the continuous circulating pump where the water is constantly moving even when we're not using it. The Master Spas reps were excellent. Whenever I've got a question about something, I call them up and they got the answers for me right away. I talked to other people who had purchased spas from them and they told us how good the reps were to deal with. My wife and I would go sit out there in what we call sessions because the spa has timers on it for 15 minutes. We also waltz ahead with other family members a couple of different times. Everybody has definitely come out and really enjoyed the spa.

    When the installer came and got it all set up, he went over the list and says, "Okay, this is what you have to do. You got this, this, this, this, this and this." I stood there dumbfounded and I suggested to our dealer that Master Spas should come out with a DVD when people purchase a product from them showing what needs to be done step by step and informing me of what I needed to do without having to bother them. It's a hands-on and learning experience for me and my wife. And it has also taken me a while to figure out the different chemicals.

    My wife and I have two little kids and we wanted something basic. Master Spas offered a tub that had what we needed with the right price and it was on sale. It was an entry-level hot tub and it was about six grand. We ended up going to the store and talked to the sales guy. He told me about the tub then I did some research on it. The reviews seemed pretty good so we went with it and it was about a week and a half long process.

    The tub came with a starter kit and Master Spas got it all ready for us. I'm happy with my tub but when they delivered it, they kept changing the delivery time and it screwed my schedule so I wasn't able to be there when they showed how to use it. They gave me a window when they're going to deliver it and I told them that I had to be somewhere at a certain time. I said I had to leave 15 minutes after the end of the window so they said they took me on the front of the list of deliveries. But they got here 10 minutes before I had to leave so I wasn't able to stay for them to show me how to drain the tub, which was pretty important. I had my wife listen to them but she didn't pay close attention as I would have so that was a little frustrating and I feel like I'm in the dark. I've been reading the manual, which I hate doing, but I have to since I didn't get the walk-through process that I was looking for.

    I meant to call them and ask if there is any way they could come back out, set up an appointment, stick with it and walk me through. I plan on asking them how to drain the tub and I was hoping they'd call and check in with me. But it hasn't happened. I'm just going to get on the net and find out if I can get some kind of a tutorial on draining the tub. I'm a realtor, I know how sales works and they could get a pretty good referral business going if they do things right. The sales guy could follow up with people after they get the hot tub delivered and see how everything went. Other than that, I was satisfied with my experience. I had a hot tub growing up and that was a long time ago but I feel like the quality of the Master Spas' tub is pretty good. I would recommend them but people should do their research and make sure it's what they want.

    We felt comfortable working with the company we bought Master Spas from. And while we were there, a few customers came in who are more than happy to chime in and let us know how happy they were. Also, Master Spas has a decent reputation and I like their price and quality. This is our second hot tub because we lost our first one, a MAXX, in a house fire. We didn't go with MAAX due to the price. We asked for a quote, but they didn't get back to us and lost all our info. When we called back they quoted for an entirely different spa.

    The spa we got from Master Spas has fewer features than what we looked at before. However, it ended up being at a similar price point, before sales and everything else. It has a 24-hour continuous filter pump, which is better for the system overall. But, the other one had two speeds for two separate pumps, so there was a little more customization from that point of view. They were even at the end of the day. The features they had were offset by what they didn't have. We've used our spa for a week and it seems to be high-quality. It's a little louder than I expected because they touted how quiet it was, but it's really not any quieter than our old spa. However, we're happy with it.

    I would recommend putting the steps at a different spot than where the controls are. Not only that, the controls are on the side where all of the electrical is, which is what the side you want closest to the house, and it's a little awkward. We ended up not being able to use the steps inside the spa as anything other than seats because of the proximity to the house. It just doesn't work. We tried to figure out different ways to reposition it, but there's no way. That part is simply designed badly. It doesn't affect the actual quality and the experience, but we can't take advantage of those inside steps when getting in and out.

    At the end of August, we purchased an eight or seven-seater Master Spas hot tub from Niagara Hot Tubs. Though this is my first one, my wife's family had one and there were certain things we wanted to check. The insulation on the back and the way it was plumbed are some of the reasons I looked at it. I also took into consideration that you could move the jets from port to port if you wanted to set up a chair differently and that it's made in Utah or in Canada. They both have the same weather and have hot and cold climates. It was also the right size for my family.

    The other hot tubs didn't offer the same options at the price point we were looking at. Master Spas gave more value for my money than the other companies that we looked at. Plus, the price was at the right place for what we got. The configuration worked and my family loves it. So far, someone from my family is in it every day, whether in the morning when two of my kids jump in it before they go to school or when they come home. It would get used all-year-round.

    The hot tub was delivered to our second home in Michigan, but I had accidentally put our home address in Indiana. They said they were not going to cover it under warranty because they thought we had moved it, even if we never did. I'm not happy and we're still trying to figure that issue out. I finally talked to one of the managers and, as far as I know, the part was supposed to be sent to the contractor that's going to do the work. Hopefully, that has happened, but I still need to follow up on that. For the most part, we enjoy having the tub.

    I looked at a lot of therapeutic type spas and Master Spas was the best. Some spas were expensive and some less expensive, but none were as good. I got the Legacy 800 since the 900 was huge and the 700 didn't have the two lumbar jests that hit really hard. Their team was knowledgeable and addressed all my questions and issues. Their delivery crew was nice and knew what they were doing. The guy who explained stuff to me knew what he was talking about and was able to explain it to me perfectly.

    It was expensive, but I got what I paid for. It is a really, really high-quality spa and the pumps are powerful. Most of the other cheaper spas may have all the sprayers, but the jets don't push very hard. If somebody wants to buy a therapeutic type spa that is really going to help their back, then there is really no other option.

    I got the Essex hot tub from Master Spas. I like their price and the quality was better compared to other manufacturers. I bought the hot tub at a show in New Hampshire and I met with the salesman who talked to us about it. He said four to six weeks but it was 10 weeks so, that was a disappointment. We picked the hot tub up, they helped us lower it on the truck and they walked us through how to use the chemicals and to test it. I had used Jacuzzi before and its jets are stronger compared to Master Spas. Other than that, Master Spas is a high-quality hot tub.

    We purchased a Master Spas' Momentum D where they separated the swim and the spa sections so that you could have two different temperatures between the two sections. We researched around online, then went into one of their showrooms and tried out the spa. We also looked at a lot of other swim spas, but the main consideration was the swim experience. With a lot of the other swim spas, you swim against a jet and it was like swimming in a washing machine. Whereas the Momentum uses a current and you can see the bottom.

    The pre-sales was very good. I received many emails, but they were targeted and weren't just blasted, so good information was coming out of the pre-sales. Post-sales was okay, but not too fantastic. I'm still waiting for the replacement of a couple of faulty parts but they've been responsive and attentive to my calls and to the process. We definitely paid a premium for their experience and technology, but it has proved worth the extra. However, some things could have been better. The quality wasn't quite there in some parts of the spa, specifically the Wi-Fi app, as well as a couple of other things. And I'm still waiting for the resolution to those.

    There was a delay between the delivery and the setup of the spa, though it was partially my fault because I was traveling. The guy who delivered the spa didn't know much about the spa itself, but fair enough. His job is to deliver, not to ask questions. But then it took a couple of weeks before somebody actually came out to set-up and run through the spa. It would have been good if those were quoted together and there was more post-sales service immediately following the delivery where they tell you to do this or don't do that. that.

    I wanted to be able to swim in my backyard year-round without having to do an indoor pool, so I got a Michael Phelps Swim Spa from Master Spas. I also considered The Endless Pool, but The Michael Phelps' pool motor was contained in the unit, so it didn't stick out in the swim area. It was also quieter. Though I'm not thrilled about the cheap vinyl exterior shell that Master Spas used. I got to figure out a way to cover that. But otherwise so far, so good. I'm also not sure about the wood framing, that could have been aluminum or something more sturdy, but time will tell. I just had the spa for a couple of weeks, but I've used it a bunch and I like it.

    I was originally looking at an endless pool, but as soon as Doug showed me the Michael Phelps and some of the things they’ve done, we were sold. Doug was the deciding factor, but I’ve water skied all of my life and I liked the fact that the Phelps pool has a propeller in it which is a technology that I'm very familiar with. My wife and I also liked that the Phelps pool is flat in the back, so we have more swim area. If we want to sit down, we can do it on the spa. There’re three seats at the back and the fact that that we can dial the pool in with our iPad makes it even nicer ‘cause everything is technology-based now. The pool is well-designed and at a fair price. Plus, Doug was wonderful and professional to work with and got me the electrician when we were building. He couldn’t help us enough and he made sure we got the right one.

    The Phelps pool works perfectly for our purposes, and we decided the one we wanted was the Signature. Plexiglass would not be enough to separate the temperatures in the larger pool with a separated hot tub. Putting a piece of fiberglass would’ve made all the difference in the world to us and we would have upgraded to the next level. I also ended up going with the End 2 End cover on the Signature, but if they had the Axis cover for the Signature at the time, I would have purchased it. We built a garage for the spa to go into plus I have a ski boat, so we wanted a nice-sized garage to put it into the max.

    We’re heating the garage and having the pool in there during the winter and it’s coming out well. Master Spas got the pool in and it’s exactly where I want it to be, but I had an accident and broke my clavicle, so we didn’t put the pool up yet. Master Spas has been great and as soon as we get the pool filled up and everything arranged, I’m certainly going to post a picture. We love the pool and we can’t wait to get it hooked up and ready to run.

    I would have gone with Artesian, which is the spa that I had for 20 years, but Crocker Sales no longer carries it and they recommended Master Spas. I have a history with Crocker, and I liked their attention to customer service. The power on the Master Spas was not quite as strong as the Artesian and I’m not pleased with the plastic steps. They’re lightweight and I’m afraid this winter that they’re going to have a tendency to be very slippery. Plus, it does not have a grip handle. I’m 70 years old, so it’s very precarious to get in and out of the spa.

    The rep Amanda was very upbeat and nice. She offered to let us do a demo which we didn’t do, and I’m fine with that. There was a little switching in and out of colors, and the delivery was a whole different story. When the electrician was hooking it up, I was a little taken back by the fact that there’s no installation inside. It’s state-of-the-art stuff where the foam isn't done anymore and it looks like there’s an aluminum material around the tub, but the whole inside is not insulated which concerned me. However, I love the spa. It’s nice and I hope it’s going to be as environmentally efficient as was sold to us.

    We bought a small corner spa that we wanted to put inside of a sunroom. One of the huge selling points was how well-insulated it is and I agree with the fiberglass which is definitely nice and strong. However, we did not get the one that we had talked to the salesperson about. There was supposed to be a small pump in there that runs to circulate water and that was like a third pump but when we got the machine, it was not that way. It had two very large pumps in it and they said to run those 24 hours a day. We paid a lot of money for this thing and a large pump costs a lot to run and to replace when it decides to quit because it's running all the time.

    The spa seems to work well but we never really got any training on how to set up the timer or how to adjust chemicals and I've had to figure these things out the best I can on my own so it was very poor service. But what I'm really concerned about is the longevity of the pump and how much it is going to cost, and what really upsets me is that the absolutely no customer service. I told Michelle, the owner of the franchise here in the city, that I was going to call the manufacturer and put in a bad word for it. But she said she'd be more than happy to take care of it no matter what.

    She said she'd be more than happy to drive up here to St. Joe. It's probably 60 miles away and she never did that. She had sent me an email to keep in contact but I never heard another thing from her and that's been three weeks ago. For the money I spent for them and then to be treated that way, it was like all they are worried about was the money. I would never buy anything from them again.

Then a week or two later, they brought the steps, and they looked like they got ran through a shredding machine. I understand about the floor, but the steps have been abused. They were just scratched and torn up and not very nice. But other than that, no problems. The delivery people local in Vegas will get me a new pair since they have it here.

    I was in the market for a swim spa and I didn't want a jet-style one. I wanted a propulsion system so I looked at Master Spas and Endless Pools since they were the only two manufacturers that do propulsion systems in a swim spa. The Michael Phelps Momentum spa has been very good and I mostly use its propulsion system. However, I have some service issues that need to be taken care of and Master Spas does not have a store in Las Vegas. They subcontract their service out to a third party and I've found that their third-party representation is lacking. It's obvious that Master Spas is not the third party's only customer. Master Spas will soon have a local office and eventually their third-party contractor will go away and Master Spas will become the sole representative and service arm in Vegas. But until that happens, I'm not dealing with the third-party contractor.

    I liked the overall construction of the Twilight 8.3 and that it’s assembled with a lot of American made parts instead of foreign parts. The gal from Master Spas who sold me the tub was pretty knowledgeable but all I got was conflicting stories from every other person who worked there. They told me about the features of one tub, demonstrated it and that's what I bought. But when they delivered, I got something else. I made them take it back but when they brought the second tub, it was still not the one I ordered.

    After talking with Master Spas head office here in Fort Collins, Colorado, I still got no resolution. I was told what I got was bigger and better but nobody could explain the features that I got and why it's better. I got one additional feature which they threw in for free and that's a positive on them. But all the rest of it was an absolutely horrible situation. Also, when they delivered it, the guy gave me the quick five-minute tour and was out the door. He forgot that he's done this 1000 times and I've done it once. And when I bought the tub, I got a $200 credit but now they’re saying that’s all gone. They brought me stuff for the $200 credit but I didn't get any of that so I lost 200 bucks there.

    I emailed corporate about the two problems that I have on their website but I haven't heard from them and that's been months. It's also signed on my contract that if there were problems, they would send a service tech out and I've yet to see that. When I step back and think about it, it’s like I was buying a used car. Not that I want to slam used-car salesmen, but it's all the shuck and jive. The owner even got on the phone the first day I was trying to buy the tub and tried to sell me the world. Then I bought what I wanted and paid tens of thousands for it, but I didn't get that and got a different product. I would never recommend Master Spas.

"We will call you THIS week, before the weekend"... They never called. Called my salesman hoping he could help... He said give the service dept a call, not much he could do. Called service again..."Oh it's an easy fix, should be out in the next day or two"... Nothing.

    When we purchased our spa we were so excited and couldn't wait to enjoy it. It has been over 2 months and we still have a broken SPA. The day it was delivered it had a significant leak (things happen I get it) so I proceeded to call and have it resolved. It took almost 2 weeks just to get a service technician out to the house. He came out and did stop the leak but only partially resealed the spa. He told me there was a significant amount of glue on the jet housing and it needed to be replaced and he would be back out when the parts arrived. Well it’s been 2 months and it’s still not fixed. I have had the foam ripped of the bottom of the spa and there it sits waiting to be fixed. Please do NOT purchase from these people. The true measure of a company is customer service. Anyone can deliver a tub with hot water. This company does not believe in customer service. Don't make the same mistake I did. Please!!!

    Updated on 10/11/2017: Back on August 18th I comment about a SPA repair that was months in the waiting to be performed. This was related to a leak in the newly delivered, SPA. I got a near immediate response from Master Spas stating they would look into it. Well it's 7 weeks later and nothing. I have not heard anything else about the repair from a service tech.

    I went into the Master Spas dealer and ended up purchasing a Twilight 6.2. I was sold on its size, all the updates and the efficiency. It's got this filtration system to make the tub easier to maintain the water chemicals. The reps were knowledgeable, answered my questions and made suggestions. The installation done wasn’t the normal where you just bring the tub to replace another. I had one that was in the deck, so I had to get people to seal the deck, put concrete footings on it for the additional weight on top, and electricians. The reps were helpful with that. They gave me the name of a good electrician that they work with, and that helped out. Those modifications cost me a little more but leaving that out of the equation, the tub was comparable to all the rest in terms of price. We’ve had it since June and everybody loves it; my wife, my niece, everybody that uses it. As I am getting older, it also helps me with some aches I'm getting and it feels good.

    However, the first problem has come up and I'm just hoping this is the last for a long time. I have a warranty service appointment next week because one of the features is not working properly. There's a water feature that usually comes out with power and it looks like a waterfall. Now, it's just trickling out. It started last week and I just went to the dealer and told them the problem.

    We purchased a Master Spas hot tub from the sales rep at a convention that we went to. It had more jets in it than most of the other ones and we were told that because it had a three pump system that it would run all the jets at the same time. They sold it to us as a turnkey deal and ended up not being what we expected when they got out here to install it.

    They installed it on a Sunday afternoon and didn't finish until almost 10:30 at night. Then we had to wait for the electrician to come out to be able to get any type of demonstration on how to use it which we never really got. We were also told at the show when we decided to purchase it, that we were going to purchase one that was a little less expensive. That's why we spent the extra $1,500 to get this and come to find out it doesn't work that way. This one was a bit more expensive but it was a better deal than the one we were looking at prior. And because of the fact that it was sold through Primo Spa and we're told that Primo would have a store coming soon in our area, we were confident that we would have good service from them.

    We tried to get a hold of the rep that sold the hot tub to us but he never called back. We had to deal with the Primo Spa in Houston. The quality of the hot tub is fine but it’s sitting in my backyard right now doing nothing. It was sold as a package deal with a deck and Master Spas had the deck company out there and sent them over to us. The deck people that they had at the convention came out and put in a deck but they've yet to complete it. We only had three or four weeks of use out of it and we had to drain it and wait for them to finish this deck. I’m not happy with the deck people but they said they'll be out here sometime this week.

    While we could use our Master Spas hot tub, it was great and it helped my wife. However, it was very disappointing that we couldn't have more than two or three people in the spa at a time because it's the six person spa but when you try to use certain chairs, the other chairs don't work. So in that aspect of it, I'm not very happy at all.

    We spent almost $17,000 on this adventure. We were upset with the spa and they kept telling us we shouldn’t worry because they’ll get out here and take care of all our problems. We called them and when they finally came out, they said they will put our lid cover on or razor assist. They put that on and explained everything on a Sunday night at 8:00 pm. All the experiences I've had with this deal, I wouldn’t recommend anybody using the people we've had to use on this. It’s disappointing and also too expensive for what we got.

    I talked to some people who said Master Spas was a good tub. They had good luck with it and I thought it was a good bargain since there was a promotion at the Shriners in Wilmington. The sales reps were really good -- knowledgeable, friendly, and no pressure. They knew they had a good product to sell. The delivery team was wonderful too so the process went well.

    But I’d like to go talk to them about the little fountains in the tub. One of the kids went to get in the tub, hit the fountains and the copper came off easily. It seems like it's not been adjusting together all that well and they seem to be easily taken off and on. But It’s not that big a deal so I’m gonna go by and find out what I’ve got to do to fix it. I was just surprised that the fountains are placed right where people get in and out. But it's been fun. The tub has added excitement to the kids and people come over and use it. So far, so good.

    We purchased The Michael Phelps hot tub by Master Spas. We like the looks and the style of it. It was expensive but it had more jets and the massage therapy. We've had Master Spas before and we were looking at other hot tubs. If the prices were comparable, we might have been into a different one but the other ones were even higher. But we have dealt with this company once before and they were decent and easy to work with. But after getting down and seeing it when it was delivered, the material looked like it was more chintzy and cheesier than some of the other hot tubs that I've seen. It didn't seem like the quality of materials used was rugged and strong enough. The sides and everything else were very flimsy, not like a little bit higher quality sides.
