I like the tub's seating capacity and the price. It took less than three weeks to put it in. I use it mostly for post-workout. I worked for the vendor when I was in high school and college. I enjoyed working there for four years, and the people are still lovely.

We wanted a smaller tub and we got one from Master Spas. It had the two pumps, and it had the most jets. One problem we had with an older spa was that it would wake us up in the middle of the night when it started cycling water. But this tub had the three-amp circulating motor which keeps the heat going very quietly. It was definitely an economical purchase compared to some of the other spas. The quality seems there, and the mechanicals of it are superior. The sales team that was at the beginning were phenomenal and very helpful and made delivery very easy for us. When we got the spa, it had a small poke hole in the cover. I reported it and it was a very pleasant experience. They were bending over backwards, wanted pictures, and they were gonna ship out a new top for us. There was no question that if there’s any problem with that spa, they will be right there to guide us along.

We went to one of those road shows, and then did a background check on Master Spas, which is awesome, and took a risk and bought it. So far, we’ve been totally thrilled. We had a problem with the controller module, and they had a guy out of here to replace it. All within very good timing. I got a small tub because I only use it myself. But it still had all the features of the big one with the lounger. I got bad feet, and the Master Blasters are awesome. It’s in the middle of the tub and it shoots two feet above the top of the tub on full. They’re quite impressive. You have to take the front off to replace the water, but most tubs have a stick it out on the outside. And that would be nice, because taking the front off is kind of a pain.
I called them to have somebody out and told them I was pretty sure what the problem is. They believed me, and the guy showed up with the part. It took about two weeks, and the guy had to come 100 miles away. Overall, it’s a good value. I checked all around here at the storefronts and we’ve had a fair price. The delivery was when they said it would be. Everything about them has been very smooth, and it seems like a really nice hot tub.

I got a Twilight series hot tub from Master Spas and I like it. I bought it at a trade show at the civic center where they came in on a one or two-day weekend sale. Compared to others, it has a decent value and cost-wise. I use it a couple of days a week.

Master Spas is located close to our home, so we went with them. In selecting the model, my husband is 6'7" so we needed the one that fits him. Our tub has the speakers and the jets. He got all the bells and whistles. The tub is great and it keeps the heat. We go out and use it every other night. Although it is a lot more expensive than the other ones that are out there, it matches that in quality. We had no idea what we were looking for, so the guy who sold this to us was very helpful. We went and looked at them and it took us a long time to kind of save the money and decide what we wanted. But, he was really nice and he kept sending me emails, and then asking if he could answer any questions and asking how we were feeling then. I really appreciated that. He really is the reason that we got the spa.

We're very happy with our Master Spas. We like its design and shape, and it's really insulated well. The jets are also good and so is the lighting. The man that came to demo it at the house when it was set up was very good. Also, the salesman and the people that delivered it were excellent. We got it on our deck right outside our door for about four or five months now. We get to use it when we want to, and it relaxes us.

My wife and I recently went to a Spa expo looking for a new spa to replace our old spa. Master Spas had a large variety of hot tubs to choose from. Purchased the Twilight 67.25 spa. The sales rep explained to me that this was a fantastic choice, and my family would enjoy it. I Truly have to say, this is a Great hot tub!!! My wife and I enjoy this tub every time we use it! Thank you Master Spas.

I recently bought a Legacy Intrepid from one of the shows. My wife and I had a fantastic and pleasant experience with the staff and loved the product. We were replacing our old tub which they helped haul away and installed the new tub. Since installation and having an electrician hook it up, we have loved the new tub. The water is always clean and a lot less work to take care of compared to our old tub. The tub hasn’t had any issues other than a malfunction with the digital control but it was under warranty and they had someone out to fix it in a few days. I will forever recommend this company to my friends and family. We were long time customers of the old brand we were using but we will always buy Master Spas from now on.
Thank you, Connor! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying your hot tub. Thank you for the kind feedback.

Master Spas' people were very good, showing me how to take care of the spa, and they’ve answered any question I had. The only confusion was trying to figure out which of the seats had the magnets in them, but I was able to get that information. So, I’m happy. Only, I would like to be able to turn the thermostat up one degree because it feels nice, but I can’t. It’s 104, and it’s as high it will go. I don’t think I can override that, but I understand that it’s a safety thing. The hot tub has a lot of things that I wasn’t planning on getting, but I was able to get a really good deal on it. So, the fact that it has little fountains and the lights change colors, wasn’t something I had on my must-have list, but I’m certainly enjoying them.

I purchased a Master Spas Twilight 8.25 a few months ago at a show in Medford, OR. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked in and saw a bunch of hot tubs, all the same color. I was however shown all the different models and features. I absolutely loved the TS 8.25. There a so many things going on on this tub. The Mineral system makes it very easy to take care of and I’m not soaking in chemicals. The foot jets are incredible as well. Neck and shoulder Jets are positioned perfectly. The price I was able to purchase this spa for was much less than any other comparable spas I looked at and the sales staff was very knowledgeable. Great spa, great price, great experience!
Thanks, Chad! We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying your new hot tub - it looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing about your experience. We appreciate it!

Went to a spa show and was a little concerned. The local spa guy told me not to buy from a traveling show. They said they had no service and sold cut rate spas. I found that not to be true after visiting the show. The sales guy was very knowledgeable and was great to deal with. They were one of the top major brands. Master Spas. I was glad to find out USA brand, USA parts. I am grateful I didn’t listen to the local guys. Plus got a better tub for a lower price. Thanks master spas.

I would give the spa an average rating. If I could do it all over again I would probably choose a different brand to be honest, but I have it now and it does the job just fine. First off the price. After taxes, so called discounts that everyone qualifies for, and no paid for extras, the total came out to about $9600 on my debit card. I think the price was higher if I financed, but he said I got the cash price. I'm fairly sure the guy next to me paid the same thing though to finance it, so I'm not sure. It's not a terrible price, as I wasn't looking for a ton of features. I didn't need a radio or some exotic butt scrubber.
The tub came fairly quickly, within a few days. The delivery team was very nice and did a good job. There was probably 6-7 scratches and markings that didn't come off, but the majority of them were all on one side. I just turned that side to where no one would see it. They don't take trash though, so beware you will be left with 1 big ** pallet to dispose of. It's like 9' x 4'. My trash company wouldn't take it. The hot tub was easy to hook up and heated up much faster than I expected.
Unfortunately after 2 days the tub quit working and the panel wouldn't turn on. I called Master Spa and they had a hot tub company come fix it within a week. I was actually fairly impressed with them. The hot tub fixing company asked me why I would ever buy a Master Spa though. Some of my concerns were verified now that I knew the company Master Spa hires to fix my Master Spa was not big fans of Master Spa. It is now over a month later and I do really enjoy this spa. The reason I'm giving this 3 stars are for the following reasons. The salesman told me I barely needed chemicals, it was super quiet, the jets are the strongest out of any spa this size
Cons:1. The salesman promised these things that were stretching the truth by a long shot.
2. I was told I only needed to add chemicals at most once a month. This thing needs them almost every day according to the manual. At minimum once per week. I wish I spend a bit more and got a brand with a saltwater system.
3. The tub is kinda loud. Louder than others I sat in. There are also manual valves that change jets, two of them hiss. I also don't think a tub in this price point should have to have the jets manually turned from one seat to another.
4. The jets aren't very strong. They are average at best, and when you have multiple seats going at once, the jets aren't strong at all.
5. I'm a bit worried how long it will last. It broke in two days, will it last 10 years? The warranty by the way only pays the repair man to drive 15 miles. After that you pay mileage fees.
Pros:1. It is a very large tub. 8x8 and gets my family of 2 adults and 2 kids well. We had 4 kids and 2 adults a week ago and it was fine.
2. The water heats quickly and stays hot reasonably well.
3. The tub looks sharp and the lights and waterfalls look cool.
4. The longer is really nice to sit in for someone that is 6'4. 240 I usually don't fit in many places well.
5. The cover is thick and seems well built.
There are radio add ons as well as other add ons, but for 10k you won't get any of that. The tub really isn't bad, and the instructional videos are far better than most any product I've bought. This tub is probably great for most people.

I bought my twilight spa from an event in Portland Oregon. The spa pool Bbq Show. I was greeted by a sales rep almost immediately. He introduced himself and spent a few minutes giving us the rundown on what we could expect. He was very professional and attentive. We had been looking to get a therapy spa and the sales rep spent a lot of time showing us the different features. I have to say the mineral filtration was the tipping point. We bought the 7 ft twilight spa and got a great deal compared to what we were looking at it had way more features. We had it for almost 6 months now and have zero complaints. We would do it all over again in a minute. We bought it on Sunday and were hit tubbing on Tuesday. All in all a complete success story. We would recommend Master Spa to anyone.

My experience with Master Spas has been fine. I have an 800 series hot tub, and I bought it for therapeutic purposes. I did a lot of research on it and I found out that it was probably the best spa on the market. They, however, had to make the model I like, so it took six weeks. The timeframe could have been better, but I understand that. The construction and the quality of the Master Spas far exceed most of the competition out there.

Updated on 11/06/2019: For some reason I can respond directly to Master Spas in a message but it won't post those comments on the initial review. As I stated in my previous review, the issues with my swim spa are due to a manufacturing defect that, as I'm told, are ongoing with ALL of the other models of this particular swim spa. The exterior cabinet panels warp and bow out and no matter how many times they come out to repair them/replace them, within a DAY the panels have once again warped and exposed the interior guts. Putting a band-aid on this issue is not going to resolve it, there needs to be a permanent solution, i.e. switching out all the panels for something more durable.
I was offered the above solution by Aqua Spas and was informed that Master Spas agreed to send out the necessary panels to do so, however they weren’t going to go out of their way to accommodate an upset customer, oh no. Since they missed the truck with the regular shipment to Aqua Spas, the rep there requested they send the pieces Fedex so they would arrive sooner and not leave the inner workings of my spa exposed to the elements. Master Spas flat refused and decided to wait until the next truck, which is two weeks out!
I am flabbergasted at the audacity of these people!! So now I am waiting another two weeks with the guts of my swim spa hanging out, just so they can save a few bucks on shipping! When I was informed that was the case, I let Aqua spas rep know that they will probably be replacing the control panels, once again, because of exposure to the elements. She responded that she understood and would be making a note of it. So, to say the least, I am not impressed with the customer service at Master Spas, all bluster and no actual recompense.
Original Review: My name is Kodi ** and in April of 2019 I received a Michael Phelps Master Spas from Aqua Spas. Having been excited to finally receive my swim spa, I was disappointed to discover several issues from the beginning. I am only posting this out of complete and utter frustration and want to warn everyone about the way I have been made to feel like a nuisance/inconvenience rather than a customer with issues needing resolved. It should have been red flag that something that required at least a team of two men to deliver ended up with only one.
Once our pool/spa had completely filled, I was surprised to discover that one of the jets was detached and floating around on the spa side. It was later explained to me the jets were removable, something that should have been explained during installation. I would like to say that my experience with Aqua Spas and Master Spas has improved since then, but it has only deteriorated further.
After numerous calls regarding missing speakers, to needing the Bluetooth receiver as well as a control panel replaced (many times with the technicians arriving without the proper replacement parts for my particular spa!), it was finally in working order, only for the exterior to start completely falling apart. Within the first three months, the soft tread padding that was installed on the pool side has started to curl up, and all the panels on the exterior have begun to warp and bow. Because the exterior panels are still warping after being replaced, moisture has managed to get into the interior cabinet, and I believe that that is why the control panel on the hot tub side is currently not working!
I have been informed that Master Spas has repeatedly sent the wrong parts needed to repair my swim spa, which has equated to several weeks--adding up to MONTHS--worth of delays. If that wasn’t enough, the communication breakdown on the part of Aqua Spas has been worse than anything I have ever experienced, and I have Comcast. I was informed after my initial three months was up that I would need to pay for service calls; having had previous experience with the communication issue, I was reluctant to pay, however I did so in order to get the issue resolved quickly. To the credit of the customer service department, I have not paid for a service call since, being that there has been mistake after mistake on their behalf. I have been dealing with these issues literally since its delivery in April of this year.
Today, October 28, 2019, there are at least three panels already bowing out and the control panel for the hot tub has malfunctioned so I can’t even set the filtration cycle to clean it. To have an item this costly, have this many issues and looking this awful, in our yard, is simply unacceptable. I have had numerous friends and associates inquire about and express interest in a spa pool like ours, however after the experiences to date and the huge number of problems we have had, I could not imagine recommending to anyone that they buy a Master Spa product, Michael Phelps Swim Spa, or anything else, from Aqua Spas.At this point I feel VERY strongly that the only thing of interest to Aqua Spas was making the sale, and nothing else.
Nothing this company has done since has led me to believe that keeping a happy, satisfied customer, who will speak well of your company, continue doing business with you, and recommend your products and services to friends and associates, is anywhere among their priorities. I’d like to be persuaded that I am wrong. At this point, however, mere words will do nothing to accomplish this, only actions. I sent all of the above in an email to the customer service department of Aqua Spas and Master Spas over two weeks ago and received nothing in response, which only further solidifies my low opinion of both. At this point I am so completely fed up that I just want the swim spa removed from my yard and my money refunded. TLDR: If you want anxiety, a whole lot of headaches and zero communication from anyone in the organization, by all means, give these people your money.
Hi Kodi. Thanks for reaching out, we're sorry to hear that you've been unhappy with your experiences so far. I talked to our corporate Customer Service Supervisor about this situation and he did inform me that he has talked to Aqua Spas and that they have been working to resolve these issues for you.

We got the TS 8.0 as our first hot tub and it's very good. Other than the standard features, it has the circulating pump and the lighting that we bought extra.

We bought a spa at a hot tub show. We went to the vendor Paradise Spas in Cedar Park, Texas and changed our order to order a spa. About a week later then received a call from the delivery company that our spa would be delivered immediately from one in stock. It's delivered and is a disaster.

We went to a spa show in Salt Lake and purchased an Enterprise spa. Was told we did not need all the chemicals - what a lie. The filter that we were shown is not what came with the spa. The spa was to be delivered the following week and that we needed to wait until delivery to have the electrical run. No delivery that first week so we rescheduled the electrical. Midweek of the following week we got a call wanting to deliver the first of the next week. Reschedule electrical again. Next week went by with no contact. Numerous calls made to find out what happened with no response from Master Spa. Finally the saleswoman called me back as she had provided her phone number at the time of sale.
The delivery man finally contacted me wanting to know where we were located. I told him and his response - "I thought I did all the deliveries in your area. Your paperwork must have gotten attached to someone else’s." Would he not wonder why he still had the tub? He finally dropped off the tub the next week. We now had to wait another week and a half for the electrical. Finally after many weeks I put water in for the first time. Went out an hour later and noticed water pouring out of the tub. Took pictures of the water level and turned off the water. Went back out exactly one hour later and the water level was half what it was. Spent all day leaving messages for customer service with no response.
Finally got a hold of a live person who answers all incoming calls. He wanted to transfer me again to service which I refused and asked to speak to the president. This gentleman finally listened to my complaints and provided me his number so I could send the photos and video I had taken of the issue. Waited another week to hear from a service person who came out and discovered a huge slice in one of the hoses that occurred during the manufacture of the spa as he had to cut away the insulating foam to find the issue. He spliced the hose and scheduled an appointment to come back one week later to install the foam. The day he was to come out he called to reschedule to the following week. Does time mean nothing to this company?
My husband and finally called and spoke with someone from the company who told him to have the repair man replace the entire hose before installing the insulation. I sent the message to the repairman but he stated that he did replace the hose. He did not. He simply cut out the bad piece and spliced it. We bought and were charged for a new tub but what we received was a damaged tub and no one wants to make it right. Take my advice and stay away from Master Spas.

Well, we bought the spa. They installed it and left. No instructions, no waiting to have the water tanker fill it up and test it. Just dropped it off and left. It hasn't been a year since we installed it and the spa is falling apart. The screws and metal parts RUST? How is it that they put metal parts that rust in a Swimming Spa? When I told my distributor, Aqua Spas, they said they'd look into it. I received an email from them forwarding an email from Master Spas saying to just clean it up. "Grab a towel with fresh water and clean the rust off". The rust is not going away.
Then, the stickers at the bottom of the spa that help a swimmer stay on center, popped off. When I told them about that they said... "Oh, the water has too much Chlorine"... problem is, NO IT DOESN'T. At least not by the measure of the testing strips they have us use. I've had to replace two diverters already because when you turn on the jets, their quality is so bad, they break, shooting them up many feet in the air. If someone would have been close to the explosion, we would be suing for sure. When I brought up my complaints all I got was "clean it with a rag, there's nothing else we can do for you". Not even a year old. So, there it is. If you buy something from them and have this same experience, don't say you weren't warned.
Hi Carlos. We’re sorry to hear that you’ve been unhappy with your experience so far. While we understand your frustration, we also know that two of your complaints (rusting components & the deteriorating sticker) are typically only seen when there is some sort of chemical imbalance or chemical abuse which is why we advised you to check your chemical balance upon hearing the issues with your swim spa. We would also advise referring to page 30 of your owner’s manual for the proper care techniques and maintenance procedures for the stainless steel components in your swim spa. As for the faulty diverters, our supplier for those parts issued a recall on them and as soon as we were notified we offered free replacements to our customers that were affected. Our customer care team will be reaching out to your dealer soon so they can follow-up on these issues with you. We’ll also be sending you a replacement floor sticker. Should you need further assistance please reach out to your dealer, Aqua Spas, or call our corporate Customer Care team at (800) 860-7727.

I purchased a Legacy hot tub at one of those events in the Denver Area. My thought was that I would not have to worry about this product for years to come. 2 years later, it died. In addition, unknowing to me, a friend of mine also purchased one because he heard that I had purchased one. One year later his dies.

I bought a Master Spas pool, as a floor unit. The dealer did not disclose it was a junk old swim pool and I paid $30.000. I was told the gym equipment came with the swim pool and it was new. Less than a month, the equipment failed, since it was defective. Master Spas became very defensive and denied any wrongdoing, not willing to reimburse me for the defective equipment and not responsible for their only dealer in Calgary, continuously stating that's between myself and the dealer. Do yourself a favour and never buy their product to avoid being scammed by their dealers, and ruin your saving on defective products they sell without accountability if they don't work.

Our Master Spas Challenger 15D was purchased at a spa pool and BBQ show at the Pomona fairgrounds on July 14, 2019. We were concerned about an out of town entity providing service in the event of a warranty issue, and were reassured by salesman Tim ** that there were plenty of available service people in southern California and that any problems that came up would be taken care of, that Master Spas was a reputable company, etc., etc. They also said Master Spas representatives would be onsite during the delivery to make sure that everything went ok.
Our spa was delivered on September 18. Master Spas organized the crane for us to put it in the backyard, and that went fine. Two men were there from Master Spas, but all they did was make sure the spa was in the right place on the slab and assemble the plastic staircase that provides entry to the spa. Then they were gone and we were on our own.
The swim spa never worked. It turned on, but before we could use it, 2 of the 3 pumps didn't work, the swims spa function doesn't work and none of the spa functions, jets and bubbles worked. It has been a month, and one repair person has looked at it. His thought was that the computer needs to be replaced, but the bottom line is that we have had an expensive swimspa for over a month, and no one seems to have any urgency about fixing it. The people we purchased it from told us in so many words that it wasn't their problem, and the factory customer service rep is very pleasant, but so far, nothing is happening. It appears they contract repairs with independent spa repairmen who aren't terribly interested. I will amend this review as the events unfold.

We needed a new jacuzzi, and saw Master Spa ad on TV advertising a manufacturer's event at Long Beach Convention Center. We arrived on Saturday night, were met by Austin, and he showed us the 110v models. The major selling point was the new filter system, requiring no chemicals, and only a rinse every other month, and a easy filter changes. Austin was helpful, answered all our questions, and had the paperwork done promptly. We were in and out of there in less than an hour. Our experience with Master Spas was pleasant, courteous, quick and to the point. Plus the spa is US made in Fort Wayne Indiana. Looking forward to our spa delivery.

Terrible sales tactics and no returns. Went to a blow out event in Ancaster Ontario Canada and spoke with a sales rep (from Master Spas) not a local dealer who we have since found out either had no idea what he was talking about or intentionally lied. Told us.. 10 year warranty on shell and 2 years all parts labour. Found out later it's 5 and 1 year. Only need to change water 1 time a year. Found out it's 2 times a year at minimum. No chemicals needed and no smell due to "patent pending" filter. Found out needs all the regular chemicals any other tub does and does have the strong smell, also cannot switch it to bromine for no smell as their filter is not compatible with it.
Did not tell us it does not provide heat when in high speed with jets on. So it cools down about 10 degrees an hour and it's not even winter yet. Built pad to size in flyer yet when tub came it is smaller than what's listed so now I have an odd sized pad. No support for pad requirements. (Speak to a landscaper) was their answer. Was not told there was a setup fee for financing. So charged me $100 I was unaware of. Told by company (master spa) it would heat on high if converted to 220 then told by different rep it won't. Sent an email to master spas and they were not supportive at all. Answered a few things but no reply to my concerns. Horrible sales tactics. No returns. No satisfaction guarantee. Useless customer service department. No support from local retailer. Basically have a paper weight in my backyard.

We went to an expo at the NRG Stadium a couple of years prior to buying from Master Spas and we were in the process of buying a hot tub but some medical issues came up and we had to divert the money somewhere else. The company that we bought from didn’t wanna refund us our money so we wrote it off as a loss and a lesson learned. The same company was down here in our hometown and my wife went up and talked to the Master Spa rep that was there. He looked it up and saw that the money was still on the books. So, he applied that to the price that we had already been quoted. They gave us credit for it and we went ahead and purchased our Master Spa. It worked out great. I love the cost against its quality and I am enjoying the hot tub quite well. I have a bad back and I love the health benefit I get from it as well as the ease of use.

Master Spas came out to the Forth Worth Convention Center and they put on an expo. We went out to the expo and Maurice was there. He is quite a salesman and convinced us that the Master Spas was probably equal to or better than most other spas out here. And I agreed. The construction, the ability to choose what you want, and the price all work into the equation. We got a six-person spa and it has the lounger and the waterfall. It’s absolutely gorgeous. We chose the interior color, the exterior color and the siding colors. We chose the lights that we wanted on the spa and the cupholders. We had hoped to get the Elite but we didn’t have the money. We paid cash for it so we were only gonna buy what we could pay cash for.
They came out and did this onsite preview saying I gotta have an electrician come out and put in $1,075 worth of wiring so they could get the spa to where I wanted it on the patio. They said they were gonna put down some kind of a pad, but instead they built a foundation for it out of 1x4s. And it’s perfectly fine. They said the EZ Pad is not gonna be very effective for where I needed it to go. The installation went really smoothly. The electrical charges are a little bit higher than what I was anticipating, but not much. We got the one that has the aerator that keeps your chemicals that you have to put into the water less. That makes the electric bill a little bit more where it turns on a little more often than some of the others.
I’ve already recommended Master Spas and friends have already purchased a Master Spas based on my experience. When we were gonna purchase the spa, we had spoken with Maurice about one of those lift kits that go on the spa. He said, “I’ll just throw it in there with it.” I failed to read over the contract and I failed to see that it was not included. Since it was not included, the delivery people did not bring it out. They said for an extra $300, they could bring it out. I told them that was not what I agreed to. I called the owner of Master Spas and he said, “Well, if Maurice said that we’re gonna include it, then we’re gonna include it.” He had the guys that installed the hot tub come back out and add a lift kit. So, even though I failed to look and observe that the contract wasn’t as complete as what we originally thought we were purchasing, he honored our verbal contract. There are a lot of people that would not do that.
Master Spas is top-of-the-line. When people are being negative on saying, “Hey, they don’t get out there, they don’t deliver on time, they don’t do this, they don’t do that,” our spa was delivered exactly when we were promised that it would be delivered. They weren’t late. So, all these people that are giving all these negative reviews, they’re not being fair to Master Spas one bit.

Master Spas happened to have a sale over at one of the ball parks. I stopped, checked it out, and I liked what they had. I also liked some of the features of their big hot tub. It has the different removable jets and the price was fair. I ended up buying that and they had a really good salesman. He was out of Wisconsin and he worked directly for Master Spas.

We had an 8 foot x 8 foot Master Spas that started leaking, and it was gonna cost too much to repair it. Instead, we went to a spa show and the reps were great. We saw a triangular spa that had LED lighting, which our old one didn’t have. It also took up less space, but it was a little pricey. It was 2,000 less than our 8x8 when we bought that one in a spa show. Still, we made a down payment and Master Spas held it and told us that we couldn’t get our money back. We had to either finish paying the hot tub off or lose the money. We put it on layaway and it took us two years to get a whole new spa. Now, the spa is in a little corner of my patio. It's very nice and you can fit two or three people in it. It’s just my wife and I. I like the control pad on it too. All in all, we like the spa.

We had a friend of ours that had a Master Spas previously. They have another brand now, but she said she wished she would’ve brought their other one with Master Spas. We got the Precision7 from Master Spas. It was the size that we were looking for. It has the radio and the Bluetooth feature on it. The sales team was good overall. When I asked about filling the tub with well water or if we should use our soft water, they said the well water would be fine. But I wish we would’ve used the soft water because we did have some problems after filling it initially. But I applaud the filtering system that they have because it did end up filtering out quite a bit of it, and we haven’t had any problem since. I’m pretty happy about the cost, and we like the quality of the tub. It cleans the water itself fine, but if there’s sediment in it, it doesn’t completely get that out. So, that’s what we’re gonna end up having to drain and vacuum it out.

Master Spas had an event at the fairgrounds by us and we went there. It was a scratch and dent sale and we really liked their Healthy Living hot tub, so we purchased it. The sales team did very well and so did the delivery team. We bought it on Saturday afternoon and they delivered it on Sunday morning. They also took our old one away, which was a big deal for us. But when they shipped the tub over to the house, they put the strap across one of the knobs that you turn and it cracked it. It wasn't a big deal though. I just called up then they sent it right to me and I installed it.
The tub has two loungers and we ended up getting a good deal on it. They offered $500 off right off the top then it was marked down because it had a blemish on it, which didn't matter to us. We've already owned a tub before, so it wasn't anything to us. But this one is better built than the one we had before. I also like the fact that Master Spas use composite instead of real wood on the outside. To me, it's concealed in better.
Other than that, I installed the tub myself and it was easy to install. I already have the electric and everything ran because the old tub was there, so during the installation of the new one, it took me about half an hour to re-run the electric. Then, we filled it and ran it. I also temporarily fixed the leaking thing and we used it. So far, my wife is happy with it and we like it a lot. It's a really good unit. I like the way it's built and the accessibility of everything. It's everything they said it was. I like the fact they're out of Fort Wayne, too. That makes it a lot easier for us.

Updated on 08/13/2019: To date Master Spas has not responded with a solution directly. They have however responded, apparently, to the rep in Houston, TX with the following: "It has run out of warranty. It is past the 2 year warranty that we provide for the cover. Whenever we replace something it does not reset the warranty of that product. The product continues to carry the warranty of the original product. If the customer purchases a new cover, they would also be purchasing a new warranty with it."
Hello Master Spas. I GET THAT. But you apparently did not read my review and you don't get that the cover you sent to replace the warranty cover, is defective. After one year it is tearing and this should not be happening with a "new" cover. What I was given as a replacement is garbage. The lack of response is garbage. To not respond on this website is garbage and again Master Spas has hit an all time low in customer service. You should at least acknowledge that your product used for replacement is defective. Unbelievable! Buyer beware!
Original Review: Purchased H2X spa in 7/10/2016 for therapy with severe back issues. Within two years the cover started ripping in spite of taking care not to use the handles solely for lifting, along with babying it and having a sail shade cover. Luckily we were able to just get in on the warranty last year, 2018. Now 8/5/2019 the "new" cover, just over one year old has a 4" opening on the INSIDE, where we don't even touch it. It is along the seam and it is plain that this rippage is due to it simply not being sewn properly. Now, we have contacted our rep in Spring, TX, who did contact Master spas, but Master Spas will no longer cover as we are out of the two year warranty period.
All I can say is buyer beware with Master Spas. We've had to have numerous repairs on our H2X not to mention the incredible fiasco we went through at delivery. The warranty is good, but only good if proper parts and equipment are used upon repair. Covers are over $1k for this spa and for Master Spas to not handle this issue is a very sad shame. Also, at this writing, the second ozone lite is malfunctioning....the first was replaced last year. Once again we're out of warranty for repair and the repair cost is $566.54 for labor and materials. WOW! And did I mention that a pump had to be replaced a few weeks ago due to leakage....that's the second motor replacement.

We had the companies narrowed down between Master Spas and ThermoSpas but we had an awful experience with the salesperson from ThermoSpas, which sent us over the edge. It was a very negative experience and that turned us off a bit. When we went to the Master Spas dealership to talk to them, they were very helpful in answering our questions and showed us some of the products they had there in store, and that sold us.
Twilight 7.2 fit what we were looking for in terms of seating arrangement and jets. It was a display model at the dealership from which we bought it, so we didn't have to pay any extra shipping. We just looked at it and said that was the one we wanted. We’ve had it for about three and a half months and we’re in it probably every day. I went to the dealership today and bought some additional chemicals to maintain it, so we're thoroughly enjoying it. The product is great. We're thoroughly pleased with what we purchased and we would not do anything differently if we had to do it over again.

We went to a tent sale and the reps tried to run my credit to see if I could afford a hot tub. That was when we decided to buy one. I love my seven-person hot tub and it works great. I chose the biggest one I could afford from Master Spas. It’s got two jets and three water features. However, after the second time we used the hot tub, we ended up with jets in the bottom. There’s a slip-lock mechanism and it broke but the Aqua Spa guy sent me a whole bunch of them. He said that at the shop, they get over-torqued and so, when you turn on your hot tub or lean against it, it cracks them. I just changed that thing out and my jets went up.
At first, Aqua Spa wasn’t great till I got a hold of the guy I needed, and they’ve been awesome. The hot tub wasn’t cheap but I like it and I hope it lasts for a long time. It has been very hot outside and my kids love it. My son has had a few hot tub parties and friends over. I’ve only gotten in it three times, but it has been very nice and relaxing. It’s gonna come in handy this winter.

We picked Master Spas as a manufacturer because we got a sense that all the parts were American-made and they were reputable components in the building of it. Secondly, we found out about it and I started calling some of the people. The lady and I got involved with one of their dealers in Minnesota and they told me that they had a show in San Diego. They're headquartered in Minnesota and we're in Southern California. My wife and I were in the process of considering the best spa solution and we went to the show, looked at the various models and decided that, based upon the size of our family and how we usually entertain, the one in the showroom was the most attractive.
One of the features that attracted us to the Twilight 76.5 was not only its size but that it didn’t have a bench. A lot of these have these lounge chair benches and that was a waste of space. We don’t usually lounge. We sit upright. The lounge just reduces the capacity. So rather than buy a six-person capacity with a lounge, we were better off with a five-person capacity with no lounge.
I'm still floundering around with when to clean it. But they also steered me to a guy to do an annual maintenance thing. He came out once and then that was it. He doesn’t return my calls anymore. This guy comes from a long way though. It's an all-day drive for him to get here and that’s probably why. So the local support is not very good. That would probably be the only deficiency. But the quality of the product itself is good and I would recommend it to somebody.

I haven't had the swim spa long enough to rate it but just want to express my frustration and dissatisfaction with all the staff I've dealt with from sales to service. First of all I was told that the cost to deliver the spa was included. When the moving guy called he said it wasn't. I called the salesman who sold me the unit and said that it wasn't. When the delivery guy showed he didn't have the equipment to pull in and drop the spa down so he rolled it in on PVC pipes which scratched up bottom of the unit. I called Master Spas and they said I would have to take that up with the mover, that they were independent. When we finally set it up and got it going there were some parts that were broken on the unit.
When I called to get them replaced I got the same shotty attitude like it was my fault and it's been a week since I emailed a photo of the items broken. In addition, as of today I still haven't received my steps so I called them and was told they were not included because the salesperson didn't mark it. Again, I called the same salesman and he said, "oh I figured you were building a deck or something and didn't need it." I said, "No, but even if I did you told me they were included." So I should be getting those next week. I can go on about the terrible attitudes but will do no good. Just make sure if you buy one that everything is written on the contract. Don't take their word for it! I videotaped the move but unfortunately this doesn't allow video upload.

My Master Spas is great. It does more than we thought it would do. It has five pumps, it seats seven to eight people and it has a lot of jets. It’s a lot more than normal. There’s a waterfall feature, and there’s lighting and you can change the lighting. It’s got lighting on the outside as well. And also, our tub has a cartridge that slides into the filter which has copper and zinc in it. Instead of having to use so much chlorine, it naturally kills bacteria. We use the tub two to three nights a week now in the summer, but in the winter or in the cooler months, we use it more. It has a whirlpool effect in one of the seats, and I have a back issue where I've had a broken back and it’s really nice to get in and relax around that. It eases my back muscles.
I decided to work with Master Spas mainly because of the salesperson that we dealt with. She was knowledgeable and amazing to work with. We spent about double what we had planned to spend. We liked the fact that it had so many jets. Their reputation seemed good, too. They’re one of the oldest spa makers in the country and I think one of the original spa makers.

Hi David. Thanks for reaching out about this situation. Upon receiving this review, I reached out to your dealer to find out what was going on. It seems like the main issue here is miscommunication.
Kevin mentioned that after the purchase of your spa he spoke to you at length on the phone about access to your backyard and other site preparation details. Kevin then did some research on crane companies that could help install your spa and found one that would work, but he couldn't get in contact with you after that. Shortly after this is when you sent the cancellation notice.
Kevin then later got a notice from Greensky that they were trying to charge back the money that you approved to purchase the spa. After a lot of back and forth, your dealer and Greensky agreed that your dealer would refund you $3,519 and you would be responsible for the rest since you had already signed the purchase agreement stating that there would be no refunds.
Kevin says that they have no record of you asking for your spa to be delivered after the cancellation, however he did say that he would happily make arrangement for the spa to be delivered as long as you agree to pay back or re-finance the amount that your dealer refunded.
We're very sorry to hear that you felt as if this was a "scam", but it seems like the main issue here is miscommunication. If you do still want the spa that you originally purchased, please call Kevin and he'd be happy to set up delivery for you. Thanks for your feedback.

I wish I could be one of the satisfied customers writing this review. We purchased our TS 7.2 from our salesmen Paul, who was excellent, at a Master Spa Hot Tub Expo in April 2019 and paid in full on our credit card. After 7 weeks, we reached out to Master Spa as we had not heard anything regarding the delivery. After several emails and a phone message, it was determined that delivery of our new spa by their sub-contractor would not happen until 10 1/2 weeks after purchase. The signed contract clearly states that delivery will take place in 4 to 8 weeks with a target date of 6 weeks. We have received no apologies, no explanation and no credit for the delay, not even an offer of an extra filter.
I must say that this poor experience with Master Spa has really taken the excitement out of one of the most anticipated purchases of our lives. I don’t think a little communication from Master Spa over such an expensive item is asking a lot. I see others have complained of similar issues on this site, so please don’t be surprised when it happens to you. Good Luck!

I liked how Master Spas' hot tub had plenty of jets and that it had lighting. I also liked the size of it and the fact that it holds eight people. They also had a big sale and we liked the price. Their sales team was also very accommodating at the time. However, their provider in Maryland was Hot Tubs Inc and we had a very poor interaction with them from an installation perspective. During the installation, the team was very anxious to just drop the hot tub and move along when we thought we had covered everything. We also interacted poorly with them when ordering chemicals. Despite our calls and the times when we asked for their managers, they've done things like charging us for products before they even ship it. Though Master Spas' team answered all our questions, things went downhill as Hot Tubs Inc's service has been poor and substandard. I would discourage friends from dealing with Hot Tubs Inc.

Master Spas came in and made good on a spa that a dealer took the money and ran. They're incredible and I can’t say enough good things about them. I would recommend them. But the dealer was horrid and I had the worst experience with him. I think Master Spas even shut him down. He was recommended by another friend that had good luck with him and his location was great for us, so we decided to buy from him. We got the Clarity 7 and ordered it on October. It was supposed to be delivered before Christmas but I finally got it in June and Master Spas' main factory delivered it, not them.
There were so many phone calls and so many lies from the dealer. I didn't get any help there but at least I got phone calls back when they were still open. Then when they were closing the location, my husband went up there and talked to some man. He gave us the lady's number at Master Spas and told us that they'd be the ones delivering our order. So we called that number and much to my surprise, it really did happen. My kids love the spa and I’m happy with it. Master Spas has been so good. I even called them again just to get some lessons on how to actually work the thing. Other than that, I never got the manual from the dealer.

I'm recommending the Master Spas product. It’s an amazing product as spas goes. I purchased the Twilight. I saw all of their products in display on the floor and recognized that that was the best package for my location and my usage. And for the purchase, the sales reps were attentive and they were able to negotiate with me to a sale. So, it was good. Also, I had a couple of warranty claims that I needed help with that Master Spas took care of for me. I had some challenges getting to their dealer after the purchase. When I had a couple issues, they didn’t return my phone call when I called their number, but once I got a hold of them, they were excellent.
The installation was easy for the installers. Those guys were professionals. They just wheeled it in on a cart, set it up, and told me a few hints, told me to give them a call at the store if I had any questions, and then from there, we had to get the electricity to it. It’s always nice to sit around with a glass of wine in the spa and relax after a crazy day. And it’s got some great features to it, it makes it a really invigorating soak, and it’s a great place for conversation with my wife. And so, we love it.

We looked at a few hot tub companies and Master Spas seemed to offer a little bit more than what the competition offered for the price. They had better built too. We like the quality of their HL 7. I like the jets and the seating arrangement. I like the captain seats that are in it as they are nice and comfortable. So far, the hot tub has been good. It feels sturdy, has good quality and construction. It seems to be doing everything it has to do. It is also of a fair price for the quality - maybe a little higher with the completion but the quality seems to be a little bit better too. That was what made us go for it. I’ve recommended it to a bunch of friends.

I purchased a Master Spa Legacy Inspire Spa for $6000 at Pomona Fairgrounds show on 10/8/2017. In a year and a half I have used the spa approx 10 times. There is a problem with the heater (might be important in a spa) and contacted customer service (in this case an oxymoron). They informed me the warranty was up and it is now my problem. I am very sorry I purchased this brand and I would advise anyone else to avoid this company. Wish I could give it a negative 5 star.

We put a down payment on a spa. After doing so, several medical events put us in a financial bind. While the contract says the down payment is nonrefundable, we hoped to find a company that cared about and was willing to work with its customers. Nope. Not here. Sometimes life happens and a company that isn't willing to acknowledge that and help out is not a company we want to do business with. They will resell the hot tub PLUS keep our deposit, making a ton of money - while we sit buried in medical bills. Thanks Master Spa for the personal touch. We are nothing more than a sales figure to you. From someone who owns a business, let us advise you that doing business this way is no way to stay in business. Word gets around eventually and people catch on and go elsewhere. And we hope they do.
Hi Deb. Thanks for reaching out about this. I first want to make it clear that we are only the manufacturer of the hot tubs, we are not the company that you made your purchase through. Because of this, we have no control over deposit refunds.
We did reach out to your dealer about this situation though, and they said that at one point you had mentioned still wanting to purchase a spa, but at a time when things were easier financially. As stated in the contract you signed, deposits are non-refundable. However, knowing that you might potentially be interested in purchasing in the future, they let you know that your original deposit amount could be used toward any future spa purchase you made through them once the timing was right. The retailer has mentioned that they have left you messages without any response and the owner of the company has more recently emailed you regarding the situation. They'd love to hear from you.

There was a show in our hometown and the gentleman showing the Master Spas tub to us convinced us that it was good. However, we didn't like the company that sold us our Master Spas tub. We ordered our tub January 18th of this year from Primo and they told us it would take four to six weeks. We waited and waited, and then Primo said that our tub would be at our place on April 1st. That day came and that’s when we finally found out what was going on. Master Spas told us that Primo had gone out of business shortly after that show. We couldn't not not take the tub because we would lose all the money we had put down. Still, Master Spas said that they would keep it up and sell the tub to us which was great.
Since the installation, we've been liking our tub a lot. It has jets and a waterfall. My husband, who is a hairstylist stands on his feet all day long. Getting into our tub helps his shoulders and legs a lot. The tub helps mine too. Being in it has been relaxing and it's our time together. I'd recommend Master Spas to anyone.

We went to a closeout sale and I really wasn't gonna buy a hot tub that day. The Master Spas team was very anxious to sell spas and the price went down to where it was kinda hard to say no. The hot tub was supposedly listed for 10 which was a little high. But we got it for six out the door and that included taxes and everything. That was what pushed the deal. We got a hot tub from their Twilight Series. They call it a three-person tub but it probably is more of a two-person for us. The big thing about this particular model versus the other ones they offered was the number of jets. It has like 26 to 30 jets. It has electronic controls, LED lighting in it which is very nice, a little waterfall, and two pumps. It also has two seats that have gobs of jets for shoulder, leg, and foot massaging.
After I got the hot tub and read through the stuff, I called customer service to ask some questions and they were fantastic. So far, the hot tub has been good. But the impact is not as much as I kind of expected it to. I have chronic Lyme disease. We had a hot tub before and when and we got that one, it was an absolute godsend and made a huge difference! But with this new one, I have just been out of the habit of getting in it for so long. It's in the basement and I'm not getting in it every night like I ought to. It's probably two to three times a week at most so it hasn't made as big a difference. But spas, in general, can make a huge difference. My son threatened to quit coming to see us after the other hot tub died. But he is visiting right now and he has been in our new hot tub every night. It's making a big difference for him while he's here. I'd tell others to give Master Spas a good hard look.

We wanted a spa that had the captain's chair and one lounger, and we still wanted one other really good seat. The Twilight Series 7.2 was the best set up for us.
We had looked at Master Spas a year before at the I-X Center in Cleveland and had liked what they said. We looked into a couple of different places almost a year later and everybody says the stuff you want to hear. So then, we were kinda confused. But we did some online stuff mainly about the reliability and repair kind of stuff and we thought that Master Spas was the best decision.

I purchased my spa in August 2017. Since then, the dealer has had to replace the heating element, the control panel and the circulating pump. None of these replacements were caused by operator error.

When I inquired about reimbursement, since this was not an electrical error, the manager told me they do not offer any type of compensation for my loss. I would have been happy with a free bucket of chemicals!
After all of that, my spa has shut down again, This is being written in April 2019. I will, once again, be contacting the dealer in the morning.

We’ve also got a generator and the steps of the wiring is a little more complex than it would be if it were just a normal hookup.

This may be a good product if you manage construction projects for a living or are handy and physically able to do a lot of work yourself. I’m a disabled vet so needed something like this to help rehab, exercise and reduce stress. I also work full time, so managing multiple contractors to get this done was also problematic. Here’s my story...
I spent hours, more like days and weeks, researching and trying to find the right equipment to meet my needs. Even tested what I bought at the factory hours away to determine if it was right. This was useful so I’ll give an attaboy to Master Spas for this opportunity. Once I selected and paid my down payment (for what I thought was going to be a “new” Michael Phelps momentum deep swim spa), I had to start managing different contractors, getting quotes, and prepping the site. The first thing was installing the concrete pad. If this is not something you already have, be prepared to shell out a few thousand on top of what you pay for the spa. Just know ahead of time: if you don’t have the right pad, and the tub warps, the warranty is null and void.
Then I had to arrange for electric, who could only do half the job because the spa had not arrived yet. Plus, electricians don’t necessarily know what they are doing with swim spas; so select wisely who does the work. It took hours for my electrician to figure out the diagrams they gave us... Maybe that’s not Master Spas fault... Maybe, just maybe there is a better way to communicate what needs to be done. Electrician said it had already been wired up partially, so we were well on our way (why was half the work already done? Oh yeah, floor model, not new as expected). Electric hookup will also be a few thousand more depending on what your needs are.
Then I had to remove a fence (which being disabled, was not easy...but it happened, mostly with the help of my awesome family). Once the spa was delivered, ripping through my yard and my neighbor’s, not bothering to fix anything, they dropped it and left. I was on my own... Looking at the folder they gave me that said “floor model”... Wait, what? I paid how much for something they have been using on the floor? I have no idea who or what has been swimming around in my spa before me. Great, guess that’s what the chlorine is for.
Also note, if you have this delivered in winter, it may be “winterized,” which means there will be pink anti-freeze in it. The guys dropping it off said this will be no problem; just fill it up and the filters will take out the anti-freeze... Mmmm. Ok, fine... I was told to take the panels off to get the operator’s manual... Really? They put the manual inside the panels of the spa?! The screws were rusty (just how long was this spa a floor model?) and after a bunch of drilling and some choice words, I get the panels off to find the manual and some other gadgets, which I have no idea the purpose of, nor can I find any reference to in any manuals. (Hope there is a YouTube video to tell me what to do).
So according to the incredibly hard to understand and cryptic operator’s manual, I determine that I need to fill the spa before the electricians finish the job so we can test it to make sure everything works. I do, and then they come back so I can give them another grand $... Awesome! We “test it”... Nobody really knows how anything works so we push random buttons, I see whirring and bubbles so we declare “good to go, baby.”
Now the chemicals... Assuming I get the levels right and don’t poison myself - my guess is this will be all worth it... Time will tell. So what is the lesson here? Understand that the company is going to sell you this tub and drop it in your yard. Every other detail, (concrete, electric, prepping the site for delivery, fixing the site after delivery, setting up the spa with water and chemicals, bleeding the lines for air should that be a problem) is on you. If you’re up for it and physically able, or have the time to hire and manage contractors, then go for it; but don’t expect a whole lot of help from the company you just shelled out your hard earned money to.

The two guys weren't strong enough to push 1485lbs up the front of my house to the back yard. Construction workers across the street helped get the spa to side opening and left. Rod and Mike pushed the spa on a dolly with low tires and then let the spa backside drop against my brand new house sliding it leaving a scratch mark down the side of my house and stucco window frames.
There was 6" on both sides of the spa but the two weren't strong enough to push and move the tub. I asked why they didn't have more people and they said, "Ma'am this is all you got." I am inserting pictures. I have left messages with Kevin in MN but no return calls. Rodney claims I said I accept damages. I did to the hot tub, NOT my brand new house. Who would say that with a brand new house? Kevin, to this day has NEVER returned my calls. No one has called to answer my questions or even apologize for what happened. I haven't even had a chance to enjoy my hot tub yet. I hope it's not damaged from being dropped. I asked Rodney and he told me the pumps were bolted in and I was told I have a 5 year warranty.

It would be nice if Master Spas had an all-in package going forward, saying like, “Here’s your spa, here’s the cover for it. Here’s all the other stuff you need for it too.” Instead of like, “Here’s the price.” And then, all of a sudden, you start adding on to it. But I like the spa. I got a good value for it.

We enjoyed Master Spas' design and the quality of the product. We purchased a small, three-person spa at a local retailer. The manufacture of the unit is very good, fit and finish. The control panel is nice. Also the, cost is reasonable. The unit is on the low-end of the value scale but well-worth it. Master Spas is doing a great job. They should keep up what they are doing.
Thank you, John! We're happy to hear that you're enjoying your hot tub! Thanks for the feedback.

We liked the Clarity Spa's appearance, size and the number of jets. We were impressed that it had either two or three motors. We looked around at a sale event and then we talked to the Master Spas sales person, made our decision and he did the paperwork. The lady who scheduled the delivery was really helpful because we had the person come out to check the specs, and then we had a lot of work to do and it took us a year on our part to do it. The tub is of good quality. We use the hot tub four days a week.

At the time we bought it I thought that Master Spas was the most economical solution to what we were trying to achieve. But then I’m a maintenance sort of guy, and I’m disappointed with the design of the hot tub from a maintenance point of view. Where we live, it gets very cold in the winter and we have to drain our hot tub. So twice a year, I have to take the cover off, put it back on and I have to get access to the pump drain and the tub drain to drain the tub.
With my old tub, all I did was unhook one pipe and the tub would drain. And the drain for the pump was right there, easily accessible. On this hot tub, I don’t know if I even drained it properly this winter. I’m waiting till the spring. The drain plugs are in the back of the pump. You can’t get your hand in to undo the drain plugs. So the ones that I did get undone. It was a struggle. The other one, I just couldn’t get. This coming spring when we go to turn it on, I may have a frozen pump that I have to deal with. I’m also disappointed that I’m sitting all winter wondering whether I’m gonna have a major issue with my tub next year.
The face cover of my old tub came off easily. This one, the cover on the side of the tub wouldn’t go back on. There were no screws. You have to bend it or something like that to get it to sit onto the hot tub. I don’t have the room to do that. My old tub also has a cedar siding. I undid two screws and it lifted off. It was set into my deck. So, the only way I can get it off is lift it straight up. Master Spas just have guides down the side that you have to bend to slide it in. It just doesn’t work. It's a very poor design. For a couple of bucks, they could’ve put levers on that space panel that would’ve allowed me to undo it, pull it off, and no issue at all. So I was forced to cut the edge of the front panel off to try to get it to slide in. That also didn’t even work because the channels are so tight against it.
So the next thing I’ve done is cut the channels back so that I can lay it flat against the hot tub. But it’s not secured. So from that perspective I’m extremely disappointed. They are building these things everyday and sending them all over North America and Canada. And if it’s going to Canada, you gotta be able to drain it easily, comfortably in five minutes, not spend an hour fighting with hoses and tubes. When I was setting it up, I was also disappointed and the dealer didn’t send anybody out to do it for me. They just brought it out, dropped it on the pad and left. It was up to me or my electrician to do it.
I sent an email to the dealer and asked them to pass it on the hot tub people. Nobody has ever come back to me.I may be fighting with my dealer in the spring over this. But as far as sitting in it in the summertime, it’s lovely and very nice. But if my next-door neighbor was looking for hot tub, I would say to check on the installation and the maintenance. And I wouldn’t recommend Master Spas to anybody in our situation.

We're very pleased with Master Spas. We got a Twilight and it's a very nice hot tub. We went to the showroom and looked at the tubs, and it was the one we liked. We were also looking for a very small spa. We had a very small place to put it. And the Twilight is kind of a triangle-shaped spa and it suited our needs. It's got the LED lights, the waterfall and the big foot blaster. We've also like the bio filter. It's got the zinc in the filter and it's very easy to maintain. Our Twilight got a really beautiful shell. And it's a really nice-looking spa in addition to the features and the jets. We had a challenging experience getting it up on a deck. It took two hours. But the installers walked us through all of the functions, the keypad and how to operate. It's simple and intuitive, though.
We couldn't be happier with our new hot tub. After we bought it, we did a lot of research and then started seeing all the reviews. We walked in to look at a spa, and we walked out with this thing. It was sight unseen because they didn't have the actual spa at the location they're at. So, the next day, we drove down to their other location and physically saw it, and we've been very pleased with it. All the reviews for Master Spas have been positive. And the one review that was bad is more about the dealer than the actual spa. We watched videos of the factory tours, and we're very impressed with what appears to be really high quality. We feel like if we were gonna put some money into one, we wanted one that's gonna last, and we think this is gonna be the one. We felt really good after we bought it. We went into this with a $5,000 budget, and our Twilight was eight. So, it was more than what we wanted to spend. But after having an experience with a spa of lesser quality in the past, my wife and I both knew and looking at this one and the features and the jets, it's an upgraded spa. It feels like it's more of a high-end.
That's great to hear, Peter! We really appreciate your kind feedback - and we're so thrilled to hear that you and your wife are enjoying your spa so much! Happy hot-tubbing!

my husband and I purchased a hot tub from a show. We were told by someone claiming to be the owner of Master Spas how amazing the company was. How customer service was top notch. How they had a local warehouse in Beaverton OR etc. We did some research and didn’t find anything to be untrue. Now a year later spa is in place and a nightmare.
Just a month after owning it we started having problems. Electrical. Filtering. The cabinet. It’s all garbage. If my husband wasn’t handy the thing would be an expensive yard ornament. We have called customer service over and over. No return calls. If and when we talk to someone there’s no one local with the company to help us. We get referred out to other spa companies here. Of course that comes with a high price and horrible customer service. I wish we had never made this purchase and gone with the truly local honest retailer. BUYER BEWARE.

We are happy with it other than the outside where it’s housed, there’s a couple panels and we're still waiting for them to come over and look at them. The panels seemed to be cut short, so in the cold they're shrinking and they popped out. Our hot tub's cost was way too much, but you pay what you get. And it’s been awesome for my arthritis.

This is my first hot tub and that's why I was doing a lot of shopping and research. I had a list of what I wanted and didn’t want, and Master Spas was able to line it all up. When I went into the showroom, I said I want a lot of space, like for a family of four. So right away, they showed me one that was nice and spacious. The person in the showroom knew his product and they had the right product for me. Some of those that I looked at were either just online or if I went into the showroom, they had a couple of models there but not the ones I wanted. I needed to see the one I was buying. The model I got was actually not on the floor. It was out in the back but they were able to show it to me.
The two people I dealt with were great too. There was someone working at the desk and when I went in there during the weekend, she answered some general questions. She asked how urgently I wanted it or whether I kicking tires, and I said no. I was looking to make a purchase within the next week because I had done my research. Then the manager came out, asked me some more questions and showed me the right one. It took about an hour from start to finish.
The delivery from Master Spa was also fast, which was what they promised to do. It was fantastic. The guys dropped the spa and there was no problem. It would’ve been better to know a little bit more about the electrical hook-ups and the startup though. They’re selling the hot tub but it's up to the homeowner to have the electrical and it’s a big part of the installation. They could have even recommended a contractor. So Master Spas could have done a better job with that. But it wasn’t too bad. I was able to get someone over to my house, run the wire ahead of time and get it hooked up.
Now, we pretty much use the hot tub every other day. It's four times a week with, usually, at least two of us in it. I’ve got my wife and two kids. Sometimes, my teenager goes in by himself or with friends. It’s relaxing. Besides the health benefits, it’s good for stress and also just for fun, hanging out and having a couple of drinks. On the weekends especially, it’s good to chill out in there. We’ve had friends and family over already too, especially over Christmas. I’ve also already recommended Master Spas.

There was an exposition in our area and Master Spas had good salesmen there. Compared to other companies, the Master Spas tub are $1,000 or $2,000 lower. Their team was good as well and they delivered when they said they would. Everything was as it was presented to us. However, I had no idea that I couldn't get the parts in Canada. Had I known that, I may have chosen a different person. I'm rather disappointed because the products are expensive enough but then UPS fines me with a giant brokerage fee. The products I ordered was $200 US and I'm paying in Canadian dollars then adding $75 worth of brokerage fees plus GST. What should have been a $200 order became $400 very quickly. It was a complete surprise that I'm paying about 40% more for the products that I ordered than I had anticipated paying.
UPS said there's nothing Master Spas can do but that they have control of the package. Unless, I feel like traveling an hour and a half in the opposite direction to go clear it myself and then go to UPS' warehouse. That was the first time that I've had to order and I would like to continue to order parts from Master Spas, but if I can source them elsewhere then I will because I don't wanna get hit with a $60 brokerage fee plus taxes. Master Spas should really consider choosing a reputable dealer that can allow Canadians purchasing for the parts and services without giving huge money to UPS. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the overall quality of my Clarity Spa. The water is nicer and I like the EcoPur filters too. The spa has great impact in my life.

We were hoping that it would also all work out fine in the future and so it did. I'm very happy with it. First of all, the jets are amazing. We were used to a very old spa where it was basically like sitting in warm soup. Now, we’re sitting in a spa that, if you’re not holding on, will blow you out of it. The jets are incredible. That’s really cool. The second thing is that I like the layout of the spa. We picked the layout but it’s a great spa for us because the layout is perfect for us. Thirdly, I’m amazed with how it keeps itself clean with me actually doing very little to it. I put a little bit of chlorine cups in a floater that floats around the hot tub and I basically do nothing else. It takes care of itself. It’s amazing. It's the best hot tub we’ve ever owned.
We’d love to use the hot tub more. But this is in a second property so we’re only using it once every couple of weeks in the wintertime and probably weekly in the summertime. It's not nearly often enough that we use it. The installation had been simple too. I had the spa delivered and it was installed the same day. There were no problems. I can’t say enough about Master Spas and how they looked after the spa's quality. The service was excellent. I would tell others to do it and make the purchase.

Purchasing from Master Spas was convenient. They had a sale going on at the fair grounds so it made it super-easy to go down there instead of all the way out a little farther to where their actual showroom is. The Master Spas team was very patient ‘cause my husband and I were discussing whether or not we really wanted to spend money since it was very expensive compared to what we had before. We wanted to make sure what we were purchasing was what we really wanted and we were also debating between a number of different units. They were very informative as well. They were really helpful on explaining the differences between the three that we were looking at, and that really helped us determine where we were gonna spend our money.
We used to have a soft tub that had 4 jets, had no seats, and looked like a round circle pool. Our new hot tub is phenomenal compared to that and it's completely different. It is a three-seater and it has a lounge and two seats. It also has 30 jets and is super comfortable to sit in. We use it numerous times a week. I love it ‘cause it’s very therapeutic. After I get home from the gym, it really helps if I'm a little sore. Literally, we find that we’re not spending as much time as well. The jets come on for 15 minutes and when it shuts off, we’re done. I feel like a wet noodle. Whereas with the soft tub, I would spend sometimes a half an hour to 45 minutes in there trying to get loosened up. So, the Master Spas tub has really helped my husband and I.

The price was right with Master Spas and I saw a blurb on Hot Tub University that kind of gave them a good rating. I ended up purchasing their 7.5 Healthy Living hot tub and it was a good deal. It has 48 massaging jets and bucket seats, and so far, I’ve detected a little electrical flare going on. It’s brief and once that odor kind of gets out there, it hangs around for a little bit. I’ve experienced that twice but I’m not sure if that’s an issue with the hot tub. Other than that, their reps would do anything during the sale. But when it came to their aftersales, their team needs to get schooled.
On delivery day, I was supposed to get my hot tub delivered on the 18th but I got no word from them the day before or anything to confirm that they were gonna be delivering it. So I had to call them and they got back with me saying that they were tied up and would bring it later. And they did but they brought it almost at dark-thirty. Then, since I was a new hot tub owner, I called them about my filter that worked for 24 hours straight for about a week. And they just told me to read the manual. But the manual is jacked up and you have to be a programmer to understand it. In the end, I figured it out. Still, I wasn’t too pleased with their aftermarket care.
I used to work for Ford Motor Company and half of our problems was due to dealerships that didn’t deal with the customer properly after they sold them the vehicle. And I would have liked to see Master Spas give me a day's notice and confirm the appointment when they were delivering my hot tub. They should've let me know that it was happening and they should've done some follow-up. They should've also called me back in a couple of days to see how everything was going after they learned that I was a new hot tub owner.

A couple years back, the mall near my house, Ocean County Mall, used to have a hot tub tent sale outside. I looked one year to try and get a rough idea of the pricing and the guy that was there gave me his card. A couple years went by and when there was another sale, I decided to go again. This one happened to be Master Spas and their products looked really nice. Their rep gave me the card and I held onto it. Master Spas looked decent, too, so when I was in the market for it, I looked into them.
Originally, I inquired about the cost because their website didn’t have prices. I emailed them because they had a connect-to-us link then somebody ended up calling me. I liked the HL 7.5 because of the number of people it sat and I told her that I was looking for pricing on that. I also asked if it comes with stairs and a cover. She was very helpful and we were trading emails back and forth. She told me that she happened to have a floor model and they were looking to get rid of it. She also said she could give me x amount off and when I asked her about the color, she said it happened to have a grey exterior with a light grey interior. With that, I thought the heavens have aligned because that was exactly what I was looking for. So, I ended up ordering it and they were really good about it. I paid by credit card and they were able to process the transaction.
I bought the hot tub in May and at the time, I told Master Spas that I wasn't ready for it yet. I was planning on trying to build a deck in my back yard but that crashed and burned. It was a disaster, so I ended up going concrete which I didn’t get done until the end of October. So Master Spas stored the hot tub for me. They would also periodically call asking if I was ready for the hot tub and they were very understanding. When time came, I finally called them and they got their guys out within two weeks because I had to wait for an electrician. So, they were good. And when they came out, they dropped it where I needed them to do it and it was perfect.
They said that the hot tub sits seven but so far, I've had as many as three adults and two children in it. The corners are for an adult, especially if you’re a fuller-sized person, and the seats in between are kind of tiny. But in reality, you really could fit seven in it though it might a little snug. Aside from that, the hot tub has lots of jets, different lights, and a little waterfall effect. It’s supposed to be good for massaging stuff and relaxing. So far, I like the quality of my hot tub. In the beginning, I was trying to master the chemicals but now I finally got it down to a science. On Saturdays, I put all the chemicals that they told me to put in there based on their little simple sheets and test it, then I'd know it's good to go. It's pretty easy. The tub is also very comfortable and very relaxing.

We went to a show and when the Master Spas reps figured out that we were really serious about getting their product, the manager came out and talked to us about it. He showed us some of the features, such as the insulation, that were better about this spa than some other spas that are built. Their team was really good and we were convinced that the Twilight was the best one for us. We liked the way it was built, so that's what we got.
It took my husband, Mark, a while to get the water balance but he did it on his own with the chemicals that we were given. He's been wanting to get one for a long time and he gets in it more than I do because I’m afraid of the cold right now. When it gets a little warmer, I’ll be able to get into it a little bit more. Mark likes the foot jets a lot and we love the lights on the tub. The shoulder jets are nice as well but we had to switch those out because what was on there was a little strong. So we moved the jets around a little bit, so that they don't hit so hard. There are a lot of things about the hot tub and Mark takes care of it.
We love our Master Spas hot tub. It's good looking and we get in it usually at night when we’re both finally done for the day. And I’m sure we’ll have a family member purchasing one before too long. My children built a pool and rather than building a spa into their pool, they built a place on the patio around the pool to put a hot tub.

Our Master Spas hot tub helps with the aches and pains from work. We really enjoy the multiple positions, the lights, and the size of it. We liked Master Spas' number of the jets and the build location. We went to a show up in Madison where they were displaying them, so we could see them in operation. A young man that dealt with us was a straight shooter, and he knew all the answers. Our Master Spas hot tub's quality is worth it as it should be. You pay what you get. They’re not cheap spas, but they’re good for what you pay for. If you could afford it, I’d recommend it.

I needed a tub that's a little bit smaller and for a single person. I saw Master Spas Healthy Living at a hot tub show in Wallingford and it looked beautiful. It was the only tub there at the show and at that time, I liked it and decided to commit to it. I liked the design of the shell as well as the way they explained to me some technology in it. It seemed like it was right for me. It has 2 seats, a lounge, and jets in all the lounge and seats. I had a no-name brand tub that a guy made in his warehouse and while I like that as well, I like my new Master tub a lot more. The quality of the Master tub is excellent too. I’m using it for enjoyment where I have a drink at night and gaze at the stars. I love it. Also, I made a couple of phone calls with the Master Spas staff and everybody was great and answered my questions. So, I am happy with everything.

Master Spas is one of the best in the industry. Their product, the power for the engines and the motors are pretty impressive compared to the other companies. It has magnetic therapy, seats six to eight people, has Wi-Fi included, Bluetooth radio and lights on the outside. This is now my second Master Spas tub and the installation process was seamless. I use the tub every night in the winter time. It provides me relaxation, helps me go to sleep easier and I have less sore muscles. Don't look anywhere else. They're the best.

My wife and I like all of the features that our Master Spas has. Travis, the sales rep at the Denver Civic Center here in downtown, did a great job of explaining the kind of features and benefits of the brand. Master Spas fits everything that we wanted in a tub. My wife wanted a therapeutic jets as well. We had a size restriction on our lower deck and it fits. We wanted one that was 34 inches high instead of 36 or 38, which a lot of them are.
We went through the technical side of the tub. I’m a mechanical engineer, so I understand a lot of that side of it. And Master Spas' technology is so far, so good. It is top of the line, and we were looking for the features that they have. One is the lay down style as well as seats with the therapeutic jets. We wanted the ozonator, too. For all those reasons as we added everything up, it’s the one we like. And ultimately, when we got to pricing, it seemed to be reasonable for what we thought we’d end up paying. Also, the warranty is good. The coverage is very satisfactory. We’ve had our Master Spas for a month and we're in it every other day. And so far, so good.

I was mostly happy with our Legacy Whirlpool Jacuzzi (though our delivery experience was somewhat painful) until it suddenly stopped working in December -- 6 weeks after the warranty expired. Now I find myself shelling out 100s of dollars to get it repaired and probably a new heater. I'm not feeling too good about that. Seems like it was cheaply manufactured. If I were to buy a spa again, I'd spend a little more for something of higher quality and energy efficiency.

We went to a Spa Show and Master Spas' Twilight series was the tub that seemed to fit what we wanted size-wise. I also liked that it has two different lounges in it. Their retailer came out and installed it and they sent very nice guys. Since getting the hot tub, I've been using it about five or six times a week and it has made me feel better. However, I get a lot of foam and I can't seem to get rid of that. Still, the actual making of the tub has held up very long. The finish is very well done and the pump has a tremendous amount of power. It feels really good having such strong pumps there.

Our Twilight Series 7.2 that we got from Master Spas had the features that we wanted and liked and it’s the right size as well. Once I learned all the jets, it’s great. I like the shoulder massager, the back massager, the jets, and the fact that you can adjust the intensity of them. My wife is smaller and she seems to float more when the jets are on high. She would like hand rails on the bottom to hold herself down, but she’s got a weighted pillow that she puts on her now and it helps her. The pricing’s a little on the high side but it’s worth it. The quality is great. I would highly recommend Master Spas and the dealer we got it from. Eversole Pool and Spas in Lima is a locally midwestern manufacturer, and they were absolutely the best.

I wasn't out to buy a tub but when I was talking to the salesman at the barbecue and spa thing that they had here, he explained about the Twilight Series of Master Spas. I ended up buying the 8.2 and so far it's been a really good hot tub. I like that it had the EcoPur where it got the triple filters. The other thing I liked about it is the purifier that was on it. Compared to some of the other hot tubs that I was looking at, I'm gonna have that setup. It kills some of the bacteria that was in the water. I also like the massage jets that are on it. I'm very satisfied with the spa. I get in about three to four times a week.
I've actually had to call and have somebody come out and look on it because the turn valve broke. He got on it and was really good. He found out what the part number was and got that ordered for me. And then, he told me if I had any issues that they can give me a number to the maintenance person that fixes the hot tub here in Salt Lake. I called him and he come out very promptly and fixed my problem. I was really happy with them. When I contacted my salesperson, he just told me that I wasn't the only one that had issues with those and that there was a defect in the material and that they were fixing the replacement parts for them. But other than that it's been really good. I'm really happy with the spa. I would recommend Master Spas.

The one we got from Master Spas is a great spa. It’s like a 7x7, 350 gallons-ish and it can fit five people. The place we went to go look at the spas had a couple different versions and this one looked like it was really laid out well. It’s comfortable because the jets are thought-out so the jets actually hit you where you sit. My wife and I sat down in it and I thought it actually made sense. We had a spa before this but we never used it because A, it was a pain to maintain and B, when you sit in it, okay, you have hot water and there’s water moving around but the jets weren’t really good. These jets on the Master Spas one hit you really nicely and they’re adjustable enough that you can actually feel like you get some relief from them. Aside from the three different jets on it, it has color-changing LEDs too.
In retrospect, I guess we made a good decision because it’s the same size as my old hot tub but it has less gallons of water. The difference is that the interior of this hot tub is a little bit smaller but there’s so much more insulation. It maintains temperature really well. This thing is also so quiet that I can actually hear my outdoor radio playing instead of having a radio in the hot tub. With the old thing, you’d have to crank the radio up in the hot tub just so you can feel the music, instead of experiencing the music.

Master Spas had a great reputation around our area for a long time. We know a lot of people that have had them. I was at work when they brought in the Olympic swimmer, Michael Phelps, for an event, since he's one of their spokespeople. We were in Fort Wayne where Master Spas tub are manufactured. We wanted to get one for a while, and when we determined that we were in the market for one, we wanted to make sure we got one locally. We got a seven and a half footer and it's been perfect for us. It has the jets and some of the extra water feature, and then the LED lights as well.
They were great during the sales process. It was Labor Day weekend, where they were doing one of their sales, direct from them without a dealer in the middle, and no pressure and they answered all of our questions. They did bring the one out that we purchased, and there was a little issue and they took care of it immediately. It's incredibly easy to get hold of somebody. We love the tub. The quality seems perfect for what we needed for a family of 4, and we're very happy with our purchase. I've dealt with back problems before, and different people in our family have had different issues, and the tub seems to be helpful.

In the first year of use one of the main diverter valves started leaking. We called for service and they said gaskets are not covered under warranty so we should replace it ourselves. They sent literature on how to replace it. When I took off the cover I found that the plastic threads on both the top cap and the bottom part connected to the hot tub were broken which is why it was leaking.
Another call to the service dept and they sent me a new part but said they would not cover the labor to repair it. During a $99 service call by the repairman they suggested he said it would be $800 - $1,500 in labor to repair it because the hoses all the way back to the pump and to the separator that pushes water to each jet all need to be replaced because they are all permanently glued together. I’m stuck with either a dead hot tub or a huge repair bill.

Purchase and setup went great. But after 7 months some electrical issues popped up and needed a new electric board. It took 2 months to get someone out.

We bought a Twilight tub from Master Spas and so far, I’m satisfied with the quality. The tub is kind of a pie-shaped one and three people fit in it. I like the layout of the jets and the amount of jets that it has. And I also liked the cost. We got it through a sale on one spa convention center here locally. It has the circulating pump on it and it has LED lights on the three corners. I contacted them for the larger jets in the bottom for the foot massage part of it. When it went through manufacturing, they put the wrong jet in it, so Master Spas sent me the proper jet that was supposed to go in there so that I can turn it on and off and regulate the pressure on it. Before, it was just blasting full blast, and we’d have no control.
I like that the panel for the controls are easy to understand. The spa I had before had a much smaller panel and it was kind of difficult to figure out what was what on it. This one is a little bit bigger, and it’s much easier to set it up. It is also nice that when you’re in the spa, you can almost flip the screen so that when you’re in it, you can see it. And if you’re standing up and you look down on it, you can flip it around the way you look at it the right way.
With my other one, when you look at it if you were outside the spa, everything was upside-down. One had to actually be in it to read it. On this one, you just hit a button and it flips it 180 degrees so you can see it. It’s a much better hot tub than the first one I had. The first one I bought was a used one, and it was helping but I wish it had more jets. I use the tub at least once a week and it definitely helps a lot. I can be sore while I get in it, and when I get out, I don't feel sore.

We have a Healthy Living tub from Master Spas. We went to an expo that I thought was actually going to be a group of vendors with different brands of spas that we could go shop all in one spot. I found out that it was just one vendor and one manufacturer. But I was impressed with what we saw as far as the product and the demos that they had there at the expo. And we bought one of the models that was on display there. In the past, I’ve had Sundance Spas, and I was very impressed with the quality and the manufacturer of that, and Master Spas is probably the closest product I’ve seen to what I consider those to be constructed out of.
The therapeutic jets on our hot tub are great. I like the minimalistic chemical side of it as far the mineral filter. In getting it set up, I had to open up all the mechanical stuff and try and figure out what was going on and overall, the construction is good. I was a little disappointed that a lot of the material, framing-wise, are not, treated lumber in any way. They’re just untreated pine. Also, it is supposed to have a Bluetooth speaker system on the tub, and nobody has been able to figure out, service, or come out and repair it. On my last call to the local supplier, they were too busy delivering tubs to get mine fixed, so I have now had that tub for close to two months, and I still have no audio capabilities with it.
The local company here is very interested in selling the products but not in servicing them. Audio doesn't really affect the operation of the spa, but it’s a feature I paid for that I’ve not been able to use. I would love to be able to sit outside and sit in the tub, and enjoy some relaxing music. And so far, I have not been able to experience that. I would recommend others to shop a little bit to make sure that’s what they want. And because of my experience with the vendor, I would warn them that service is not a priority.
