Looking to maybe get a hot tub. Just started looking and hot springs guys says his r the best. Jacuzi guy says that they started the outdoor hot tubs. Sundance is the Lexus of hot tubs. I just wanted to get feedback from people who own outdoor spas and what brand do you have. What was the cost to run it during winter and summer. How often do you use it. What is the weekly/monthly maintance for it etc.. Any info would help.
Thank you,

All three of those brands are luxury hot tubs. Do note that Jacuzzi rolls off the same line that Sundance does. All three are great tubs. They all are expensive to fix but the warranty will cover you for five years on the important things. The cost of running the Hotsprings will be the cheapest by about 8 bucks a month. No with that said..the cost of repairing the Hotsrings will almost always be more expensive since their parts are very difficult to otain and please don't think your dealer will be there tomorrow just because they may have for 20 years. I repair all three. I like all three. I am hard to pick one over the over but I love Sundance's quality and jets, not too mention their arrangements. Also I am no fan of the Moto Massage seat. They are broke at every tub I go to and being 80% fused (back) I am really into the therapy aspect of a tub. Of these three, you can't beat a Sundance. Now with all of that said...I gave away mine and brought home a Masterspa LSX. What we don't know is where you live so electricity is going to be hard to tell you. Sundance-Jacuzzi in NC, around $30 a month. Hotsprings about $22. I use mine every day and realy keep up on my chemicals. Now for sanitizing, I have a CD Ozonator, use very little Bromine, a Frog mineral cartrige and a non-chlorine shock for oxidizing. My tub has no smell and costs about $10 a month in chemicals. Almost every tub has a few different modes you can run it in to save money, except the Hotsprings. I do wish my Masterspa had those Sundance jets, and I wish that Sundance had that Masterspa frame. We always accept phone calls if you have a specific question.

The Pool Guy had a great response, and follow his instructions first for the filters. Unfortunately your model of Hot Tub does not have a flow switch as some do. Your hot tub model has a pressure switch that hopefully is bad. Poor water chemistry kills them easily. This is something that is easy to replace yourself and test yourself to see if it is bad. 1st turn your power off at the breaker. Next remove the paneling below your topside control. You will see the spa pack. Open it up and on the inside you will see a diagram of what goes where. The heater is the 15" long tube that is below the spa pack and the pressure switch is around the back of it with two wires coming out of it to your circuit board. With the power off connect those two wires together with some electrical tape. Flip the power back on and see if your flow reading goes away. If the flo message goes away then get a new pressure switch and some teflon tape and replace it. Be sure to pay attention to which wire was attached to which place on the switch. If it doesn't I hate to tell you that your circuit board is bad and will have to be replaced which can be very expensive. The pressure switch is around 20 bucks. I hope for you that is it.
