Also want to know this, same issue I am having.

How is it after 2 years now?

Master Spas and Artesian Spas.are likely the best made. Both are all Made In USA with non proprietary parts, have self supporting shells, full foam insulation,..etc. Jacuzzi manufacturers their tubs in Mexico which is the biggest drawback. *Maybe Trump can get the Jacuzzi to move their production back in the USA if he gets back in office. And If we survive this idiot communist Biden distrasturous economic polices) Other than moving the factory to Mexico, I think the review was a a bit harsh and seemed biased. Jacuzzi uses great quality Balboa circuit boards but yes, they are made according to Jacuzzis's specs. Proprietary parts isn't always bad. The prices aren't that much more than OEM Balboa or Gecko and are supposedely custom tailored to perform better. Jacuzzi's shells are strong and jets are very therapeutic. The UV bulb is simple to change out and the access panel is simple to take off. The LX jets are a Chinese brand that are made in Mexico but are pretty good quality. Jacuzzi tubs are decently put together. Hot Springs is another brand with proprietary parts and a factory in Mexico. Their hot tubs are also pretty good. I like their new Freshwater Salt System.. Their Highlife series spas are still made in the USA. Me personally, I like Jacuzzi's and Hot Springs' designs but will only buy a tub made in the USA as a matter of principle. *Nothing against Mexican workers.. in fact, I was told that many of the workers at the Hot Springs California factory actually live in Mexico and commute every day. I just want the factory to be in the United States. I currently own a Hot Springs Highlife Envoy and am very happy with it. Seems very well made. So far so good in 2 yrs. We ll see as the years go by. However, if I buy a new tub, I will seriously consider a Master Spas Legend Series it they are still made in USA.

​@@jackdawson3276 Grazie per gli ottimi consigli. Lei è molto preparato! Complimenti! Buona giornata ed un affettuoso abbraccio, Ciao. Thanks for the great advice. She is very knowledgeable! Well done! Have a nice day and a warm hug, Hello

Actually, just finding out they use non=pressure treaded wood was worth the review.

Yes, some Chinese parts, but assembled in Mexico.

I just got one today and still have wood bro

I would strongly suggest researching other brands. Also, my comments were the pump is made in China, which it is. The LX pump is the preferred pump from LPI (comes out of the same factory in China). Jacuzzi is not a terribly made hot tub, however, it has problems. The shell is done through the same manufacturing process as $3,500 online hot tubs. MOST spas are self supporting shells. Doesn't make sense why Jacuzzis are around 30% more. I've been to several hot tub manufacturing plants, including Jacuzzi. Have you?

@@hottubexpert1137 Again , tell us what is wrong with LX pumps They are one of the biggest manufactures of spa pumps and motors fro spa pumps Even many US spa pump brands using LX motors in their pumps From your videos here and from all your answer it is very clear that you donno much about spa manufacturing

@@heckdi LOL, It sounds like you don't.

They are not owned by Apollo anymore

Thank god I came across this video. Just got interested into master spa and was thinking they were good. Have you got any recommendations on which brand to got with as i have found that all hot tub brands in uk are somewhat bad?

Rikin Patel HotSpring spas are a good way to go. A few years ago we were looking at spas and it’s easy to fall for a cheap price. We’ve had our hotspring spa for over 10 years now and not a thing has gone wrong. :)

Depends on where its coming from. You could submit photos at @t FL1 code is a flow error, make sure water line is proper, if you just drained and refilled it could be due to an air lock, dirty filters, or blocked suctions. If those don't fix the issues you may have a bad circulation pump, or bad first pump.

Sounds like you purchased from a hot tub show... Sorry...

Both good hot tubs. Artesian aftermarket parts are expensive due to proprietary parts. Strongly suggest calling the dealers and researching a replacement part cost of say a heater.

Hot Tub Expert I can get a heater for a J300 series for 130 bucks online, the standard balboa M7 heater I got for my old master spa was 120. Their stuff isnt as expensive as you imply

They main issue I have with cardboard is it molds... Any area in a hot tub that has a open barrier (like the equipment bay) will hold humidity. Cardboard molds, we had a customer with restricted lung disease which leaves you more prone to issues with mold who had to throw away a 3 year old jacuzzi.

@@hottubexpert1137 Not all cardboard molds

@@hottubexpert1137 you truly are BS lol

The correct way is to use a sheet of plastic as the foam is expanding, then cut excess.
