I purchased an X500 which is a bit larger but uses the same "friction" heating system. Spa arrived well packaged except the clips you have to install to hold the cover were not in the cover box. I filled the spa and it leaked. The manufacturer said that leaks from loose jets/return fittings were not covered by warranty and I would have to pay a tech if the leak was not in the underside plumbing. So much for quality and standing behind your products. Next it took 36 hours to heat 61 degree tap water to 100 degrees with an outside temp of mid to upper 40s and nights low 40s to high 30s. Getting it to 102 took about another 5 - 6 hours. Since the outside temps have dropped to low 40s day and mid 30s night it has not reached 102 again even with the cover in place and waterfall and air controls off. I purchased a floating thermometer and it reads 2-3 degrees below the spa readout. The manufacturer finally decided to send out a replacement control pack but I have yet to see it. He said when it arrives he will send a tech to install it. I have had this spa for a month and have not been able to use it. I drained it, removed and checked all the valves and housing for the umpteenth time and found an O-ring not in place and scrap plastic under one of the jet housing rings. I think I fixed the leak problem finally as tightening did no good. Well I have had a spa for the holiday season that I could not use, could not leave (had to keep adding water and chemicals), and have used about 6 months worth of test strips and chemicals and still cannot use it. If you are not a spa mechanic Dream Maker is definitely not for you. Maybe all of their products do not have this many problems, but BEWARE of any outside spa without an actual electric heater element. I have owned a Continental Spa since 1980 and it was 110/20amp and had a great heater. I never had to tighten a jet or do anything other than replace filters so maybe I expect too much of modern manufacturing.
