DreamMaker Spa X-400 Portable Hot Tub 4 Person 11 Jets 1.5 HP Review

DreamMaker Spa X-400 Portable Hot Tub 4 Person 11 Jets 1.5 HP

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.

Lifesmart Rock Solid Luna Spa with Plug & Play Operation Review

Lifesmart Rock Solid Luna Spa with Plug & Play Operation
Average Reviews:

Delivery was much sooner than estimated.Helpful driver delivered spa to garage instead of at end of driveway.Shipping weight of 355 pounds included an 8' x 5' wooden pallet.I managed to move the spa on its pallet to its location by myself using only a hand-dolley, but would recommend others to have at least two to tackle this move.Spa comes with GFCI protection built into the spa's electrical plug.Spa is actually one of FreeFlow's "Sport" models which were discontinued last year for new model names this year.Other than having to drill screw holes in the spa for the four attachments to hold the spa cover, no other assembly was required.Be sure to fill spa before plugging in, and read the instruction manual carefully.Spa worked as advertised once plugged in.However, friction heating takes 24 plus hours to reach preset operating water temperature.My spa is worth every bit of its low price and FreeFlow has an excellent reputation for low-end spas.

After a month of owning, I now know that FreeFlow will support this spa.Through them I bought an ozonator, replacement GFCI cable, and replacement filter cartridges.Call or e-mail them for which part numbers you need to order.Spa is ozonator-ready, but you must be knowledgeable in order to install because ozonator comes without installation instructions.From a local spa shop I also bought a Nature 2 mineral sanitizer and Potassium mono-per-sulfate (non-chlorine oxidizer) to combine with the ozonator, and now water stays crystal clear using only 1 tsp of di-chlor per 245 gallon tub capacity.

This is truly a must have product.We have a large inground pool, and it cleans it up quickly and easily.Great for the in between touch ups.I never bought the sand and silt bag because of the price, instead I use a cut down knee high nylon stocking, placed inside the bag it comes with and fold it over the rubber, this method picks up every last bit of sand (we live near the beach).
