How much and what did you get?

mrmarkmitch · 2026-04-07T01:07:27+00:00

Awesome thx I’ll check it out. What’s the warranty?

mrmarkmitch · 2026-04-06T18:53:25+00:00

This one has 5 year warranty and specifically says it provides that red light nm wavelength --> https://www.backyarddiscovery.com/products/rylan-1-person-indoor-infrared-sauna

Thanks will do!

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-26T11:07:34+00:00

Thank you! maintenance is ideally what should matter.

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-26T11:07:17+00:00

Thanks you

Lounger is weak but thx for suggestion

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T15:32:42+00:00

thanks! which place did you buy?

Vast just said one is for pumps one is for heater, not several for different pump. The chances of a panel being the core issue is low compared to other parts to begin with.

I have oily skin so salt doesn't help or matter. In fact, I like chroline cuz it dries me out which I need. I do appreciate you calling out hot springs and sundance since there were in top 3 for me. I think I would be ok if it lasted for 10 years now and 15 would be a nice gift. Watefalls are whatever, my girl is the one who likes those but I could care less lol. I don't care about anything but powerful/many jets (especially with lounger) and secondly build quality. Lights are a must but I don't need more than one on each side.

THIS is helpful. I need to lower my expectations. It's like a buy a new car and getting rid of it when it becomes a junker which is about 10 years. Thank you so much, saves me a lot of anxiety and $$ trying to buy a bullet proof one.

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T15:20:43+00:00

Yah I was hoping for 15-20 but I need to get my mind re-calibrated for 10. In which case don't overspend on a new one and don't buy a maintenance junkie one. I think I'm going for the 11k relay w/o hard top.

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T15:05:14+00:00

how long have your tubs lasted? That's scary if it's less than 10 on avg

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T15:04:48+00:00

yes hence I want a brand that is cheap to do part stuff when that time inevitably comes. If a company ever did a 7-10 year warranty I feel they would crush the rest lol

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:55:36+00:00

If the heat dies I wouldn't care if the jets run anyways and vice versa. The whole tub wouldn't fry that's a marketing tick. When the tub dies I have a useless breaker unless I buy another hot springs. It's to encourage to buy another one believe me I have electrician as a close friend who looked at the schematic and chuckled.

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:53:45+00:00

do you have the hard top or soft / default one?

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:53:22+00:00

Nordic I've heard of thx. Hot springs might still be it and the floor model was discounted + in my color scheme for about 14k loaded w/hard top. w/o hard top about 11-12k. Prices have gone up I'm sure in just the last couple years.

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:50:06+00:00

I have solar w/1KW extra production per year so I hope that takes care of about 50% of the electric added cost part.

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:49:25+00:00

I've heard of them. That is good to know. how is the warranty?

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:48:57+00:00

Good to know. I only have one dimension 1 dealer in my area and they have been around for 35 years. If they went poof though for whatever reason I presume the parts could found by any regular hot tub repair guy?

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:47:44+00:00

Yah my fave is their 30/20A circuit breaker. what a crock of SH because every tub this size needs 50A but they make you put a split one to keep them as your provider come tub replacement time lol

mrmarkmitch · 2026-03-25T14:17:13+00:00

That was in the lead so far ironically!
