What I wish I knew before buying a swim spa.

What happens here

Oliver stresses the importance of using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components for critical parts like pumps and control systems. He highlights that while many brands use components from the same manufacturers (e.g., Balboa or Gecko), the quality of these components can vary significantly. Master Spas prioritizes high-grade components, including variable-speed pumps, which contribute to longer lifespans, better performance, and superior massage experiences due to higher gallons-per-minute flow. Choosing spas with lower-grade or non-OEM components can lead to premature failure and costly replacements.

Goal: Ensure the swim spa uses high-quality Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components.

Hide

hot tub here um and do you do all of them the same Oliver yeah every system has a full Canadian icine insulation on Canadian iine yep iine yep correct what the heck is that word you know that's that's a little past my pay grade I'll tell you that but uh what you're going to find here is you know I pulled out the lot to show customers but I can actually grab away this insulation I can pull it apart and I can access any Plumbing line on this unit so it's not hard cell it's open cell yeah oh I don't know if that rings a bell with you guys but that also means that the air can penetrate into this insulation which improves its insulation Factor correct so that's huge closed cell the air can't penetrate and that also makes it harder and brittle over time and that decreases its R value correct and then and on top of that you can't access anything on a hard cell without chewing it away with a back end or hammer or Sala so it's very timec consuming to to access it so your insallation looks the same but it's fundamentally different correct Zach I don't know if that's the best spot for you but it is what it is just he's good yeah yeah you're good Zach you're good yeah good thinking Zach good thinking abil that frecker has to go through
