I will tell you, when the spa was first delivered, I stressed for several days, it was much bigger on my patio than in the showroom! We took that opportunity to add to the patio, I haven’t regretted my purchase since. We use the spa nearly every night. I have a lot of trouble with my back, due to my job, and in turn have a lot of trouble sleeping. Well with our evening de-stress time in the spa, my back is better and I sleep better than I have in years. Of course my kids are enjoying hosting hot tub parties! Maintenance of the spa is simple, the filter is easy to take out and clean. I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of our new spa!
