Our second one

Age:Over 65

Yes, I recommend this product.

PostedDecember 8, 2015

We would have no other kind. With the new silk balance system, it is even easier to take care of, making it even more enjoyable. We use it 2-3 times per week all year round. Even our grandkids love it. Our initial concerns about the new system were quickly and correctly answered by Ohio Pools and Spas associates went setting up the tub. They were very helpful. The new lighting system is very distinctive and have had many compliments about it.

PostedNovember 16, 2015

This is my second Hot Springs Sovereign. The first one lasted about 16 years. My only complaint is that the water temperature is limited to 104 degrees. On my old one it would go to 106 to 108 degrees. This one now feels tepid in comparison.

Hi Jerry, very excited to hear about your 2nd Hot Spring Spa, we really appreciate your continued patronage and honest feedback! As it turns out, UL/ETL requires all spa control panels not to exceed 104 degrees. Please keep an eye out for a follow up email, which will have more information on your shared concern. Thanks!

This was a long time in coming. Now that we have our hot tub (about 6 months now) we are so happy with our purchase. We are both retired and enjoy it everyday, rain or shine. Ryan from Presque Isle Hot Tubs, Erie, Pa. was our sales person and everything he told us was 100%. Mark set the unit up and was so helpful on guiding us thru everything that we needed to do to keep it working properly. It is so easy that even we can do it with very little effort. I can't say enough good things about the company that sold & set up our tub. We look forward to many years use. Highly recommend the sovereign model.

Though not the least expensive spa on the market by any means, the quality is very evident. The ACE system is fantastic, especially when the spa is not used for extended periods. No worry about water quality. Was always concerned about electricity useage, but the addition of the spa is not even noticeable
Dealer also provided plenty of assistance in getting us going.
No regrets on this purchase.

No, I do not recommend this product.

PostedOctober 20, 2015

I purchased a hot tub in December of 2012 and it has been serviced 3 times since then. Each time I had to pay a fee to have it looked at. Most recently, a part failed which caused the hot tub to leak out. This was a defect in this model. Even though it was covered under warrant, I still have to pay to for the chemicals to refill to the hot tub (not to mention the water bill). Very disappointed.

I purchased my new Sovereign in 2000. I have relocated once since then and it moved well. I run it with 220 because I live in northern Michigan. The cover has greatly surpassed my expectations. I replaced the cover this summer 2015. The inner shell still looks new, and has been easy to keep clean. I am now using bromine and like it very much. The size of the spa is perfect.
Also I am modifying the light from the standard blue LED to a remote controlled multi-color programmable LED bulb.

Sounds like your spa is running great, not bad for 15 years old.

Glad to hear that you moved with your spa and that it traveled well. Some people might feel discouraged buy moving with there spa however, as you can attest, it moves well.

I am sure that Michigan winters soaking in your Hot Tub has to be amazing. Excited that you are enjoying your spa.

This spa is excellent. The service is unsurpassed and the overall experience of owning a HotSpring Spa is very relaxing. The up keep is and maintenance is a breeze. You may finder a cheaper spa but the word "cheaper* will definitely come into play. I have sold approximately 5 spas for HotSpring based upon friends and family visiting and relaxing in my spa.

We had our 1st Hot Springs Hot Tub for 18 years. We enjoyed it with family and friends and each other in all kinds of weather year round. It was even great fun when it was snowing!
When our Classic grew tired we decided to replace it with the Sovereign model. It has great jets and beautiful lighting. We also purchases a lift for the cover and that has made enjoying the entire hot tub so much easier.

Tublover

No, I do not recommend this product.

PostedAugust 11, 2015

This is my second Sovereign, I have called it the six person tub meant for one! I've loved the tub up until this year when it started leaking somewhere around the moto massage. It started this winter and I had to keep it up and running, filling an inch to two inches every other day because of the worry of freeze. Now with my "local" dealer being an hour away #it's not my original dealer as we've moved since I purchased it# it's nearly impossible to get service without paying through the nose. They have been helpful giving me dye to run through to find the leak and I have taken off the panels and removed what seems like miles of insulation and still can't find it. Now I don't know where to take it from here. It's so frustrating as it's been such a source of comfort in the past. Being only six years old I wouldn't think this would happen. So it just sits empty until I give up and pay for the travel fee and service charges.
