The title is very misleading. I came here looking for price ideas for a swim spa for my mom, and I left here looking for price ideas for a swim spa for my mom. I'm now more confused than when I first started looking.
Good evening, the point was to let you know a self-supporting shell swim spa starts at 20k. The idea is to give you an idea of the difference in price and why. Actual pricing would be done by manufacturer as there’s many manufacturers of swim spas. Sorry for the confusion. Hope this helps!
@@brantz648 Good evening, well it’s both. We talk about the manufacturing process which reflects the swim spas price. I understand and I agree the title could be better. Thanks for watching!
I don’t understand. If the only issue in terms of durability for the non-self supporting one is the bowing of the material with time, then why not just install it partially underground so that there’s more support. Then you add in the other amenities so that you have a lower priced quality option…..???
Good afternoon, even if you install it in the ground or on the ground there's a lot of pressure on the sides, front, and back. We normally see shell cracks and leaks overtime. Here's a video below to really show you the difference between the two in strength. Hope this helps! th-cam.com/video/PbSElN2UQWI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jH_9Gxd6VCTtmJSY
Hi! Your channel is so helpful, as we’re considering a freestanding, year round pool/spa. Is the Waterwell from Endless Pools a self-supporting model? We really want a lot of open space for the kids to play, and aren’t as concerned with the water flow.
Good afternoon, Endless does make a self-supporting shell product. However, swim spas are a little different as they need a little more than a self supporting shell to support that much water. However, Endless makes a good product. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon, yes you need a concrete slab for a swim spa and it's specific for support reasons. I would contact your dealer for the pre-delivery instructions from the manufacturer. This is a very important steps. Hope this helps!
@@atlantahottubcenter Thank you very much to have taken the time to respond. Your site and videos capsules are very well done and honest. I learned so much, you sold me to Hydropool with thoses !
Good evening, yes I like Master Spas H2X trainer. However, it’s really more about if it fits you and your family’s needs. If it does, I think you’ll be making a good choice. Hope this helps!
Good evening, In my opinion Wellis is a reasonable product but it really depends on what your values are and what you want to get out of your swim spa. Wellis from what I see is a non self supporting shell product like most internet swim spas. Hope this helps!
Nice content. I’m thinking about future projects and swim spa that is not sitting on the floor/ground but is below grade with access to mechanicals for repairs and maintenance, swim spa set up for aging boomers to get into and out of. Folks that might have difficulty climbing up and down stairs. More of a sunken pool with the benefits of strong water flow. Any suggestions? Self supporting has equipment attached or equipment is separate from the tub?
Good afternoon, So, your equipment is all located in the motor compartment which is located behind the swim jets - no biggie. We suggest jazzing it up with a deck and trap door for easy access, or getting fancy with a vault if you want to sink it in the ground (just remember to make the door accessible!). And guess what? We've got you covered with a 3-4 tier step and handrails on both sides - luxury at its finest! Dive in, my friend! Hope this helps!
Good content. It's basically a salesman helping you qualify/disqualify two types of purchases. A throw-away swim spa for 10-15k after 6-7 years (non self-supporting, cheaper) vs a 25-45k (self-supporting, better quality) pool that will last 15-25 years. You can tell he's tired of hearing, "but my research said swim spas are 10k, why are you selling them for 40k". I do like the approach though, educate the customer so they disqualify themselves from wasting his time. They sell high-end (self-supporting, better warranty, better quality) swim spas and they cost a bunch. But..as he notes, not as much as a new pool (100k).
Hi, any help appreciated! Basically we have an older balboa free flow hot tub, we hadn’t used it for ages but decided to get it back up and running so we gave it a full clean and refilled the water. We’ve now got an issue where it’s heating up but not cutting out once it reaches the set temperature. We’ve tried this on all kinds of temperatures but it’s costing a fortune in electric where it’s constantly running. Any ideas on how to fix or anything that may need replacing?
Good morning, is it tripping the hi-limit thermostat? The hi-limit thermostat is designed to protect your hot tub from over heating. In other words if your physical hot tub water reaches 118 degrees, the hot tub should and will shut down. Remember, that these particular hot tubs don’t use an extra small circulation pump so a physical jet pump will constantly run on low speed when it needs to heat. Another rule of thumb is that if your set temperature isn’t 1-2 degrees from the actual temperature of the water in the hot tub it’s possible you might need a thermostat. How close is your set temperature to the actual temperature of the water? Hope this helps!
@@atlantahottubcenter Thanks for the response, basically its saying its 38*C so we set it to 40*C, when it reaches 40*C which is the limit its continuing to power whereas before it would always shut off until it had dropped back to 38*C and then heat it back up!
Good morning, so it's important to understand how to maintain clean water in your swim spa. Take responsibility for proper maintenance, as it's not the swim spa's fault if the chemicals are unbalanced. The dealership should train you, but it's ultimately up to you to keep it in top shape. However, they're certain systems within better built swim spas that can make maintenance easier for you but it won't do it for you. Hope this helps!
Good morning, I am not a fan on how Jacuzzi supports it's shells. In my opinion, I think they should come up with a better way to do it. They've been relatively successful using their method but I don't see the same longevity that I see out of some of the other brands. Hope this helps!
So needed - this segment of the industry is so mysterious - thank you for doing this! Access to service seems to be the biggest complaint, so as I live here in Oregon, considering Marquis spas who are local manufactured and sold - so imagine service is more accessible. Do you know anything about these?
Good evening, Marquis in my opinion makes a good swim spa but it really depends on why your buying it. There’s pros and cons to all the different products out there. May I ask why your buying it? Exercise? Relaxation? Pool? Hope this helps!
Good afternoon. the point was to let you know a self-supporting shell swim spa starts at 20k. The idea is to give you an idea of the difference in price and why. Actual pricing would be done by manufacturer as there’s many manufacturers of swim spas. Sorry for the confusion. Hope this helps!
Good afternoon, I'll make it simple. Full self supporting hand rolled fiberglass swim spas start at 20k and last 25-20 years. Non self supporting shell swim spas start at 10k and last 8-10 years. Hope this helps!

I thought you were going to give more ideas on pricing.
Good evening, the idea is to show you what you’re paying for so you can make the best decision for you and your family. Hope this helps!
I thought the same thing, he didn't mention One price.
@@montymalone28 If he mentioned the price you wouldn't want to buy it.

Hello
Do you recommend the H2X trainer 15 ? For swimming ( nothing pro ) , relaxation and fun .Family of 5
Good evening, yes I like Master Spas H2X trainer. However, it’s really more about if it fits you and your family’s needs. If it does, I think you’ll be making a good choice. Hope this helps!
Quite informative. Thanks.
Good afternoon, you're very welcome! Thanks for watching!!
Like all the information. Do you have any information on Wellis?
Good evening, In my opinion Wellis is a reasonable product but it really depends on what your values are and what you want to get out of your swim spa. Wellis from what I see is a non self supporting shell product like most internet swim spas. Hope this helps!

Would have been good if they had visual comparisons throughout the video.
Good morning, you ask, I answer. I’m going to create a better video and do just that. Thanks for watching!
So how much does it cost?
Good morning, non self supporting shell units are under 20k. Self supporting shell units start at 20k. Hope this helps!

So you describe non self supporting like Jacuzzi supports there hot tub?

6500+ the cost of the spa

Still don’t know LOL

Misleading title. Fairly informative on the construction and features, VERY light on "how much a swim spa costs".
