My family loves this hot tub . It's been good to us . A few problems over the years . A thermostat , due to water chemical imbalance the heater coil rotted and needed to be replace after 6 years . Now I've noticed a high water leak . I do not know what to do . Can anyone help . It seems to be in a corner . Hot tub holds and operated through the winter with about 2/3 of the water . Help

This is my 3rd hot tub, I've had a Dimension One and a Cal Spa. The Hot Springs Grandee is definitely in my opinion the best designed and built tub available. The on board ACE system is awesome and easy to understand. This tub is very, very powerful and just a joy to relax in.
By Customer Service Hot Spring VanessaMarch 23, 2016
Thank your review. As a veteran spa owner of different brand spas your feedback is telling. I am glad that you are enjoying your spa and that you find the ACE system easy to use.

Grandee NXT - luxury spa
PostedMarch 9, 2016
We opted for the Grandee NXT. It is a true luxury spa, with the touch screen interface, beautiful cabinet and lighting both interior and exterior. The spa adds to the relaxing experience. ACE salt system takes alittle getting used to, but definitely gentler than Chloring.

Amazing Hot Tub!
PostedFebruary 25, 2016
I have been extremely impressed with the Hot Spring Grandee that I purchased from Ohio Pools and Spas. I have hip arthritis and lower back problems, and the the hot tub does an amazing job easing these ailments. The cover is easy to open and close, the remote control makes operating the tub a piece of cake, and the seats are very comfortable. I will continue to recommend Hot Spring to everyone!

Hot Springs Grandee Reality Check: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly.
PostedFebruary 13, 2016
The Good, the bad, the ugly.
The Good: Great looking spa, nice design, very smooth salespeople.
The Bad: Easy to buy the best and think you are trouble free. Not the case. Unusually high replacement of out of warranty motors, pumps, circuit boards, Covers, it never ceases. $500 a trip. Seldom anything easy or inexpensive. The 10 year repair costs on top of a ten figure spa is a real disappointment.
The Ugly, Hot Springs Grandee Spa for us is a money pit that seems to quit over the holidays or friends and family visits. Nothing like getting into an ice cold spa in the Midwest winter under a beautiful moon and cold, clear sky.

Everyone Needs A Hot Springs Hot Tub!

I am a Chiropractor and everyone needs a hot springs hot tub to improve their overall health. Our family loves our Grande because of the amazing health benefits it offers. We can relax better, stress is reduced, we sleep better, our spines are more flexible, and our circulation improves with each use. I recommend every person consider a Hot Springs Tub!

Our Mountain Retreat
PostedJanuary 29, 2016

We have a house in the mountains of NC. We've had our spa for about 18 months now and we couldn't be happier. Haven't had any problems at all. We purchased the spa from the Greenville SC store and it was installed by the Asheville NC store. Both were great.
I'd highly recommend the cover assist. It makes opening and closing the spa really simple.

Great Family Fun
PostedJanuary 21, 2016
I've had the Grande NXT with the ACE Saltwater system and Connextion for remote management for about 3 months now and here are my thoughts.
The spa is huge, fits 7 comfortably and has room for more. The jets are great but we aren't that tall and the corner Moto Jets are a bit too deep for us. It would have nice to have a floor well so you can place your feet in and push back for support. We find ourselves using the cool down steps for that purpose but it's not always comfortable.
Also there really isn't a calf jet, you can squirm around to place a jet on your calf but it would have been nice to have some where your calfs would naturally go.
But the jets are strong and all of them are adjustable so you can tone it down if you want to.
I have this in a vacation home so I opted for the ACE Salt Water system and the Connextion to manage it remotely.
The ACE system is not a set it an forget it system like a pool salt water system. You will still need to add in Shock, Chlorine and PH to supplement the ACE system. You will also need a lot of defoamer on hand because it requires soft water and soft water foams up very quickly (very very quickly)
The ACE system combined with the Connextion is a must for vacation homes. With the Connection system I have been able to manage my spa from my phone when I can't get up to the house. Each week from my phone I check the Ace system and run the clean up cycle which circulates the natural chlorine and keeps the water in check. When I arrive I open the cover half way and run the jets for about 30 mins to air out before we use it. The two systems together have been a huge relief for me.
A bonus tip - when I leave the house I set the temp to about 91 degrees and just before I head up to the house again I raise the temp to 104 from my phone and it's ready for us when we arrive. It's been saving me even more on my bill.
Speaking of electric bills, I was really concerned with that because after I bought the spa everyone of my friends told me a horror story about how it would cost me $100's per month to run. After two solid months it only went up about $25 bucks per month. But it has been unseasonably warm so now that it's getting colder the true test will come. I expect it will add about $35-40 per month in the cold months and $20-28 in the warmer months.
We love it, our friends love it and it's something we all look forward to each night.

PostedJanuary 13, 2016
Grandee is a great tub. We really struggle with water quality. There seems to be a lot of gimmicky products and opinions on how to keep water nice is varying. Bromine or chlorine. Enzymes? Ace system? As a newbie, finding the right balance has been tough. We check every day but only get 3 good days a week. The quality of the tub is great. Wish we had more foot jets.
Response from HotSpringBy BenCustomer ServiceJanuary 15, 2016

don't buy salt system
PostedJanuary 13, 2016
The rest of the spa system is wonderful. The lights make night soaking a pleasure. We bought the grand and I am 6'4" and there is plenty of room to stretch out. I like the multiple filters. We use the frog system for a chemical and it is very gentle on our skin. We did have the salt system and if failed, the tech was at our home more than we used the spa finally had then take it out and use the chemical mentioned above.

Buying the Hot Spring Grandee, was like buying a life time retreat. My wife and I use it two times a day first thing in the morning watching the sun rise with the peace and calm of the morning. Which gives as the energy to deal with the hectic day in front of us.
Then once again too talk about our day and sooth our bodies to a restful night sleep.
It truly has turned are home into a retreat that we rarely stray from.
