Great Addition to a House with No Tub

I downsized last year and the new house didn't have a tub, which I love. The compromise was putting in a hot tub and patio. I love the Sovereign. I had it sunk into a cement patio so only the top 24" is above ground, with the equipment side "vaulted" for an additional 24" so I can take off the side, drain the water into the vault (which then has a sump pump that was built into the vault). It took a lot of ingenuity on the part of my contractor, who then built a little matching deck on that side of the tub as a cover for the equipment side.
The dealer has been fantastic, the hot tub has been easy to care for and maintain in the first 6 months. Very happy with the product and my choice.

i purchased a Sovereign in 1999 i've only had a few small problems with it. I use it several times a week. It still has the original pump, light, wiring, regulators etc.I have moved it 6 times and the shell got a crack that was easily repaired. I'll buy another when I move this time, leaving it for the renter to enjoy.I've replaced the cover 5 times.

Best Investment Ever!!!!!
PostedFebruary 26, 2018
I absolutely love it!! I have a very physical job and this feels awesome at the end of the day! Living in Maine, being energy efficient was a big concern. It has lived up to their claims. I have had mine now for 10 years and have had hardly any troubles. The service I did need was awesome! I am moving to Florida soon and will get another one for sure. Thank you HotSpring!

Hot water and strong jets can make all the difference after a long day at work, and the relaxation doubles without the worry of a big power bill. Thank you for being a part of the Hot Spring family and good luck with your move!

Looking Forward To Many Years of Hot Tub Ownership
PostedJanuary 20, 2018
I was one of these people that believed that hot tubs were a luxury item and used for parties. I developed chronic shoulder pain and had a friend that bought an Aria. One soak and I was sold. My wife had been telling me for ten years that we needed a hot tub. We went into to our local dealer (Lake Air Pool Supply) and they let us demo a Sovereign right on the sales floor. We decided that was the tub for us. It took a little while to get as it was the holidays and weather was bad, but it was worth the wait. We had our first soak at our house last night and I can say confidently that this was one of the best investments in our wellness we have ever made.

Unbelievably great!
PostedDecember 28, 2017
For years, I wanted a Hot Springs spa, and my wife said "No way." Then one day when my wife was traveling, i stopped in to a Hot Springs store. The selection was awesome! I called my wife and told her about it and she said: "Go for it, but I won't use it." We had the spa installed two weeks ago, and I can't get her out of it! She is absolutely crazy about it. She said: "Why did't we do this years ago?" (You can't win with women!).

Wish it was a hot tub and not a warm tub.
PostedOctober 17, 2017
My previous Sovereign would allow the temp to get to 108 degrees. This one is limited to 104 and just doesn't feel hot enough. I love everything else about it.

By Customer Service Hot Spring VanessaOctober 30, 2017
Thank you for your review.

While 104 degrees is the industry standard for high temp. Your spa is equipped to allow an temperature override. This will allow you to increase the spa an additional two degrees. This is the same feature as in our previous spas. However, we have made the operation much more deliberate. I will email you the directions on how to increase the temperature.

Used to be the best hot tub ever. Had my last one 24 years
PostedSeptember 12, 2017
Now the quality is gone. It's made overseas and it's not great. I'm on my 4th cover in one year. The product is not what it used to be.

By Customer Service Hot Spring VanessaSeptember 12, 2017
I am sorry to hear that your are not happy with with your second Hot Spring Spa. While our spas are not made overseas I can understand your frustration. The cover is an accessory that normally needs to be replaced every 3-4 years or so. Having to replace it 4 times in one year is excessive however, falls within the warranty time frame. I would like to see how I can improve your experience. Please look for an email from me.

Great indoor spa
PostedAugust 12, 2017
We have owned this spa for just over a year now, and it has been great for our family. I have a lot of neck and back tension, and the bench jets are perfect for me. We have had no issues at all with the unit. We use it on a four season porch, and since it does not heat-up the porch in the winter it must have good insulation. Overall we consider this a great purchase.
By Customer Service Hot Spring VanessaAugust 22, 2017
Thank you for your review.

Being able to use your spa indoors or out is a great feature. Hot tub soaking under the stars or in your cozy four season porch sounds fantastic.

Upgrade from Prodigy
PostedAugust 3, 2017
When we bought our home it included a HotSprings Protigy spa. After almost 20 years of performance in the California elements, it was time for a replacement. Naturally, we went for the Hotsprings Sovereign and could not be happier. The features are amazing; clearly the right choice. I am back for a HotSpring spa in another 20 years.

Hello veteran hot tub owner.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your spa experience. Some people feel better wearing water shoes to give them the grip that they are looking for. Perhaps that may help. Over all I am glad to hear that you are happy with your spa.

Medium sized tub, very quiet, good tub jets.
a little too slippery when entering
By Customer Service Hot Spring BenJuly 25, 2017
Hello, and congratulations on your brand new Hot Spring Sovereign model spa! We do recommend using caution when entering and exiting the spa, as the shell is smooth, providing a quality finish and smooth texture throughout. If needed, you can always speak with your dealership for options on installing a hand-rail, which can help with entering, or exiting the spa. Thank you again for your candid feedback, and wishing you many years of happy hot tub soaking! - Ben, Customer Service Team hotspring_brand
