Costco Hotub:

IIRC:

  • $10,000 Canadian
  • Water jet supply hoses just glued to jets, not glued and clamped to jets
  • “Big” jets are just bigger housings, not actually bigger jets
  • Fiberglass tub shell is not properly supported underneath
  • Tub shell is not covered in insulation
  • The box is insulated instead of shell, trapping heat of the tub in with the pumps, causing overheating
  • Claims 3 pumps for marketing purposes but 1 of the 3 pumps is just a cheap air pump and air pumps are for chumps

I majored in Hot Tub Studies with a minor in pruney fingers.
