Reviews and Complaints

I HAVE HAD ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS EVERY ONE HAS HAD, IM ON A FIXED INCOME A DISABLED VET FROM VIETNAM AND THIS SPA IS MY WAY OF WALKING, SO THE LINER WENT FIRST IN LESS THAN 6 MTHS, REPLACED IT FOR 250. NOW THEY WANT OVER 300 TO FIX PUMP/HEATER UNIT, I CANT AFFORD NO MORE SO ILL TURN IT INTO A SUMMMER POND FOR THE BIRDS THEN SHOOT AT IT TO TAKE OUT MY FLUSTRATION FOR GETTING INVOVED WITH SUCH A TERRIBLE PRODUCT, A FEW GOT BLAST WITH MY OLD M-16 WILL DO ME GOOD THEN ILL POST IT ON THE FACEBOOK FOR GOOD ADVERTISING, YOU CAN TELL IM A REAL HAPPY CUSTOMER,

I purchased one of these spa's also and I got just over 90 days out of it. I am an industrial controls electrician that installes probes and sensors all the time and this is one of the fastest times, I have seen sensors fail. I called the manufacture and tried to order replacement probes, but was told that they do not sell any of the internal parts.

I am looking around at my suppliers and seeing if I can find the manfacture of these probes.

I have attached a picture of the probe I have more pictures also.

On March 22, 2010, I purchased a Snappy Spa portable hot tub (manufactured by Comfort Line Products) from Allegro Medical. At the same time, I purchased the chemical kit that included the chemicals recommended by the manufacturer for proper maintenance of the hot tub. I set up the spa on April 9, 2010. I followed the owner’s manual for the set up and maintenance of the hot tub, in particular the daily chemical maintenance. I made sure that the chemical levels were the same as was recommended in both the spa owner’s manual and the instructions included with the chemical kit. At no time was the water in the spa outside the recommended limits for chemical balance.

On June 30, 2010, after less than 90 days of use, the heater and blower unit stopped working. I contacted Customer Service and spoke to Melissa Collier. Immediately upon my telling her what the problem was, she asked me how often I used “Scale and Rust Inhibitor” in the spa. I told her I had never used the product, as it was not listed in recommended chemical maintenance in either the owner’s manual or as part of the recommended chemical kit. She told me that the problem with the heater was a result of “build up” that Scale and Rust Inhibitor would have prevented. She later emailed me a document that stated the same thing.

She emailed me instructions for having the unit repaired which includes my having to pay for shipping both ways and also the distinct possibility that I would also need to pay for all repairs if the technicians conclude that the broken unit was a result of “improper chemical maintenance.” As Ms Collier has already informed me, both verbally and by email, that the problem is a result of not using a chemical THAT THE MANUFACTURER NEVER INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED TO USE, I believe that I will be charged for the entire repair. In addition, I need to provide the company with my credit card details in order for the process to begin, and I won’t know how much the repair has cost or how much has been charged to my credit card until AFTER the repairs have been made. This is not good business policy.

After doing some research today, I have discovered numerous complaints about this company, and in particular about the heater/blower unit. People have spent hundreds, and in a few cases, thousands of dollars on repairs to the unit only to have it break down again in a month or two. I have no intention of following suit.

If this “Scale and Rust Inhibitor” chemical was SO IMPORTANT to the operation of the spa – so important that by NOT using it the unit would break down in under 90 days – the chemical should have been part of the recommended spa maintenance listed in the owner’s manual and should have been part of the manufacturer’s recommended chemical kit. I suspect that the problem is not the lack of a chemical, but in faulty workmanship in the pump unit.

I will NOT be giving Comfort Line Products my credit card details for repair, nor pay for shipping on a faulty heater/blower unit that should be replaced in good faith by the manufacturer.

I believe that Comfort Line Products should send me a NEW heater/blower unit AT THEIR EXPENSE to replace the faulty one. They need to stand by their product! I realize that this is a “budget product, ” but I expected it to last several years, not less than 3 months.

I also believe that, if the company continues to insist that heater/blower problems are a result of “build up” that could have been prevented, Comfort Line Products should immediately contact all owners of Snappy Spa (and their other portable spa units that include the same heater/blower unit) to inform them that “Scale and Rust Inhibitor” be part of daily chemical maintenance.

I also have one of these junk hot tubs. I have the same problem. Here's how the warranty works. You give them a credit card number and then send it to them for warranty repair. They will repair or replace the item then decide if any of it was covered by the warranty. They will then charge your credit card whatever amount the warranty repair cost plus shipping. You get to find out how much you warranty repair cost when you receive the back. If you do a search on the Internet you will find most if not all repairs were not cover by the warranty some costing over $450.00. I am looking for parts or a unit that isn't working to use for parts in my less ten a year old hot tub. Excuse me while I go to throw up thing about the money I wasted on this.

We had 5 power pacs in 1 yr, now that the warrenty is up they won't even discount one. Why would you pay another $270 for a recondiditoned one when all of the ones to date failed. I just talked to the service person and she said it was our fault they went! Don't bother with this company, they just don't care.

Good luck getting any satifaction from this company. Two power packs in less than 6 months and all they want to do is sell you another one.
