Master Spas's reply to: Model CS738L - L for Lemon

Thank you for your recent review. We dug through all our files and systems and unfortunately can't find any details about any past issues with your hot tub. Regarding your warranty, you would have received a copy of the appropriate warranty with your hot tub when it was delivered in August of 2010. The Clarity Spa line has a 3 year surface and structure warranty along with a 1 year parts and labor warranty. Some of our premium hot tub brands do come with a 5 year parts and labor warranty so you may have been looking at one of those specific brands websites.
We're sorry for any confusion and frustration you have had. Our goal is to always have our customers satisfied with the product and we continually work to make the experience better for every Master Spas owner.

Model CS738L - L for Lemon

Back on 8/23/10 your company delivered spa to us that we purchased at the Indiana State Fair. The spa was delivered as promised, our old spa was removed, & we were given a very quick tutorial on operation & handed a book of instructions, which was not easily understood.

But we got it filled & operational & enjoyed it for a little over a year when we got a message "heater too hot." We tried to figure out what to do from our instruction book & finally called the spa people we always dealt with. Young man worked on the spa all fall & into the winter but couldn't get it fixed so we had it winterized. Thinking it was a 5 yr. warranty as stated on your website, we had it looked at again & at your suggestion called your guy who told us the same thing to try as our guy had said.

Warranty turned out to be only a year but when our guy finally figured out what part was needed he couldn't get from you because he wasn't an "authorized dealer" & you wouldn't release the part. Bottom line, we lost our desire for a spa so it sat there until we finally decided to get rid of it when the cover started falling apart so we took a saw to it. No one wanted it. We should have called you a long time ago to have it picked up.

I will say it appeared to be well constructed though the lid never would stay on the filter & the extra filter left did not fit our model.

We just felt like your customer service was lacking as we tried to deal with your company through it all finally giving up. So no recommendation from us for Master Spas should anyone ask.

Loss:
$3000
Reason of review:
Poor customer service

Preferred solution: Too late for any of the above - just wanted to register our story - we should have stuck with the problem, but lost interest.

This will keep us as customers forever. I believe that every company's product can sometimes have defects... That doesn't mean I feel Master Spa is a bad product.. It's all in how the issues are resolved.

I look forward to speaking with you soon. Sincerely Melissa & Mark

I have not talked to anyone from Master Spa's, I left my phone numbers and my email. The history information would be with the dealer that we purchased our spa from in Geove City.

They are aware of our problems, was in contact with them last Monday. The Spa has been out of order for more then a week.

Updated by user Jul 23, 2015

I would also like to add... After complaining about the stereo not working we received a very generic looking remote...

Still haven't been able to hear anything... The store copied off an owner manual off the internet (not the correct one) after spending an hour of our time reading the wrong manual we were even more disgusted..

We have never once discussed ANY warranty information.... I'm am just now gathering information from these reviews that I feel should have been discussed before the actual purchase.

Original review Jul 23, 2015

I paid close to $10.000 for our Master Spa, Twilight series. This spa NEVER came with an owners manual, we have also never been able to use the stereo system them cost $800.00.

It has had several leaks, the jets work off an on and the mother had to be replaced in the first year. This hot tub was suppose to be enjoyable and relaxing.. It has been very disappointing. The company we bought this tub from has fixed, or has done their best to fix any and all of our problems, however it's not even been paid off and it's been a true headache, it has cause more family drama then ever.

I sometimes feel that this tub had been used and resold... Other times I feel I bought a lemon.

It's not even two years old! Very disgusted.

Review about Master Spas Twilight Series Tub from Cedarburg, Wisconsin

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My favorite spa yet. I bought a twilight 6.2 from a expo show in my local town. I went with the intention of finding a great deal. To my surprise the deals were better then I could imagine. There weren't colors to choose from but I liked the colors they had anyway. I bought the twilight because of the neck and shoulder jets and because of this new filtration system. My salesman was Travis, he did a great job explaining and answering all of our questions. The spa was almost half the amount of the hot springs I was looking at and twice the features. This is our families 3 rd hot tub and our favorite to date. The deliver guys were 10 minutes early, when does that ever happen, and it was smooth as silk. They put it right where we wanted it and gave us some instruction on how to fill. Travis asked us to text him when we were ready to start up our spa. He called us back in about 20 minutes and walked us through the entire process. Very easy BTW. I'm taking the time to post this because the local dealer told me to beware of buying from them, that they don't service. Well I've waited an entire year and this spa is amazing. No issues and since my purchase I went to the local spa dealer to buy some test strips and in an ironic twist his doors are locked and he is no longer in business. I would recommend a master spa and more specifically a twilight spa to anyone who is in the market. So happy.

Proceed with caution

A little over a year with our tub and it's a huge paperweight. We bought the tub on one of their road-shows. I was sitting there with the salesman and his closer looking at all the bad reviews this company had online and I was thinking "what am I doing???"

I should have walked out. But I didn't, I bought the $8,000 spa and waited for delivery. Here I am a little over a year later and I can't get it fixed under the three year warranty. Nobody will tell you this when you buy your spa, but you must go online and register it to start your warranty, so here's your warning... go online and register your spa.

The place I contacted to fix my spa was given to me by Master Spas, and I was treated like dirt. Here's some advice. If you want to buy one of their spas first contact their warranty repair place and ask them if they'll fix it under warranty. Anyway... I call, give them a brief description of the problem along with the code that appears in the display and the repair place says that Master Spa's won't pay them to troubleshoot the problem. But the woman says she'll order the part in hopes of that being the problem. Over a week later and I call back, to see if the part is in. I get passed around by 4 people who have no idea who I am. So tip number two. If you call the warranty repair place, not the day, date, time and the person's name you spoke to.

This is when I find out that I needed to register my spa. When I bought it. You'd think a detail like that would have been communicated to me when I bought it. Nope. My advice to Master Spas is to enroll the spa the day you sell it. I bought it directly from Master Spas on one of their road shows, you'd think I wouldn't have to do something like this.

Here I am, so far three weeks with a cold spa. The factory recommended repair facility now tells me that their two weeks out, which I'm sure they're telling me because they don't want to fix my Master Spa. They give me a number for a repair place that is more than an hour away from my home, in hopes they'll come fix it.

I would recommend do not buy a Master Spa, but like me you'll probably read this bad review and buy one anyway. When it breaks, like mine did, and you can't get it fixed in a reasonable time, remember theses words... Like me, you're an ***, you should have known better, but you did it anyway so quit your whining!

Sad ending

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After talking husband into buying a master twilight 3 person spa its been a sad story. We were not informed of needing a fuse box so when the man came out with the tub we had to pay electrician extra to get one next day.

Which he put it close to spa. Then 4 months later it started leaking. Had to pay for service call which would have been ok if not for the reason being it was a lose fitting. NOT OUR FAULT!

The guy would not return payment. Now I have to sell because the test stripes are special and can only get a store that is almost 2 hours away. No mailing or ordering on line to us either. They wouldn't do that.

So the guy that sold it to us - Shame on you!! And for the leak ,also shame on you. Sadly only got to use it 3 times.

Other than that I loved the make and model. Bought it at the stock show in Fort Worth!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We love our Master Spa hot tub. We purchased the Michael Phelps Legend LS900 series.

It holds heat very well and the massage jets are awesome. The only problem with ours is the built in Radio/Sound System. The remote doesn't work, and it is almost impossible to control on the tub itself. You can't see the station, or even the mode it is on.

We just use it bluetooth with apps like Pandora or I Heart Radio.

The speakers are fine, its the radio part that needs improvement. All in all, the spa has provided us hours of relaxation, just be aware of the sound system issues.

Master Spas's reply to: All these chemicals?

Thank you for your recent post. We’re glad you shared your insight on what was conveyed to you by a salesperson at one of our dealers. The TS 6.2 model spa features a great filtration and water treatment system however Master Spas, Inc. does recommend a maintenance program that features several chemicals in minimal amounts. The standard Eco Pur filters on this spa do have minerals embedded in them which will drastically reduce the maintenance and chemicals needed.
A member of our Customer Care Team will contact you to review our recommendations and please be assured that we will also address this situation with the dealer that you purchased the hot tub through. Thank you for choosing a Master Spa and we look forward to helping you enjoy it!

All these chemicals?

We have just begun to use our Master Spa. Our salesperson said we would use chlorine to set it up only, and it was a "mineral water" spa after that.

Minimal maintenance, no chemicals, no need to bathe after because there's no chlorine... this is why we bought it. Said we'd empty it once a year, change one filter once a year, the other every 18 months. Said the filter would keep it nice and clear, just rinse it off once a month...

None of this was true. Now I'm stuck with a giant bathtub full of chemicals and no idea how to keep it clean. Said the delivery man would explain the chemicals and set up- which he had no idea about. This isn't what we paid for.

Am I disappointed? yes.

But I paid a lot for this, so we'll have to figure it out. I'll never buy at a show again, and definitely not "on the spot".

We purchased our master spa in 2005/2006, legend series. We called numerous times after having experienced problems with our television and speaker system not working.

The customer service was not good. We could find nobody to help us with our issue. The store was located in Laguna Beach california. Half the time they did not answer.

I am located in Bakersfield California. Needless to say, we gave up and our spa is still broken after all of these years. For the price we paid we would have expected much better customer care.

Very disappointed customer. I liked what your spas had to offer, but the service was less than desirable.

I've owned a few other spas and the Master Spa has been the best by far. It has a lot of power , but the jets are adjustable.

It's easy to take care of and it doesn't cost much on the electric bill. The jets are all in the right places. It's quiet and I've had it for over 7 years with no service call. My wife likes the ECOPUR filters that don't require a lot of chlorine.

It takes only about 2 minutes a week to maintain. It's much easier than the other spas we owned.

Thanks for the great relaxing product.

NO customer service. Feel like this was a really bad investment because if it is not working properly there is no one available to repair.

Home office is not concerned or helpful in getting repairs made. Guess once you spend your hard earned money on it they are done! Ours has not been heating for several weeks. Was given name of repairman did not show up when scheduled and then did not return phone calls.

Finally called home office and was told he had retired and they had no one else. We bought ours at the State Fair a few years ago-do not fall for the sales pitch because once you have purchased the company is done!

We love our Spa . The Eco Pur filter system is above all others I have experienced . It keeps our Spa so chemically balanced . I rarely have to do anything other than adding a bit of chlorine and a spa shock after each tub . As far as power consumption goes , I have not hardly noticed a difference in our electrical companies bill . I am very pleased with its performance . Susan… Calgary, Canada

Horrible Customer Service

Master Spas Northern Wisconsin. Ordered a part included picture in email since they were having a hard time finding the part.

I received the part and it was not anything like what I needed. Called for return was told I need to pay for return. Clearly the mistake was made by Master Spas. Why should a customer be out any money for a mistake made within the company.

I wanted to speak to manager in customer service I was told nobody in there just the guy on the phone.

Next day call back same story and I'm responsible to pay shipping for a part that was shipped to me wrong! I will never use this company again.

Master Spas - Hot Tub Review from Severance, Colorado

Local distributor was very push with the sale and lied to me saying the tub I was buying was their last 2014 of that model so i better jump on it, a week after it was delivered the one I " bought" was still in the showroom....very shady and unethical

Poor customer service

Master Spas's reply to: Says its 'dry' when it's not

Thank you for your recent posting. We will be reaching out to a representative from the UK distributors office to contact you. The “dry” message on your control panel means your system is detecting a flow issue or restriction. A few quick suggestions would be to first rest the power to your hot tub. There is the potential for a power fluctuation to affect the control system and similar to a computer, rebooting it may solve the issue. If that doesn’t work, try removing the filters. This would remove any flow restrictions associated with a filter that may need to be cleaned. If the “dry” reading goes away after removing the filters, they should be cleaned and reinstalled.

Please let us know the results by emailing us back at customercare@masterspas.com. Again, we will also be contacting the UK distributor to have them reach out to you as well.

Says its 'dry' when it's not

Spent a fortune trying to get this fixed. But next time I drained and restarted same issue again.

I'd previously emailed Master Spa some years back with a query on several occasions. Butno reply. In addition we were told running costs would be £5 a week by American representative on stand at UK Ideal Homes Exhibition when at the time it was actually nearer £20. Very disappointed and would not buy from Master Spa again.

Will probably have tub removed if I can't get current problem sorted. Shame as when it works it's great although constant hum is not popular with neighbours.

At the time we bought, about 10 years ago it was top of the ranged. It has been properly maintained with correct use of chemicals, regular filter and water changes.
