Welcome to Master Spas Opinions

Problem:

· My new tub had a slow leak.

· I called warranty, said there was a $108 “Trip Charge”.

· I called Master spa and asked if this was true, and yes it is, you cover parts and labor while someone is there.

· Your tech told me I should fix it myself, and lube the O-Ring, after I take the sides off.

· He said to use the “Slice” valve so only to lose a little water.

What’s happened:

· Where the fitting was leaking the slice valve didn’t work and dumped 500 gallons into the motor compartment

· After taking the fitting off, there was no “O”-Ring the whole time.

· I bought a $7.00 ring from Leslies pool supply

· Yes, it’s fixed

· The problem is, I would have paid $108 for something that was caused by your manufacturing.

Now:

· I notice the plastic cover is coming off the digital display, is that warranty? And $108 ?

The Incorrect lift for our spa cover was installed on our Spa in November. At first the lift was not available.

Then the replacement sides were "on the truck". Here it is 5 months later and we still do not have the correct cover lift.

Very difficult delivery, pad and electrical installation.

Received very little, maybe no, instruction on how to operate the spa.

Found out it was a floor model, salesman was deceptive on the issue. Thought because I was shelling out a large sum of money, I was getting a new product. I was wrong.

Power switch does not work. Screws around skirting are rusted. Skirting does not fit. The spa was deceived a month ago, these things should not be happening.

Wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone due to very poor customer service. Go with endless pools

pad works but you cannot see any icons.pushing in the dark.spa is 6 months old but i bought the house with the spa.any chance of getting a discount on a new touch pad.spa repair guy said these are new style and have their bugs.spa is a twilight model 8000.i think part no. is x279-625.sn in 181****.thanks.dave schoen.hodamnho@***.com

Master Spas claims they are not responsible for dishonored promises made by sales staff at show because they are 3rd party vendors yet the invoices the sales staff provide list the same address as Master Spas. Master Spas explained to me that it is the same as Best Buy selling Sony products.

No, it is not, Best Buy doesn't lead their customers into believing they are Sony. At the show, this vendor sold only Masrer Spa products and the address listed on their invoice is that of Master Spas.

Purchased spa at Spa and Swimspa Show, S.D. promised free delivery and 2nd placement due to their insistence of next day delivery.

They refused to honor no cost 2nd placement. Spa sits 10 feet from where it is supposed to (pad).

I purchased Master twilight 8.25 series from local dealer and sales reps from Master Spa at sales expo. We have been wanting a tub for a long time. I was impressed with the quality of the shell and components after researching and checking reviews. Took delivery mid November 2017. Delivery process was disappointing and could have been more careful driving truck in yard.

None the less I was extremely happy to finally get the tub in and since there wasn't any set up service available for several weeks, I did it myself.

My wife and I use it around 1-2 times per week. The power of the jets for therapy is amazing, keeping it clean is easier is then I imagined. Very happy to this point.

First real problem was the tub kept turning off and tripping the breaker.

Atlanta Spa came out and replaced the heater saying that caused the breaker to trip.

A few weeks later and the first time we had 6 people in the tub after around 40 minutes when some of us smelt something electrical burning. I noticed that one of the pumps slowed a little and without to much thought left the tub and turned off pump 2. We later found out the # 2 pump was bad and would make a grinding sound and strained to start up.

This was one week before Christmas and still thinking there was plenty of time to get it repaired because of family coming in that wanted to get have use of the tub. Dealer told me they do not stock motors and would have to get one shipped from the factory but the holidays would be a problem because Master Spa shuts down from Christmas to new year.

We finally got the replacement pump installed on January 11th. We didn't use the tub the entire time.

The repairman left me without hooking speakers back up and with a vapor lock after filling. I hadn't experienced that before. They didn't offer to come back and help just instructions over the phone that didn't help. So I figured out how to bleed the system after filling it up, connected the lights, and turned pump on only to notice a leak from main seal on the side of the motor they just replaced. I also noticed the bottom mounting plate was bent and immediately thought it may have been dropped and could of been the cause of leak. Also noticed the motor housing was smaller then pump 1 and didn't have the same Balboa name plate.

They assured me that it was original equipment from the factory.

They came back a week later to replace with another motor "from the factory". This time no damage but again the motor didn't say Balboa. Again left me to refill the tub and with same vapor lock. I called Mater Spa customer service for help and to share my experience while they looked up my serial number to confirm what was going on. They suggested that I call a different service provider saying I could go to a spa service company to for handle warranty obligations,which I did not know.

They also said there was a claim submitted for a heater but no claims on motors leading me to believe I have been lied to and now questioning the motor not being original factory equipment. The motor does not move as much water and makes more noise.

Please let me know what my next step should be?
