Pros: Energy efficiency, intelligent control system, great hydrotherapy Cons: Sculptured interior makes it hard to cut the water blanket, no drink holder.
This review is in reference to a 2003 model year Sundance Altamar spa purchased new in November, 2003. This is our second Sundance spa. The first one was a 1995 Calypso II, and if I had to guess, Id say this is the follow-on to that model, which is ...
Pros: Best hydrotherapy spa on the market with jets for those with tender and tough skin. Cons: Indoor installations have to watch for condensed water from cover dripping on floor.
** See bottom for update as of September 29, 2004. An Idea Dawns: The first time I thought about a spa was about 5 years ago. I wanted one really bad because I worked as a medical transcriptionist at home. I worked hard but could not seem to get ...
My wife and I recently acquired a 2001 Caprio ST (230 volt) spa for general relaxation especially after workouts. We had experienced several of our friend’s spas and knew exactly what we wanted in our spa. The Caprio ST is very comfortable with each seat...
Pros: Versatility, quality, size Cons: Large size means less efficiency and more maintenance
I recently purchased a Sundance Maxxus floor model and am very happy with the product and overall experience. The components appear to be made of superior materials and is very well designed. The kids love the extra space... they call it their ...
Pros: Beautiful tub. Cons: Piping is no good. Plastic parts break inside causing tear down
In 5 years of ownership the spa has been torn apart approximately 10 times. The piping all broke apart under the insulation. The jets broke apart. The ozonator has never worked which is ok because the ozonator rots out parts. The seals in the pumps go ...
Pros: Great jets, super low maintenance (Baqua spa, Ozonator)...the list goes on and on Cons: none really (maybe a bit more expensive)
We did a lot of research prior to our purchase. We found the same info everywhere. Sundance is a bit more, but it's worth it. Great quality, no moving parts, better filter, wonderful looking. All have proven true!!! We have owned our Altamar about ...
Pros: Unbelievably Comfortable Cons: Some Factory problems that should be fixed easily by technicians while on warranty
I bought this spa after long studies of the best product available and after reading good and bad things about Sundance. I bought my spa about 5 years ago and am very happy as I have gotten my money out of it as far as I am concerned. I had the "flow" ...
Pros: Powerful jets, comfortable lounger, and easy to maintain. Good dealer service. Cons: No bottom drain.
The Sundance Altamar is an excellent spa. The seating is very comfortable and the layout allows you to move easily from one seat to another. The jets have plenty of power and are easily adjusted. The control is easy to use and retains its settings...
Pros: Comfortable and affordable. Cons: Distance to closest dealer.
After having looked around at the different spas on the market for 2 months, I chose a Sundance Altamar spa. I did all of the research on-line. After I narrowed down the search to the top 3, I went to each of the dealers showrooms. Sundance was the...
Pros: Comfortable;good jet pressure Cons: Lots of leaks;lack of good service
If only I'd known this was here before we bought one! We've
had our Altamar for just under 2 years and so far have had
both pumps replaced due to leaks and there is still a leak
somewhere. We live in a poor service area and it's been
...
Pros: None to speak of. Cons: Poor quality and maintainability
This spa has NOT lived up to expectations. After the warranty expired we noticed the spa started leaking. The spa was raised onto blocks to assess the problem. The spa is of a foam-filled construction where foam encases the shell and plumbing. The ...
Pros: As a woman, I found few spas that I felt were designed for me. Cons: I feel guilty being so good to myself.
The concept of a spa always appealed to me as I found it helped me relax after a hard day and was especially good at helping me sleep soundly. But the cement spas were uncomfortable and other big spas were too deep for me (I'm 5'4") I knew somewhere...
Pros: Nicely sized for tall people like myself and husband (5'10", 6'4"). Cons: Leaks like a sieve!
Unfortunately, this spa (which we purchased new in 1996) started leaking within three years. While it was still under warranty, the service guys were never able to stop all the leaks. We were informed by the dealer that the 1995 Maxxus had been recalled...
Pros: microfilter works very well for a little while. over all quiet. strong jets Cons: pump can't keep up with the microfilter in normal use.
Had it two years. The little circulating pump can't keep up with the microfilter and burns out quickly. First it gets loud, then eventually stops pumping and the coil burns out (electrical hum and the pump housing is super hot). Replaced the pump four ...
Pros: Comfortable, energy efficient for it's size Cons: Should be considered as a disposable item after a couple years. It doesn't hold up.
Even though likr most people who write these reviews say, "I had to replace the main circuit board under waranty", I thought I had a pretty darn good tub for about $7000. That was until the motors began to fail, and the leaks started. The 24 hour pump, ...
