Lifesmart LS600DX 7-Person 65-Jet 230v Spa with 14-Jet Nozzle Turbo Blaster

I bought this after pricing similar hot tubs at my local dealers at about twice the price. This tub isn't quite as refined as the one's from the local dealer but it does have all the same features. I ordered it on a Monday and it was delivered the following week on Tuesday, I'm in Idaho and I expected it to take longer than that. It was quite a bit lighter than I expected although it seems solidly built. I was able to move it from the driveway to my backyard by sliding the pallet with just my wife and I, although an extra person would have been helpful. It wired up easily and there was no damage from shipping. The setup instructions were clear and included plenty of pictures. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. Everything works like it should. The listing isn't clear but it does have the "waterfall" and multi-color LED lights. There have been no leaks. You can only run about 1/2 the jets at a time, there is a valve to select which ones are running, but you can't run all of them at the same time. They are plenty powerful though. With the pump on high the big jets start to push you out of the seat! The listing says that the cabinet is Mahogany. It's not actually wood but a mahogany colored Polymer product kind of like Trex decking. I like it actually. I have had a couple of used tubs in the past that gave me fits so I decided to buy new this time and this was by far the best price I could find. I bought the 3 year extended warranty but after reading through it I realized that the manufacturer's warranty pretty much covers all the same stuff so I wouldn't recommend spending the extra money for the sam's club warranty. Bottom line is that I would recommend this tub. We have been using it every day and my wife and kids love it and I have nothing negative to say about it so far.

I ordered the Lifesmart LS600DX spa in early June 2024 and I was notified by Sams Club a few days before the July 4 holiday that it was enroute.The parent corp of Lifesmart is Watkins Manufacturing, one of the biggest names in the spa industry. The shipping company that Watkins uses stinks and the shipping company's dispatch people were surly & unhelpful. BUT the driver showed up right on time and he & I unloaded the spa quickly & easily using their lift-gate. A few friends from work showed up and we used four 5ft pieces of 4" ID PVC pipe to act as rollers to move the spa into the backyard - I got the PVC pipe roller idea from previous helpful reviews on here - thank you!. The spa was heavily saran-wrapped in an upright position and stood on a long, flimsy wood pallet. Instead of moving it as-is vertically, we unwrapped the entire package and put the spa cover aside. THen we laid the spa down flat on top of a sheet of plywood laid on top of the four pipes and began rolling it thru my fence's wide boat-gate. I'd say the entire process took less than 30 minutes. We moved the spa into position onto a 9" thick reinforced concrete pad that I had a contractor make for me. THe 230v was already run out to the pad as I'd previously had it as service for two Cal-Spas I'd had consecutively. We moved the spa into position, I filled it with water and with the GFCI breaker off, I hooked up the wires to the spa pack inside the cabinet. I turned the power to ON and the spa fired right up, no problems. I gotta say that I was VERY impressed with Watkins's quality. Everything was well laid-out, easy to access. In contrast, the innards of the two CalSpas were cramped and poorly designed. PROS & CONS *tremendous value for not much money *construction is rotomolded, like a YETI cooler. That means ZERO wood in the construction that can rot, get eaten by termites, etc. *the rotomolded surface is not slick-smooth like an acrylic spa. That's a plus on the safety side, preventing slips & falls. * controls are easy to use, easy to program *for a single pump, it has very strong jets that can be adjusted by zone and air intake. *so far,,the only glitch was when I just this week in mid-September 2024 emptied the tub for it's quarterly draining, cleanout and refill. When I refilled the tub and turned the breaker back on, I could hear the motor running but no bubbles or water came out of the jets. But I came up with a simple solution - I assessed the problem as being an airlock. So I removed the filter, took the spray nozzle off my garden hose and shoved the hose full-blast all the way down into the pipe at the bottom of the filter area. Then I switched the power on. At first there were a couple bubbles from a few jets but in less than a minute there were more bubbles and then WHOOSH the jets were at full blast. Nothing was clogging it. It was simple airlock. If my trick hadn't worked I was fixing to call Customer Service. THey should include my hose trick in their troubleshooting section of the manual. Call it a Spa Enema or whatever, but it worked. *BUY THIS SPA - it's the fourth one Ive had. I have had a Dimension One, two Cal Spas and this is the best value by far. Dimension One is good too.
