Regarding Covers:

All Royal spas come with a lifter bar, which makes it much easier to open and close the cover. It is unbelievable that a person would buy a hot tub to make their back feel better, and then wrestle with the cover trying to put it back on the spa, hurting their back even more. The biggest complaint that people have about their hot tub is that it is too hard to put their cover back on. Our lifter bar allows someone to open and close the cover with one hand.

Regarding Maintenance:

There are competitors that tell you it takes 15 minutes a week to maintain your hot tub. That is unbelievable! If you figured 15 minutes of maintenance a week for 52 weeks, that’s 12 hours a year! If you spent 12 hours of maintance a year on your car, you’d get rid of your car. How is it possible that you would agree to put in 12 hours of maintenance on your hot tub when it’s much less important than your car? You would never tolerate that from your car.

Regarding Maintenance Expenses:

When you look at the cost of operating a hot tub, competitors are trying to get you for $15.00 a month in chemicals. Fifteen dollars a month times 12 months is $180.00 per year! Some people spend as little as $30 per year. When you look at the cost of the filters, Royal Spa filters are available at Lowe’s, Menard’s and Home Depot, where the competitor’s filters are only available from them. Our filters will cost $33.00 every 2 years. Our competitors filters will be at least $150 every year to maintain, and replace. 

Regarding the Electric Control system:

Other brand control systems can be as much as $1100 to replace. On average these electronic control systems die every five years. If you divided 5 years into a $1000, you would spend $200 a year to maintain those control system. So if you add $200 to maintain their control system, $150 for the filters, and $250 for chemicals, you are spending $600 a year to maintain your hot tub! When you look at a Royal Spa, you will only be paying thirty-five dollars a year for the same type of services, chemicals and filters. If you look at $35 from 600 that’s $565 a year difference which is 5500 or 6000 over a 10-year period on time.

Regarding Operational Costs:

When you look a Royal Spas costing only $4.75 a month to circulate the spa, and theirs costing as much as $35.00 per mouth on rural electric rates, it will cost you $5206.00 more to circulate the water in their hot tub. Now they will tell you that they turn the spa off for half the day in order to keep from spending that much money to circulate the water. By turning the tub off, it stagnates the water, which makes the water yucky. Stagnating water requires more chemicals to maintain it. When you fall behind in the chemical maintance your wife will not use the spa. When you try to catch up with your chemicals maintance by over dosing the tub with chemicals, your wife won’t use it either.

Tubs that turn off during the day and don’t circulate are engineered WRONG. 

Regarding Filtration:

There is no water that you drink on earth that is filtered by sucking it through the filter. NOT ONE DROP. So using a spa that sucks the water through the filter is wrong. There is absolutely no other conclusion to draw. When you suck through a filter, as the filter gets dirty it blocks the water from the pump

The pump cannot push water it can’t get. The performance of the hot tub drops off to nothing and you clean your filter. When you clean your filter every week and you do your chemicals every week, THEY OWN YOU. That’s how they make their money. Our competitors make money by selling filters and chemicals, and services. They do not build a spa that is cheap and easy to own.

They build a spa that is cheap and easy to make. The difference in operating cost between theirs and ours is that you could have bought two of our hot tubs for what it cost to own one of theirs over 15 years.

Regarding Pumps:

When you put a two-speed pump on a hot tub, it is about $125 less expensive then adding a separate circulating pump like Royal Spa has. At low speed, the vibrational frequency that a pump operates on is the same frequency that wood vibrates at. It you have ever heard of a sounding board, that’s what your deck becomes when it has a hot tub setting on it. Royal Spas do not vibrate at 1728 cycles per minute. If they did, every neighbor around would not only be able to hear your hot tub hum, or they will hear everything you say when you are in the hot tub speaking above the vibration. You are buying comfort, relaxation and privacy. If you buy a hot tub with a 2-speed pump on it, you will spend 6 times more on your utilities. With a two-speed pump, you will not have any privacy because your neighbors will know what you’re talking about at night.

Regarding Computers on Spas:

THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN FIX THE CIRCUIT BOARD IN A COMPUTER ON HOT TUBS! The circuit boards are between $800 and$1100. When you look at the cost of replacing them IT IS ABSURD! The Royal Spa control system has two nine-dollar contactors, and three six-dollar switches that do exactly what their $1100 motherboard does. There is nothing on a hot tub that requires a microprocessor. You would never by a computer without buying a nine-dollar surge suppresser. That little device that sits behind your computer with all the plugs plugged into it, is a surge suppressor that keeps lighting strikes and voltage surges from blowing up your computer investment. You are about to let the bad guy put a computer on to a hot tub. A surge protector cannot protect the hot tubs computer as a hot tub draws more power then a surge protector can handle. You are violating the most obvious common sense rule about owning a computer by not putting it on a surge suppressor for the computer on your hot tub. With regards to the warranty on the spa computer, most people will think that its OK as it has a five-year warranty. Most insurance companies view a lighting strike that blows up the hot tub computer as an act of GOD, not a manufactures defect. It could happen only six weeks after you’ve bought your $10,000 hot tub, and it will not be covered by the warranty. They will tell you GOD did it, not a defect of manufacturing. That would probably make you angry. The thing that makes us most angry about that theory is that a 19 yr old boy will be sent out to fix your hot tub. He will take your motherboard out of the box and put another board into it. All of the wires would have been unplugged to do this. And, all the wires look the same. When he plugs the wrong plug back into the wrong hole and he turns that spa back on, you will blow that board again. Knowing what you know about 19-year-old boys, will he admit that he did it?? No he won’t! So he will go back to the office and sit down at the desk reading a magazine and you’ll call in an say HEY!! MY HOT TUB STILL DOSENT WORK. And the boy will say there must have been another voltage surge or lighting strike, so we will have to get another board. So now your $2200 away from having a working spa. WHAT IS THE CHANCE OF YOU BEING HAPPY??? Zero! Computers on hot tubs are wrong!

Regarding companies that compete with ROYAL SPA CORPORATION:

They are buying a box in California and putting it on a truck and dragging it across the United States of America. They used to profit approximately $3000 on each hot tub, now with fuel rates its $2000 for shipping cost. They only have a $1000 profit left. You go in and haggle him out of $5800 dollars of his profit. Do you think he’s going sell you a product that that cost him $7000 and only make $200 on it? NO WAY! That business is set up to sell you chemicals and filters and services, to the tune of $500 to $600 a year, that’s where the money is in it for him. At Royal Spa we sell hot tubs. We will save you thousands and thousands of dollars to own and operate your spa. Our goal is to make it such a good experience owning a Royal Spa, that you tell your friends about us.

Regarding Insulation on hot tubs:

In general all hot tubs are thermally efficient. The best thing you can do when insulating a hot tub is use a good cover. Royal Spa uses the best cover in the industry. As the covers gets older or weathered from chemicals, they can in some cases fill with water and get heavier. In the winter the cover will shrink and in the summer when its hot it will expand, causing the corners of the tub to turn up and let steam excape out of the spa.

Regarding Foam Insulation:

You should never let anyone use the foam insulation that fills the cabinet. If you do so, additional jets can never be added to the spa in the future. We find this truly unacceptable. The reason that we use removable insulation in our hot tubs is that the advantage of having the opportunity to install additional jets in the future, when you therapeutic needs have changed. Its easy, the side panel comes off, the pillow is removed, and the jet is installed. All of which is done by using piping that is already underneath the spa. We are in and out in less than a half hour. In the event that you have a therapeutic change with any on our competitors spas, you have to by a brand new spa because its not practical to dig through the foam and find the plumbing. We build a hot tub for you that will outlast you, and still accommodate your needs, even as those needs change in the future. The average price to fix a jet that is foamed is $1600
