Ultra Life Shell Cracking

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have a 20 year old Lotus Bay D1 spa and it's my second D1, the first sold with the last house. Anyway I noticed cracks in the shell and the owner told me he replaced a spa under warranty due to a crack. When I contacted D1 they had me call service and I emailed them pictures. From there I was told I could ship the spa to CA (headquarters) at my expense, pay $450 for a tech to come out and fix or I could go down to the store and they would show me how to patch it, to save money. So the lifetime warranty actually costs you money, remember that.

Leaking fittings at heater

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I want to replace the leaking gaskets at the heater but my spa has no shutoff valves. I don't want to drain the water. Where are the valves?

Preferred solution: how to isolate the heater for repair of leaks in the absence of shut-off valves

you might have an @home model, these don't come with Slice valves to service the heater, unless you had upgraded to have them when originally ordered the spa. you must drain it. Rusty

Sold me a defective hot tub

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review May 23, 2023

I bought my hot tub last year. Paid cash was my first mistake.

12500, dimension one did not deliver to the seller for 2 months. After it was hooked up the lights started falling off of it into the tub. The lights stopped working. Called dimension one they said there has been a problem at the factory with over fighting the screws.

Took a tech 2 months to come out and replace them and the lights. The following week the other set of lights stopped working. Called again and was told they would call me back. That was 3 months ago.

Yesterday morning all the water has drain out of my hot tub and it won't cut on. Called the seller and they said my tub was never registered under warranty. This is the absolute worst investment I have ever purchased. Brand New hot tub that doesn't work and no one can come fix.

Unfortunately, I believe legal action will have to be taken. Do not do business with this company.oh and the company that sold me the hot tub, whiten pools no longer will sell their hot tubs just to let you know how *** deminsion one spas are.

M-drive upper control panel failure,5th time.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Dimension One Spas - M-drive upper control panel failure,5th time.

We have a Amore Bay dimension 1 hot tub up in Canada and the screen has faded out and cant read the settings.The control has a 2year warranty and failed every time after the timeline.We had a service tech replace it with the latest and it also fails the same.His solution to the problem is to move the control to the outside of the front of the tub so its not exposed to all the heat and steam under the cover.We only use the tub maybe 10 times a year and we let it run all year round.The control is like brand new looking and the place where we bought the tub from will not warranty this part that keeps failing.Not impressed.

Was so excited for tub....now not at all

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

I know 'things' happen. I purchased a brand new dream spa.

Delivered, set up well, was told to turn on pump when filled...this was on a Tuesday afternoon. Pump was fine til it turned off like normal after 30 minutes, then would not come on again. Four days later, need to order a new pump. Was told it was expedited on that Friday.

Today, the following Thursday, find out that it didnt not go out til that Monday and wont arrive to dealership til thus next Monday. First off, I do not like a liar!!

Secondly, fedex has a 2 day delivery. After posting your annual revenue, surely you would pay for faster shipping, and care about customer service.

very hard to get service on a new spa from vista store.

I have not recieved a response

I ordered a Hot Tub in April from a vendor. Then I found out that they were not manufacturing. I called 3 numbers on their Web Site and Yellow pages. All three numbers just dropped my call. I put $ 4700 down with the other 50% on delivery

Company wont back it warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I noticed blistering that was occurring on the floor of the hot tub and sent an email to Daniel Lamadrid . He told me he could tell from my pictures it was from chemicals on the floor and it caused discoloration. (The discoloration was because we have rusty pipes.) That was in the spring. Fast forward to now the tub is losing water and rotting my deck from the continual disintegration of the shell.

We bought our spa in 03 and besides the replacement of the control panel ( my fault ) , replacing a jet or two , this tub has run 24/7 . Now in 2018 it needs a few repairs that are more than I want to spend on an old tub . Today a NEW Chairman is arriving . Dimension One spas are great . I recommend them to anyone looking for a quality spa .

My Aurora II spa has been pretty good, for the most part...

Dimension One Spas - My Aurora II spa has been pretty good, for the most part...
Dimension One Spas - My Aurora II spa has been pretty good, for the most part... - Image 2

My Aurora II is a 2001 model and, for the most part, is still going strong in 2018! Of course, during its lifetime, my D1 has been plagued by the dreaded topside controller issue (gradual LED total fade-out).

At best, they have only lasted 2-3 years, on average, and I'm now on my fifth or sixth controller panel (at $350 a pop, bought online and self-installed!). Otherwise, the only other parts failure I've had over the years has been a $20 sensor (replacement also bought online and I repaired myself). My biggest current problem is with multiple tub leaks, which have been caused by clamps and deteriorated seals around the air bleeder valves - to be expected over two decades of use. Leak repairs necessitated opening the sides up and tearing out lots of insulating foam to trace the sources of leaks, which was a MAJOR pain.

Last, there's the also to be expected normal wear and tear associated with foam headrest deterioration and replacement, many times; lots of brittle plastic jets, bottom drain screens, and filter guides (chemicals kill them) replaced, and numerous replacement top covers at HUNDREDS of dollars each. There have also been several loose connection issues on the main system microprocessor control and relay board (due to constant heating and cooling expansion and contraction), which I have been able to, troubleshoot, locate and repair, but the pumps, heater, and other main components have actually held up nicely. Bottom line - the Aurora II was not, by any means, cheap to buy, own, maintain, and repair, but it has been very enjoyable to be able to use for nearly two decades. It has come at a very steep cost in electronic parts, consumables, and my personal time and labor to troubleshoot and repair it.

Professional spa service calls and repairs labor with marked up parts would have cost a fortune, and would have resulted in a scrapped D1 spa MANY years ago. There's my two cents worth!

Hi, Where were the leaks found and what's needed to repair?I have the exact tub and would prefer to avoid tearing apart the insulation any more than needed. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Sincerely, Brian

Dude I feel your pain. Been doing the same with my Saratoga Canfield.

I feel its time for new and found the D1 series.

I'm older now and less prone to lifting this thing anymore to facilitate repairs.Your review was extremely helpful. ThanksI will keep looking

Three weeks out of warranty.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Do not buy this spa. We were just three weeks out of warranty and Demension told me they would cover me then changed their mind after they heard I was the second owner. $1200 for the whole lower unit after just 2 years . You would think they would be interested in good reviews and service .

You said it yourself, "... out of warranty".

But then I've noticed over the last 30-40 years, that this has become the American way. Looking for something for nothing, or manipulating a situation to get someone else to pay YOUR bills.

An entitlement, as personal responsibility is a thing of the past. Just an observation based on about 50 years experience watch the degradation and ongoing liberalization of oir society in general.

Dimension One Triad II issues

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

I purchased a Dimension One Triad II Spa at the recommendation of my local pool and spa store. Well, here's the list-All new top side controls, 3 circulation pumps, 7 ozone generators, 2 motherboards, 2 main pumps, all jets replaced 3 TIMES, heater replaced twice, solonoids ALL replaced, and I can't remember everything else .

It's a 3 personal spa, and I paid over $8,000 for it. Dimension One won't do a thing. I have probably over $15,000 invested in this POS!

It was supposed to be the best spa available-period. NOT!!!!

As a represenative of Dimension One Spas, this information is really had to believe as we have never had to do any type of work like this on any spa in 40 years.

- We just launched the new Top Side on the Triad only 30 to 45 days ago, how can you have multiple replacements?

-How could you purchase in May and by June have three circulation pumps?

- There is no way in two months you could have 7 ozone units

- Two motherboards?

- 2 Main Pumps? The spa is only a ONE PUMP SYSTEM.

- All Jets Replaced, we have never had to do this. - We have NEVER replaced a Fast Flo Heater twice in a month and a half, this is a patented item.

Please contact me personally with a Serial Number on the spa so that I can investigate this and help you in any way possible. 810-523-5481 Robert

UPDATE on Atascadero Meridian

Turns our the issue with my 2016 Meridian constantly tripping the circuit breaker is/was due to faulty #1 pump. Now that it's been replaced [under warranty], I've had no further occurrences of circuit breaker being tripped. >8-) Turns our the issue with my 2016 Meridian constantly tripping the circuit breaker is/was due to faulty #1 pump.
