How long have these been around?
We have been manufacturing Softubs since 1987 and some of our first tubs are still in customer's backyards.
Where are they made?
We have two manufacturing plants. Our west coast plant is in Valencia, California, outside of Los Angeles,
and our east coast plant is in New Bedford, Massachusetts, outside of Boston. We also have service facilities
all over the United States if you need help.
What are they made of, are they inflatable?
No, they are not inflatable. They are made of space-age, high-density foam that is extremely strong yet
lightweight. That means you will be able to move the tub inside or outside without any help.
Do they go inside or outside?
Because they are made so tough and lightweight they can go anywhere but the vast majority of Softubs are
used outside.
How long will they last?
Talk about peace of mind, we have many Softub spas still in operation after over 15 years of service.
How well does the vinyl hold up outside?
The vinyl is a marine grade vinyl that is designed to withstand the harshest climates and sun.
That means with care you can expect to get many years of service.
How much does it cost to operate?
Softubs are easy on the pocketbook. The average cost to operate a Softub spa outside nationwide is between
$6 and $10 per month.
How does it heat with no heater?
We use a revolutionary heat recovery system which uses the heat created by the pump motor.
What that means to you is operating costs that are a fraction of the cost of a hard tub, a reduction
of service problems, and extension of the life of the motor by keeping it cool.
How hot does it get?
Our thermostat can be set as high as 104 degrees Fehrenheit, the same as all hot tubs. No matter
what temperature you select it's ready for you when you are ready to relax.
How do you treat the water?
We include a water treatment kit with every Softub spa that fully explains the treatment process.
To make maintenance as simple as possible we also have a patented, fully automatic, ozone injection
system that significantly reduces the amount of chemicals needed to keep your tub clean and sanitary.
That means less time and less money out of your pocket to keep your tub sparkling clean.
How much do they weigh when full of water?
A 220 gallon Softub spa weighs 1972 pounds including the pak, lid and tub. Check with your builder but most
new decks can easily support a Softub spa and a few of your friends.
What kind of preparation is required to install a Softub Spa?
The great news is all you need is a level surface and an electric outlet. The Softub spa is the go
anywhere hot tub, unlike hard tubs which required a concrete pad or reinforced platform to support their
heavy weight.
Will I need an electrician or plumber to hook it up?
No, although almost all hard tubs do require expensive electrical work to install, the Softub spa is
designed for anyone to install themselves and they plug into a standard 115 volt outlet. With our Smart
Chip ® we take the worry out of any power surges or brown outs.
