The most important decision in purchasing a swim spa is choosing where you buy it. I have had several models over the last 20 years. They are all wonderful ,but, are problem prone. Every year without fail at least one repair is needed. I have had 3 control panels fail at considerable cost. Fortunately, the spa was under warranty each time. A three year warranty is typical when you purchase. Keep in mind the warranty is only as good as the vendor you purchase from. I have always purchased from a company that has been in business for more than 20 years and their repair department is quick and efficient. A friend purchased from a new company because she saved several hundred dollars but they were out of business the first time she needed a repair several years later. She had a terrible time finding a company that would do her repair work. I have the largest swim spa on the market. It's cost was just over 21 thousand which included installation and warranty. Chemical costs are very low compared to a pool.
