Hot Tub Review #1 Beachcomber

Beachcomber is a canadian hot tub company located in bc.
Buying local hot tubs is always a good option when choosing the hot tub you want,
these hot tubs function well and have a stylish design. Beachcomber also has some unique design features that can be both pros and cons.
Pros:
- All hot tub equipment kept under a removable step at the front of the tub for easy service.
- Stylish design
- Very reliable
- Newer tubs have good quality equipment (pumps and electronics)
- Much variety of size and seating arrangements between models.
- Full foam (great insulation)
Cons: 
- High price point
- Cabinet is non accessible (side panels not removable for plumbing repairs)
- Full foam coupled with non removable cabinets (repairs on plumbing very difficult, time consuming, and expensive)
- Drain connector: not sure whats going on with these they have a bad tendency to fall off and drain the tubs after a few years seems to be an exclusively beachcomber problem.
- Leak detection is near impossible if its inside the cabinet, (tub must be lifted on jacks and filled, tech must find the leaks by digging up)

With all that said i give beachcomber 6 hot tubs out of 10
they are great tubs for many years, their pumps tend to function longer than others, and the equipment has great ease of serviceability, but it can be difficult to cost effectively repair the internal plumbing, and when dealing with hot tubs and water that can be a damning issue.
Great for any one looking for a no fuss tub that will work great for what in my opinion is a 7-10 year service life, assuming good water chemistry without too much service work required.
