So what makes a fantasy Spa so affordable? They are made from a rotational mold (roto-mold) process. Reducing the manufacturing time and materials, translating into good value and great price.
What is "roto-mold"?
Process: Using high temperatures, plastic parts are formed with the help of biaxial rotation to produce a solid (yet hollow) super strong container, compared to regular injection molding.
Rotational molding is a versatile and time proven method for Many different and durable products from sea going kayaks and life boats to hot tubs.
Though the industry has been around for over 70 years, new manufacturing techniques have really launch its possibilities in the last 20 years. A true 21st century product, roto-mold is considerably more cost effective than traditional acrylic manufacturing used in most hot tub manufacturing.
Even though Acrylic continues to be "king", roto mold is a proven alternative that has a good foot hold in the spa industry and a nearly un-blemished 10 year track record of customer satisfaction.
Modern computerized manufacturing techniques employed by companies like Watkins' AHS (American Hydro Spas) division insure the plastics are evenly distributed and strengthened guaranteeing years of flawless beauty and use.
The process of Roto-Molding does limit the size of the spa but the light weight of the finished units and their increase portability more than compensate the buyer looking for a good first spa or the extra cottage spa. But don't think these are just for the fair weather user. Roto mold spas like the Fantasy spa collection can and are being used year round, world wide!

Fantasy Spas also offer a dual speed therapy system so you can soak while being gently massaged, or increase the power for a more vigorous deep-tissue massage.
The control systems are by Balboa and Gecko and are the same tried and true control packages use many more expensive spas (that will still be trying to convince you to pay more ... for their less).
When you do pay more:
If you do want more or you need more, the roto-mold spa is a good launch pad to compare your next step to. If you pay more for a hot tub should get more than just more jets or bigger pumps. Look for increasing warranty coverage, control systems that provide more control, engineered filtration packages, "designer looks", unique jetting, Health Canada approved water management and sanitation systems (such as HotSpring's ACE saltwater system)...
