We have the Vanguard Hot Springs Spa and we LOVE it!!! After a long day we take pleasure soaking our sore muscles before bedtime. We have used other spas before but nothing compares to the enjoyment we have from our Hot Springs. We use the Silk Balance and when you are in the tub the water is so soft and our skin feels so good after each use. We highly recommend it!! We love everything about our spa. The maintenance is so easy and each time we go to our local dealer we are treated with exceptional care. All smiles, Dave and Peggy Seattle, WA
