Pros
- Pros Superior Hydrotherapy: The patented Moto-Massage DX jets are a standout feature, providing a unique "sweeping" massage that covers the entire back rather than just stationary points. Low Operating Costs: It is highly energy-efficient due to full-foam insulation and a dedicated SilentFlo 5000 circulation pump that keeps water moving quietly without the main jets needing to run. Exceptional Water Clarity: The 100% no-bypass filtration system ensures every drop of water passes through the filters before reaching the jets, even when they are on full power. User-Friendly Features: The wireless touchscreen control panel allows you to adjust settings from anywhere in the tub, and the BellaFontana water feature adds significant visual appeal. FreshWater Salt System: When balanced correctly, this system makes the water feel softer on the skin and significantly reduces the typical "chlorine smell".
Cons
- Cons High Initial Cost: At £20,000–£24,000, it is one of the most expensive 7-seater models on the market. Expensive Repairs: Because it uses many proprietary parts (like the Moto-Massage jets and wireless remote), replacement parts outside of warranty can be much costlier than generic alternatives. Repair Difficulty: The full-foam insulation, while great for efficiency, is difficult and time-consuming to "dig out" if you need to locate and fix a leak deep in the plumbing. Salt System Learning Curve: While the salt system simplifies daily use, it requires careful initial balancing and expensive salt cell replacements every few years. Neglecting water chemistry can also lead to corrosion of internal components over time. Foot/Leg Jets: Some users find the leg jets to be slightly weaker compared to models with dedicated loungers, and shorter users may struggle to reach the foot jets from certain seats.
About This Model
The HotSpring Grandee is the largest model in the premium Highlife Collection, designed to seat up to seven adults comfortably. It is often referred to as a "crowd-pleaser" due to its spacious, open-seated layout and varying seat depths that accommodate both shorter and taller users.
