Pros
- Pros High Energy Efficiency: Unlike many budget tubs that use partial foam, the Relay uses FiberCorยฎ insulation, which is four times denser than standard foam and eliminates thermal voids. Silent Filtration: Includes the SilentFlo 5000โข circulation pump, which filters water 24/7 using less energy than a 40-watt light bulb and operates almost silently. Advanced Water Care Options: It is one of the few value-tier tubs compatible with the FreshWaterยฎ Salt System, which can keep water clean for up to a year with minimal chemical maintenance. Proven Durability: Built by Watkins Wellness, the Relay is designed for a 15โ20 year lifespan, significantly longer than "big box" store alternatives. Spacious 6-Adult Layout: Features a dedicated lounge seat and an open seating area that accommodates larger families comfortably
Cons
- Cons Basic Jet Technology: While it has 40 jets, they are standard directional jets. It lacks the patented Moto-Massageยฎ DX (moving jets) found in the flagship Highlifeยฎ Collection. No Touchscreen Controls: The Relay uses a standard button-based control panel. Modern touchscreen and wireless remote options are reserved for the Limelightยฎ and Highlife series. Shorter Warranty: Typically comes with a 2-year parts and labour warranty, whereas premium collections often offer 5 years of coverage. Design Aesthetics: The cabinet and shell designs are more traditional. If you want a more modern, "architectural" look with exterior corner lighting, you would need to step up to the Limelight collection.
