    Price check on an OEM T-CELL-15

    Help me pick a decking material!

    Inground fiberglass spa anyone with any history of them?

    We installed an inground (18” above) fiberglass spillover spa made by Alps. So far we really like it. The seats in the spa vary different depth so you can find the perfect place to sit and the spa jetswork well. It is plumbed to have a separate jet pump from the chlorine/filter/heater pump.
