don't bother

don't waste your money or time on this. it is made in shanghai and the warranty is a joke. i got it three weeks ago and the thermostat never worked right on it. the water does not heat up. i would avoid it just for the warranty alone. i am out of [...] bucks now!More detail ...

Great spa for the money

Delivery was much sooner than estimated. Helpful driver delivered spa to garage instead of at end of driveway. Shipping weight of 355 pounds included an 8' x 5' wooden pallet. I managed to move the spa on its pallet to its location by myself using only a hand-dolley but would recommend others to have at least two to tackle this move. Spa comes with GFCI protection built into the spa's electrical plug. Spa is actually one of FreeFlow's "Sport" models which were discontinued last year for new model names this year. Other than having to drill screw holes in the spa for the four attachments to hold the spa cover no other assembly was required. Be sure to fill spa before plugging in and read the instruction manual carefully. Spa worked as advertised once plugged in. However friction heating takes 24 plus hours to reach preset operating water temperature. My spa is worth every bit of its low price and FreeFlow has an excellent reputation for low-end spas.



After a month of owning I now know that FreeFlow will support this spa. Through them I bought an ozonator replacement GFCI cable and replacement filter cartridges. Call or e-mail them for which part numbers you need to order. Spa is ozonator-ready but you must be knowledgeable in order to install because ozonator comes without installation instructions. From a local spa shop I also bought a Nature 2 mineral sanitizer and Potassium mono-per-sulfate (non-chlorine oxidizer) to combine with the ozonator and now water stays crystal clear using only 1 tsp of di-chlor per 245 gallon tub capacity.More detail ...

Great bread...even better pizza crust!

We've been using this bread mix for about a year as it's the best gluten-free bread mix I've found. I usually make the sweet bread and it's very good although it would make a great savory bread with herbs as well. I didn't even think to try to make pizza crust with it as we were using a mix specifically for pizza crust from another popular gluten-free brand which I didn't really like (too light and thick like a deep dish but without flavor). I just tried Pamela's bread mix for pizza crust and it was amazing. Not too thick and a bit chewy just like "real" pizza crust. I did add the italian spices which are optional but suggested in the directions and it was wonderful. The first decent pizza we've had since we've been gluten-free!More detail ...
