Post Script: it's worth mentioning that all repair and tech support companies charge a diagnostic/service call fee.

Sorry to have to write a bad review. Bought the Grandee from the Fairfax store about 5 years ago,…read morehas worked great except for the cover lifter. Getting service this year has been a nightmare. I replaced the entire mechanism for ~$1200 last year. This year (in March 2026), it detached from the hot tub, rendering it unusable in the prime spring weather. - I spent the last 10 weeks trying to get someone to come out to repair it (offered to pay full price) but no reponse. - Initially spoke to someone in the service center, who told me I needed a "bracket", and that it was on backorder. - A month later (in April), I reached back out to service center to check on status. I was told the original person I spoke to was no longer with the company, and the part wasn't the issue. - I asked to speak with a manager; was told to speak to Jeff. - Left multiple messages with Jeff, but he never got back to me. -Filled out the "service form", also no response. After 10 weeks, I got fed up waiting and went the DIY route. Located YouTube instructions on how to remove the panel. Once I did that, I saw the plywood they used to re-install cover lifter last year (which bears ~150 lbs of load btw) was only 1/8" thick, which would explain why the mechanism failed. I installed a 1" board, then remounted the screws on the lifting arm and closed up the panel. Fingers crossed, this will do the trick. As mentioned, the tub works mostly as advertised; Hot Springs equipment is great. However Capital Hot Tub doesn't seem to care about customers once they've made their purchase. The whole point of paying a premium price is to avoid this kind of hassle, and not have to DIY fix your stuff on the weekend.

It met all the…read morecriteria - space for 6, full body lounge, foot jets (family of runners), neck jets, salt water system (I hail from the Mediterranean and salt water is the way to go!). The limelight collection is even better than I imagined it would be. Sometimes we select one color and other times we just let it rotate through all the colors. Glad to have finally made this purchase back at the end of 2020 - the hot tub is so therapeutic and relaxing. I especially enjoy it on frigid nights during winter when the sky is clear and I can star gaze for as long as I want. :) Everyone at Capital Hot Tubs has always been wonderful. Purchase, delivery, and installation all went smoothly. Anytime we have needed assistance, they are quick to respond whether it is a question about a replacement part or water quality or even when an exterior panel needed to be repaired, the staff go above and beyond. We are fortunate to live close by as well. Our filters needed to be replaced last week so I just stopped by on a whim and Evelyn was very kind and helpful (Hi and thank you again, Evelyn! I enjoyed chatting with you about hot tubs, family, and pets, too!). :)

I have been a loyal customer but I will no longer use this company and I suggest if you are considering them, to go somewhere else. It shouldn't be so hard to communicate.

Unbelievably bad customer service and just plain rude. He only wanted to talk to my husband. Do not use this company!

My experience with Browning Pools went from 5 stars to zero stars during the entire pool building…read moreprocess. I contacted Browning for my pool project and my sales rep was amazing. He came out and measured my yard and was extremely professional. He answered all of our questions and even had one of the owners sit down with us to address any questions he couldn't answer. We even brought up the bad reviews we read online and they had responses for those. Seeing how we wanted a fiberglass pool built by River Pools and Browning was the only company working with them in our area (more on that later) we signed the contract and off we went. The first crew that came to our house were exceptional. This team that dug the hole and put the pool in the yard did a fantastic job. We even bought the guys lunch because of their hard work and skill. At this point we are thrilled that the project is going so well. The concrete and paving crew was also amazing. They did a great job and we were very happy. Now this is when everything takes a complete turn and sugar turns to sh*t..... The landscaping crew was awful. I mean atrocious. They attempted to turn our backyard around the pool into a ski slope. They made zero effort to level things off (which was in the contract) and tried to bury huge chunks of concrete in the yard. I called the project manager and even sent photos and videos of these gentlemen doing this and he did nothing about it. My wife and I had to go outside and literally yell at them to stop doing what they were doing. Our original PM never showed back up to our site. Browning sent another gentleman who flat out told me "as far as we are concerned the project is done." Hot tub still not delivered, pool heater still not delivered but the project is done? I wind up having to contact another company to get our yard in order because of Browning's refusal. More money spent. Wait, it gets worse. Included in the contract was a year of pool cleaning services. The first month of service they send you the A team. The pool looks amazing after each cleaning. After that month here comes the F team. Guys that literally spend 5 minutes at your property and send a report that the pool is clean. I called the service department to complain only to be told "that is the standard time it takes to clean a pool." Frustration is building at this point. Next I get a phone call from service that says "if you want to use us for pool cleaning next summer it will be a $200 fuel charge PER VISIT because you are out of our area." I wasn't out of your area when you wanted six figures from me but now all of a sudden I'm too far to do business with? Lastly, Browning came to winterize the pool after the first season and drilled a hole right through one of the deck jet lines. Did the guy say anything? Absolutely not. We didn't find out until the next summer. I called Browning and told them what happened and I get told they will send a team out to look at it. Two guys alone out and they cannot fix it because it is under the pavers and concrete. They tell me they would let the service manager know and he would call me. I made calls to Browning for a year and even emailed the owner and never received a response. The feature was never fixed and Browning has never contacted me about me about making it right. If you are considering a pool or hot tub project you should not consider using this company.
