The BlueCube C1 is the entry model in BlueCube's handbuilt stainless steel line, and it has the most heavy-duty spec sheet on this list. BlueCube lists it at $16,500.00 with curbside delivery in the lower 48 states. The 60 in tub is 14-gauge marine-grade 316-L stainless steel with a Line-X exterior, and a 13,600 BTU (1.5 HP+) commercial chiller with a heater covers 41°F to 104°F and keeps working down to 20°F ambient. A ¼ HP Iwaki pump circulates 25.6 GPM, and water is cleaned by 20-micron filtration plus automatic ozone. Cover is strong: 3 years of parts and labor for homes, 1 year for commercial use and 15 years on the tub and frame. Each unit is built to order with an 8 to 10 week wait, needs a dedicated 120V 20A outlet, and the 30-day money-back guarantee carries a minimum 25% restocking fee. Its lowest temperature, 41°F, is also warmer than cheaper tubs here.
