Welcome to our forum.
So how does one find out the TRUTH of this question??? And how is something "really close to full bypass but not quite"? I wonder if I could obtain a schematic of the tub and then follow the tubbing on the lower suction intacts and see if they flow through a filter before reaching the pump.We're leaning towards writing the tubs down and drawing them out of a hat.....Thanks,Fred
Fred, are you shopping at Spiderman's store? I think your Jacuzzi dealer is not being very honest with you. Why don't you give him the link to this post and maybe he can explain himself. I hope this doesn't go to the Dead Horse section. Good luck with your search........
Thanks all for your imput.wewannahottub I take it from your little nurse looking icon that you are in fact a nurse. So is my wife. Go luck to you in your search for that prize. We are very excited to get one in our back yard...in place of the snow that is still out there. Time is on our side in our search because not only does the rest of snow have to melt, I also have to add onto our deck to put our tub on. Thanks for the encouraging words..In His Peace,Fred
WWHTWhich tub are buying? And why?Thanks,Fred
Still on the list1 Arctic Tundra2 Jacuzzi J4703 Dimension 1 Lotus Bay4 Dynasty Caspian 55 or TItan 50005 Artesian, if my hubby can convince me to drive far for a dealer and have service charges out the wazzooooo....but he's cute and I love him and he makes me googly eyed...heehee(i know--I am cheesy)ChrisiThe only one on your list we have experience with is the Jacuzzi J470. We wet tested the J480. The 480 has a lounge and the 470 doesn't. We love the 480 and my wife absolutely loves the lounge. It has Jacuzzi jets call PowerPro FX2. They are the best jets we have experienced to date. There are six in the lounge. On the 470 they are in one of the corner seats but drop down to a cluster of 5 instead of six.We would buy the 480 but when we wet tested it we were in and out kind of fast. My concern is that after the wet test we dry sat in another Jacuzzi that had the sme foot pedestal and it seemed to be in my way for streching out. I didn't notice it while in the 480 wet so maybe with water in it, it wouldn't be an issue. But now I'm concerned....so we'll just have to wet test it again. Another thing is it is the most expensive one were considering at this time.Have a great Sunday,FredGood luck
Are we not splitting hairs. I mean if you have 100% no by pass or if you filter 100% of the water over and over during the day? Can anyone really make the claim that one is significantly better. What is over looked is water sanitation if your spa water is not balanced and and does not have a safe amount of sanitizer in it than the filtering will not matter with no regard to whose brand it is.
