Welcome to our forum.
Your probably right. It was around 97-98. I remember looking at a model in the same store they have now and compared to the other manufacturers it seemed Hot Springs didn't have many jets (not that a large number of jets are always better) Maybe I got the whirlpool effect confused with air bubbles. Anyhoo I will go by Monday and see what they have. What should I be expecting to look at in the 7500 dollar range with a lounger?
The Dimension 1 Aurora and the Limelight Flair (Hot Springs) is in the 8K range with delivery, steps, chems, ozonator, cover/lifter. I have wet tested the Coleman and Jacuzzi 375. Loved the 375 but this dealer has it way out of range. My plan is to visit the Artesian dealer to see what they have and re-visit Jacuzzi and see something in the 200 series this weekend.
