Hello,
This is my first time posting but like many before me...I have been lurking for weeks. We had been wanting to purchase a spa for a couple of years now but have been a little intimidated by whole idea of shopping for and maintaining one successfully since hubby and I are basically spa-virgins. After reading much of the forum I felt confident (and informed) enough to go out and find our spa. We visited every spa dealer in our area at least twice - some 5 or 6 times and finally decided on the perfect spa for us. We bought an Artesian Island Antigua that was delivered just over a week ago.
We feel pretty good about the price we paid for the tub we bought. Our Antigua is the 22 jet model and it has the Stereo, DynaStar Lights, 24 Hr. Circulation Pump, Full Foam, Maint. Free Cabinet, Ozone, Stairs, Cover, and Lifter- all delivered and set up with chemicals for $6700.00 total (including tax). Thanks to the fountain of knowledge on this site we feel confident we have many years of happy soaking ahead of us. Sincere thanks to all who particiapate in this forum. Most of the questions and comments have been incredibly valuable in our search (and now daily maintenance) of our new spa. This is the first place I go to find the answers to my questions and I look forward to putting my 2 cents in every now and then. Thank God for the Hot Tub Forum! You guys are Great...
