Welcome to our forum.
Keep on searching and you will find one that works. My wife loved almost every tub but they did not fit me. We loved the Jets in the Jacuzzi, Arctic was great too and sundance was reasonably priced for the quality but they did not fit right. We settled on Pacific spas because it was 41" deep, had long seats that you could semi lounge in and the foot dome and sports therapy package was great. Web site is:http://www.pacificspas.ca/index.htmYou can punch in your zip or postal code to check for dealers. To me fit was the most important, Jets next and the service was a close third. Keep up the searching and you will find one. Where else can you be treated like royalty and get a free soak in a hot tub. The hot tub dealers are amongst the friendliest people on the planet. Kudos to all the dealers for making all of of us first time buyers feel welcome. BTW we bought the Calypso if you did not know which one.
Now that I have owned a hot tub for awhile I found that what was important to me while I was looking is different after ownership. Things like:Powerful jets and diverter valves. At first I would use the diverter valves to throw the full force into the seat I was sitting in. I often got a little bruising and found that more is not always better. I run my jets with the diverter valves in the middle and I hardly ever touch them. Most of the time I do it to impress friends in the tub.I thought I would need 7 seats for all the wild parties. 99% of the time I soak alone or with my wife only. Three is the most I have had in the tub at one time. I find that the diameter of a 7 seater is nice. I like to stretch out.I thought floating was a bad thing, now I live for it. I like to put my head on a corner pillow and take in a deep breath. I float with my feet in one corner and head in the other. I suspend myself over the center volcano jet and find the weightlessness very relaxing.I thought I needed a stereo, wife likes it but I do not. I like the relaxing sound of the waterfall with the light show.I thought I would not use it during the hot summer months. When it is 112 degrees outside 101 degree water feels great.What I find is important now is deep seats and nice feeling jets, I'm happier now with my J-470 then when I bought it or I just got use to it. Don't know but if I had it to do over I think I would have ended up right where I am now. In hot water.....Scott 8-)
I keep asking hubby why we actually need a 6-7 person spa, I know for company, it will be nice, but we don't throw many shindigs. When we tested the Tundra, the water was 103, and hot! We couldn't stay in it long.
Calypso--Actually, my husband has been eyeing up the Calypso for a while, but last time I called our local dealer, he only had one small spa to look at. I told hubby to call again...
Calypso-I'll have to try to schedule some wet tests between the Clearwater Orlando, and see what the Pacific guy has. I am still hooked on Arctic, though.
