Welcome to our forum.
Well it had 3 jet pumps, which was great, and you could control the flow with the diverters and such, I just stuck my hand it but it felt nice. Going to wet test when ready, but thats not for awhile.
Sticking your hand in is great if you're testing a hand washer. Even though the wet test may not be for a while here is one word of advice. Try to wet test the different brands you like all the same day (and yes, wet test a couple brands). Schedule the Artesian for the morning then the Jacuzzi, Caldera ... for the afternoon. So many times I've seen people wet test and say things to their spouse like "I'm not sure if the XXX we tested last week felt like this one or if it had ...". You want to wet test the same day (or worst case the next day) so you have a real time basis for comparison. Dealers are typically very flexible when you want to schedue a wet test.
We have the Grand Bahama which Vinny talked about. We still use our's 2-3 times a week and have had zero problems. We lived in Ireland for two years and our son and his family lived in our house and used the tub all the time. Our grandkids still come up and ask to use the tub. We really love the Artesian.
