Wet Test!

[East_TX_Spa]

I have a Hot Spot Tempo set up and running in my store...they came in last week.

Very, very nice looking spa!  I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of power the jets have, the styling, and the overall quality of this tub.   The slightly smaller version (Relay) also hit my store last week.  The first person that looked at it bought it.

I will try to get some pictures up later today.

Looks like a pretty nice tub...
I was thinking to spend a little bit more after reading reviews on different spas...
Do you think i should go for the hot spring soveriegn instead?

Thanks

If you have the budget go for the Sovereign.

[ecohen]

Does anyone have anything better in mind for that budget?

The wide lounger looked interesting when we looked at this one with my sister. They ended up with the Vanguard.

We have just starting to look for a hot tub and have looked at the Master Spas brand.  Really like the LXS. It's on sale, this week and is selling for 10,500 (no tv or stereo). I really need opinions.....lots of money, I just want to make sure the product is worth it.

Just do a search for Master on here.  They are not a well-liked company.  I would stay away from Master if I were you.  They have done way too many dishonest/unethical things to be considered a good company to do business with.

There are plenty of other brands that you can spend that kind of money on and be much, much happier over the life of your spa.

Hot Spring, Caldera, Sundance, Jacuzzi, Dimension One, Premier Living, Marquis...just to name a few.

My opinion on the better spas out there is to look at Caldera, D1, Hot srping, Marquis, Jacuzzi and Sundance. I would take any/all of those LONG before I'd consider a Master and I'd also go with Arctic, Artesian, Beachcomber and a lot of other brands before Master.

At this point, I would add as an occasional reminder that the opinions of the valuable , highly educated and experienced members of this forum are not neccesarily that of WTB Inc

OKAY STOP!!!   PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to the advice you've already gotten to do a wet test.  PLEASE!  We bought our tub just over a year ago, and after about two months of research, shopping, looking, sitting in dry, etc. we were down to three models from different manufacturers.  The one that felt best when sitting in dry, was absolutely the worst when we wet tested it.  Just not comfortable, and the locations of the jets and the power of the pumps was all wrong.  The one we ended up buying felt right the minute we got in it wet...it fit like a glove, and had a good range of high and low power jets, etc. 

EVEN IF IT'S A TWO HOUR DRIVE, you really do need to wet test...trust me.  Reputable dealers will make arrangements for wet testing at your convenience!  Ours actually opened his store on a Sunday morning when he was normally closed, just so we could wet test.  We would've made a huge mistake had we not wet tested them. 

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ADVICE YOU'RE GETTING!

Just bought the Tempo and am getting ready for installation.  The final wet test is what sold me. 

As far as Master Spas...  Went to one of their shows, spas were $$$, sales pressure was unpleasant.  Went outside and took out my phone and got on the internet to find out about Master Spas (the actual dealer came out to tell me not to worry about Master Spas reputation.  That even made my search that much more important.)  What I read wasn't flattering.  When I told the sales guy I wasn't buying he got upset and told me that I just wasted so much of his time when he could have been making sales... guess I should have felt bad and bought one from the poor baby .  Oh, and when he told me that they "are a Christian Company" that really upset my stomach.  Where did that sales line come from? 

If you, Karol I believe, are thinking of spending that kind of money, I'd definitely look at the Hot Spring Spas.
