Hello - excellent site! - and thank you for accepting my membership.
I am in the market for our first hot tub and have been researching for about 1 month now.
I am concerned about the depth of the tub. I have limited space on my patio, so I am looking for tub with a smaller "foot print" than most.
The Hot Springs Jettsetter and Prodigy would fit nicely, but I am really concerned about the depths.
http://www.hotspring.com/Spa_Showroom_Hot_Tub/spa_model_prodigy.htmlI have been told by several tub owners that it is very important to have a deep enough tub to cover your shoulders when sitting in the tubs seats without have to crouch down and be uncomfortable. The issue I am running into is the smaller foot print tubs are 33" deep (outside measurement) max. The Jetsetter is 29!! I am 6 foot and my wife is 5' 10".
I would greatly appreciate any input / opinions on this and maybe some suggestions on other brands that are similar in size, reliability, and have the depth I am looking for.
Also, I have read a LOT of reviews on Hot Springs Spas and the they seem to be rated in the 4 to 5 star area most of the time. When I do see the 1 or 2 star ratings, it is usually due to leaks. Any advice or input on this would also be appreciated.
Many thanks - JWB
