Tiger Bengal to Tiger River Caspian - is it really an upgrade??
« on: November 01, 2010, 01:16:57 pm »
Hey everyone.  Been a while since I've been on the boards. 

Here's the situation.  I've got a 2005 Tiger River Bengal.  Its been a fine tub.  Had the circ pump and heater module (??) replaced under warranty. 

The cover is shot, so I'm looking at approximately $500 plus tax for that.

Thoughts, especially from HS dealers and Caspian owners:

1.  I would like a bigger tub without a lounger.

2.  I would like a more powerful tub

So is the Caspian really an upgrade from the Bengal?  Does the Capsian's pumps give it enough power? 
Can Caspian owners comment on the foot dome?  Like it or not

I'm trying to stay with Hot Spring product, as I would have to do some re-wiring to go with any else.

Thanks

Hey Golferm,

The Caspian is a size upgrade from the Bengal definately. Deeper and no lounge so there is some extra room right off the bat. If you are looking to upgrade size as well as performance then you might want to look at the LimeLight Pulse http://www.limelighthottubs.com/pulse_hot_tub.html#explore-spas?id=pulse-hot-tub It has a very similar seating arraingement as the Caspian but but bigger pumps to power more jets.  Still from Watkins Mfg. and has the same warranty as the Tiger River.  :)

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

It IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you.
