Welcome to our forum.
I have to say, I agree with almost everything stated, as far as looks. At first glance, thought it was an ad for a spa back in 1985. With the square, flat design. Keeping the top surface perfectly flat does explain the underwater Multiport Valve. Goodluck trying to service the valve when the spa is filled. Why the flat service? Are they installing Be-Lite Aluminum Spa Covers on the tub too, they work on totally flat square tubs, just wondering. What is the sales appeal, is it an Eco-Friendly Spa? Special materials or energy saving tub? I too, will look for the tub at the Atlantic City Show...

He said "Goodluck trying to service the valve when the spa is filled". He's just stating the fact that you have to drain the spa to service that diverter which you wouldn't have to typically do.
Anyone Seen this tub in person yet? Was wondering what MSRP was. (I know that isn't a true indicator of actual price tub can be purchased for) But It would be nice to compare and see where it lands in Jacuzzi line up.
I guess it was well received in Cabo at the dealer conference, I didn't go. From what I have heard the pictures don't do it justice. Price wise high 8s if not more
