Welcome to our forum.
thanks for the replies, guys. the hotsprings sovereign and limelight flair are sold by the same dealer, and the caldera martinique is a different dealer. the sovereign is a little bit more expensive than the flair and martinique. do you think its worth the extra dough? the dealer spoke of the tri-x filters and the 24hr circulation pump in the sovereign. when discussing insulation he said both the flair and sovereign are full foam but the sovereign uses a thicker or better grade insulation so it should be cheaper to run? a while back when i was researching the flair one of the things i was hesitant about was the warranty wasn't quite as good as the hotsprings, but the dealer told me they recently increased it to the same level as hotsprings so that isn't a concern anymore. what other features are important? are things like continuous horsepower and filtration area important? does anyone have direct experience with these tubs? any knowledge of repair history? sorry i'm kind of all over the place. just want to pick the experts' brains!
Since when did the Limelights switch to a five year warranty? Last I saw on the web they were a three year. Can any of the Watkins boys confirm this?
yes, the dealer showed me the warranty. in fact its actually slightly better with an extra year on the lights, i believe. does anyone here have any experience with the limelights in general, the flair in particular? having the beefed up warranty puts it back in the running for me. also it is a bit cheaper in price compared to the hotsprings sovereign. approximately $1000 less. its very similarly priced to the caldera martinique that i am also looking at. the sovereign includes an ozonator, however, while the flair does not. i cannot remember if the martinique includes an ozonator. if the tub i choose does not come with one, i am definitely getting it added, as that is a must for me.
Hmm, well just clicked on the link as Flash wont work on my phone. Anyways, on the secret that Dan shared with us, it still shows three year on the link. Sorry to keep beating a dead horse. I'm sure Watkins just hasn't changed it on their site yet, but it still shows a three year for now. http://www.limelighthottubs.com/downloads/warranty.pdf
