My bourbon is trippled filtered.
Nothing worse than sitting back having a tall mint julip and BAM! ....toenail!
/gotta go to classier bars.

I understand your belief and your understanding of your product line, but your pumps suck water through filters that somewhat "restrict or retard" the ability to suck maximum gallons per minute. This does not make your product line better than mine or others, even if you do filter your drinking water.
This is not about contesting your point of view, for it is your point of view and the only way you see it. That does not mean it is the only way a good Hot Tub works. All Hot Tubs have anti-entrapment suction fittings that will not allow my toe nails to be sucked in, but then, remove your filters for cleaning and leave the pumps running, they will suck your toe nails into the guts of your spa.
I believe you have a good product line and I believe there are many other products that are "equally" good choices that consumers have made. I understand your pont of view, you must believe in what you sell. I believe many of my industry associates represent a respectable product that is good as well, even in the filtration process. That makes it a consumers choice.
Actually, we are not even competitors because we sell the same concept. Our competitors are the RV's, Boats, Big Screens, Vacations, Motorcycles etc. Things people don't necessarily need, but yet they spend their discreationary dollars on.

Man Obi-wanMcD you said a mouthful!
If more people in the industry would just understand that we drive people to buy those things instead of a spa with our ways of selling.
You want to sell more spas then don't do an ad that says "Five person spa with waterfalls $3995" most buyers have no idea what that means.
Do an ad that says "The perfect place for family conversation, Get one on one with your loved ones"
If you confuse customers enough about the differances with spas they will eventually give up and buy a big screen!
This was the point to my rant....Who cares how you insulate your spa if it is similar to other brands in power consumption! Who cares if you have 5 filters that have the coolest name in the industry as long as both stay just as clean.
I can tell you this...I see more water quality issues from how a spa is maintained then I do from how it filters!

Well, I sure hope that HotSpring continues to be the only spa company that offers 100% No-Bypass Filtration.
I'm tickled pink that dealers selling OTHER brands don't think very highly of 100% No-Bypass Filtration.
I'm proud that most people would rather have their spa's internals protected than not.
It's a BIG reason HS has been the most popular brand of spa WITH CONSUMERS for 20 consecutive years. :)

--- Quote ---I've said it many times before and I guess I'll have to keep on saying it:
The biggest advantage to having 100% No-Bypass Filtration is that EVERY SINGLE DROP OF WATER GETS FILTERED BEFORE IT ENTERS THE SPA'S PUMP, HEATER, AND PLUMBING. No hair, dead skin, dirt, toenails, or cheezy puffs gets sucked into the guts of your spa.
I would rather have my drinking water filtered before it goes into my stomach, heart, lungs, and digestive system. Wouldn't you?
Does anyone want to contest that point?

If you are already turning the water over around 100 times per day, why would you feel the need to stifle the main pumps by putting a filter on them?
Running the pumps through the filter is necessary if you only use a 5-10gpm pump for normal filtration.
