Yes, the valves are on the same side (next to the lounger).  It has never been a problem for us because one of us is always in the lounger and will adjust it when needed.

One thing I do like about the lounger is that I use it as a cool down seat by sitting on the knee part, and then get the best foot massage.  I really like the power of the foot jets.

The wet test will make your decision easy I think.

I had exactly the same thought when I read that! I'm 5'12" ( ;D ) and 175ish and people think I'm skinny. 135 would require both legs to be amputated and then I wouldn't be 5'12" any more...

Gee, that's funny.....I admitted to being unreasonable more than most here, and my opinion on the "fix" would be either 100% credit toward the same or upgraded tub...
I worked this week, haven't been online.....and VOILA!
congrats on getting a great solution for you and your wife!

Ok so here's the thing.  If i upgrade to the Envoy the total additional cost for me including tax is $4,222.

This does not include coverlifter or any accessories.  They sell those individually.

That's a big bullet to bite so I have got to give this some thought.

MY opinion is:

You bought your original spa because you liked it. Get a new replacement spa and call it even. If it were $100 to $500, I'd say OK maybe - But $4000+ ...  NO WAY.

We all want bigger and better, I know there are times when I wished I bought Artesian's top of the line Piper Glen, but the reality of it is the extra $3000 didn't sit well with me and would have gone over like a lead balloon with my wife AND I am happy with my spa.

Just my $0.02!

1)  What about the Sovereign.  Wouldn't be as big a price jump?

2)  Buy it in Texas with a prescription and pay no sales tax! :D

Get the one you want because it will be the last one you'll ever have to buy.

I have heard others comment on the fact that the diverter valve on the Envoy are both located on the same side so it makes it hard to switch if you are in one of the corner chairs.

I will plan on wet testing though. :)


We normally leave the diverters in the 6 0'clock position, giving power to every seat unless we need an extra boost.  We find that equal power is usually fine.  Especially since after a year and a half we still use every seat.
