He's not exaggerating Josh, we in the industry have very detailed knowledge of these studies.

I'm sure many of you do, I'm confused as to why he brought up the Arctic study when I said there should be an independent company that rates all the brands.....he jumped all over me and implied that I didn't read the posts.

Fact is, I DID read it....but saw that the Arctic study linked above only compares a handful of spas made by only 5 of the manufacturers.  So many brands that people frequently mention favorably around here weren't on that list.

I was simply suggesting that someone should do a study that's a little broader than that.

I agree - it would be great.

HotSpring did have a study done. They offer all the details both online, and the company which did the study can duplicate the study on other tubs if manufactures would care to pay for the same testing. That would create a very good basis of comparison. I don't know why other manufacturers have not taken advantage of this opportunity.

in a way Josh has a point.....it would be nice to see
an independent study that compared all major brands

just because two brands pay to have a study done & the
results show glowing results doesn't mean that other hot tubs
brands like Jacuzzi, Bullfrog, Sundance, D1, LA Spas, ect......
couldn't be just as good or even better at energy efficiency

in my industry, i feel like we are clearly the best in Dallas
but we do not pay to belong to the Better Business Bureau or
all the other industry groups.....we are a bit of a renegade......
our competition may have a glowing BBB status, but
that doesn't mean they are even close to being as
good as we are.

of course i understand thats not Hot Spring or Arctic's problem
if other tub makers dont spend money having studies done...
good for them....if they do

but it doesn't mean the others tub brands like
Jacuzzi, Sundance, Bullfrog, Coleman, D1, ect....have
any less energy efficiency than Hot Spring or Arctic.....

You guys hammer Josh for the "horse power" deal being a
marketing ploy but isn't it kind of the same thing with the
energy study, implying that Hot Spring or Arctic are any better
at energy efficiency than say Jacuzzi, Sundance, Coleman, or D1
when in reality they are probably all pretty close in energy consumption?

Are you guys claiming Hot Spring is superior or markedly different than
Sundance, Jacuzzi, or D1 in energy efficiency?

Yeah...that data isn't really helpful considering they're only publishing the specs on their own models.  I'm more curious about comparisons against other leading (and not-so leading) manufacturers.
