Now you're just being a tease, and deliberately misreading my posts.
We paid for the tests, and of course we wanted our products included.
Jim Arjuna uses the study without our permission, but we have discussed the matter internally and decided it's not worth taking action on (we won't strain at gnats, so to speak :D ).
You have yourself a Merry Christmas.
Brewman:
Gnat. I like that.

This discussion is truely endless. No matter what you do, you are picked apart by the engineers and everything is found to be slanted or unsientific. But still, consumers are still confused about WHAT to pay attention to. It seems that others would prefer to find fault and pick something apart rather than to find something good or worthwile in the data provided.
Again, it comes back to money, yours, theirs and who should do what for who.
Every manufacturer wants to sell their product. IF they were to do a "documented, certifed, third party, evaluation, like HS or AS who tested 3 of their models and 5 other manufactured models, other manufacturers will call a foul that the study is biased, meaningless, the consumer will consider the source that paid for the "independent" testing and say the study is "flawed" and meaningless. Salestalk would abound with mis-information.
Whatever is done, it has to be done with a credible source, like the Pope or Mother Therasa who presumable represent the interests of many. Many in this thread would simply dismiss it as meaningless information. Why do it. Self satisfaction maybe. Artic did their study. They paid big bucks for their information and it reinforces what they wanted to know.
It does have meaning, it is useful, it is just that the money spent satisfies Artic's need for information. Their willingness to share is rebuked and found faulty.
HOW CAN YOU WIN. The consumer, the maker, the seller, the shopper all want the information. WHO should pay for it? When it is provided, it too will be dismissed as sales foder.
Find a good Hot Tub you like and Buy it. By the time you're ready to buy your next one, we will have this all worked out.
Tom:
Good post, Clover.
