After a lot of research, deliberating and shopping around, we finally pulled the trigger on a new Hot Springs Aria, with the SpaStone surface. The wet test last night was the final nail. We were able to get the local "Big E" special and then some. For $8900 we got the tub, cover, cover lifter, steps, extra filters, chemical kit, $50 loyalty gift card, etc. I don't have the list in front of me, but we won't need anything for quite some time. Once we get our deck finished, we'll be having it installed and if all goes well, we will be basking under the stars by the end of October!! Cant wait!!
I've been a pool owner for years but the hot tub thing is all new to me. I am sure that I'll be in and out of here for tips, advice, and other miscellaneous ramblings.
