Questions about Arctic Spas
Summitman:
--- Quote ---Nope, I have the spa line that I have stood by for years. Arctic plays no role here. The local guy who sells Arctic here use to work for us, while he was here he spent alot of time putting comparative notes on the company computer. In his own words I can show a customer why my tubs are better. This guy even went as far to put his name at the bottom of his notes. If Arctic did not change their designs they would sit on the floor and not be sold on a floor that I worked. I cannot sell if I do not believe in it!
Ask around you will see.

I dont need to ask around, they sell VERY WELL for me and my customers. Im not here to tout them just defend is all. Funny thing is those notes you have, he really didnt know the product like dealers or customers would since he didnt sell them or own that brand of spa at the time. He was just a competition coming up with ways to try and sell against Arctic.

For the record sawman, just so the new people on here know, you just started selling Cal Spas again just a few weeks ago. You left your old place of employment from another Cal dealer to go work with your brother Steu, and didnt sell Cal for quite a while until recently. There were many of times where you bad mouthed cal when you werent selling them; that isnt much for support. So, what did you sell when Cal wasnt on your floor?? ::)

O.K you are confused on my background.you are confused as to where I worked prior to working for Stuart, You are confused as to my loyalty on Cal Spas, anyone on here that knows me knows I have stayed loyal to Cal Spas through the entire time I did not have Cal Spas on the floor. The only near negative thing I have ever said was that it was nice to not have the service phone ring as often as it had @ Cal. There were some minor things that Cal went through that needed attention. Name a brand that hasn't had these issues and I will make you a liar.
To answer your question what I had on the floor when Cal wasn't the answer is D1 and Marquis.
You have to understand, when I talk about comfort and design I don't pull it out of my ear, I have seen the transition in the industry from the old molds where a lounge was a simple bench that layed you way back. Why has the entire industry changed these lounges? The answer is because when ever people would go to buy their second spa they would come in saying "we do not want a lounger this time" this was because they would float out of the lounger and could never use it. The lounge takes up 3 seats in a hottub, most of the industry has made the change in seats where your lower lumbar no longer is positioned way forward, they have learned that this is what is causing discomfort and floating. Take a look at other brands.
Do you really think I made this stuff up? I am not even smart enough to make this stuff up.
Summitman:
your not the only guy selling tubs that knows a poorly designed lounger allows people to float. Our loungers dont cause anymore people to float than any other brand of spa. Until you have sold these spas first hand and talked to actual Arctic customers first hand you are assuming, and we all know what assuming can do.

I do know what my experience is from sitting in a Klondiker laying on my back, and my knees 3" out of the water because I could not hang on. I talk to Arctic customer weekly, I have seen Arctic first hand at homeshows all over the country, accumulative hours peering into the cabinets and even trying to help people with the overheating of their spas in the summer time. I think I may have enough info to make an educated analogy of what my opinion is.
People: Please do not take my word for it just wet test and if you like it, buy it! I have only an opinion that needs no merit or proof, I hold no weight in any buying decision, I can give a very small of input of certains things you may want to look for.
I appologise to this board as even I am bored with this thread already.
