Stopped by at my dealer for chemicals and frog cartridges. He is carrying Nordic Spas. I was very impressed and the small ones come in at a great price point. It's fun to just look and not have the pressure to buy ..
Your right, about just being fun to look. I tend to spread where I buy my chemicals from around a bit and it gave me an excuse to keep up on the new models. Sometimes you really don't get a feel for how a dealer will treat you until after the sale, but having spent many hours in every showroom in town over the past 10 years made for a big part of my decision on where to buy. I do buy online occasionally, which reminds me, I need to order for of the test strips for my Aqua Check meter. That thing has been great.
