Welcome to our forum.
I was told by the HS dealer that the Sundance and Jacuzzi have bypass in there system, yet my Jacuzzi dealer told me the cic pump runs 24 hrs and goes through the filter with no bypass and comes out either the waterfall or in the tub. So who is right?

So who is right? He's right. The circ pump is dedicated to the one filter, no bypass. Pump one runs through a filter with one suction with a spring loaded check valve for bypass in case the filter is badly clogged. It also helps keeping water pressure a constant through the jets something a HS can't do if the filters are clogged/dirty. Though it's prolly not a huge issue overall? Pump 2 is strictly hooked to suction. In all you could say that a Jacuzzi is a no bypass system with bypass at the same time. And yes HS spas are complete no bypass. Again is it really that big of a deal? No, just another sales tool to sell a spa.
Why can't ANY ONE show any proof that a no bypass is that superior to a bypass system. Sorry "seeing it with my own eyes" is not proof. Hell I saw Big Foot with my own eyes. Some one has to have an indepentent test to show this. I tried to get my Hot Springs dealer to show me anything that was not written up by Hot Springs to show me that their system was "better". No go. They could not show me anything. So I post my question on here and I thought I would get a answer the first day. No go. All I can say is if I built the best spa I would pay to have an independent test company to do a test to show my system is the best. Then I would have the test results ( if they really did show that I have the best system. If they didn't show it I would just tell my sells people to say it is a better system) all over my store. So of course some one will come on here and say there is no way to do a true independent test. I call BS. They do independent test from bicycle frames to cars. Doing a hot tub test would be very easy to do. It would not be cheap but just think if a top independent firm had the proof that Hot Tub A was far superior to all others sells would go through the roof. I know I'm a pain in the back side but damn this is fun.

IMHO all the big boys make high quality tubs and have great filtration systems. So any I would be happy with. So then it comes to dealer support and who is willing to negotiate prices. Both the Sundance and Jacuzzi dealers in my area were willing to work with me for price, while HS and Marquiss were not willing to budge much on price. So I went with Jacuzzi. While others in another area might get the oppisit and buy a HS. And we both will be happy with our purchase as will both feel we got the best tub for our hard earned $$$.

Do you not think Arctic Spas has not done some thing like this with their heat system or Sundance with their filter system.

You're a new spa buyer and no one talked about the Arctic testing lately yet you knew of this? You ether have used Google a lot or you're not really a new consumer. Either way, no one here is interested in any talk of independent testing unless it is done independent of the manufacturer. If its commissioned by the manufacturer it will be scoffed at.
