costcos aquaterra is the same as free flow..watkins owns the company same company that makes hot springs

The free flow ones are the ones that use 110 thought, right?

they have both..most can run on either..110 1kw heat 220 4 kw heat..the milano is only 220

The dealer tried to convince me that their 100 models were "different" than any other hot springs models and I should go with it instead..LOL..from what I understand I don't want a 110 model, right?

110 will take longer to heat..and not hold heat as well in cold weather..trust me they are the same..of course the dealer wants your business..you can plug and play aquaterra and if its not good enough Always convert to 220..understand they are basic tubs ..if you plan on using the tub for "hydrotherapy" and stay in it for long periods of time it's probably not for you..but if you are like me and just want a 15 min quick relaxing soak they are perfect..remember for most the novelty wears off after a little while and the tub isn't used much..it's really up to what your expectations are..I currently have a 110 only tub and its fine fort quick swims..I am waiting to buy an aquaterra as soon as Costco puts it on sale

All the Freeflows are 110V but can be converted to 220V if you chose to. Unless you're in a very cold climate the 110v will probably work for you but you have the choice.

I found a mint condition 2007 Hot Spring Envoy for 2000 dollars. (Only 800 more.) I think this is a much better deal. What do you guys think?

You will save money when every you run 220 vs 110, plus it allows you to run a larger heater which will heat faster with less amps than 110.
