Welcome to our forum.
I am new to all of this and the information that one receives over these forums can be overwhelming. I never realized that there was so much information that had to be considered when purchasing a new tub. To be honest it is mind boggeling. Anyway, I have been taking notes from the many forums and replys which is helping me tremendously. My situation though is very different. I do not live in the States and as such do not have the luxury of going to sealers, seeing whats available and let alone wet testing. Furthermore I have to coonsider the cost of shipping the tub from wherever to Panama and so I am on a strict budget.I have therefore been looking at trying to find last year models that need to be sold to make room for the new models or even tubs that have minor imperfections that are superficial but as a result can not be sold by the manufacturererrs or dealers. In my search I came accross the SPECTRUM made by VORTEX SPAS out of Canada. I tried to find reviews on the internet but could not find any, at least not like the reviews that you find for all the other major brands & moddels that have been quoted in these forums.It seems that this company is big in NZ and Australia and now recently in Canada. I have managed to find a 2012 new/un-used model that according to the dealer in Canada, had a small imperfection with the acrylic. As per the sales rep I have been corresponding too. he said: "we do have 2012 spectrum with minor imperfection in the acrylic.... I cant find any picture of the acrylic problem but the acrylic had an air bubble near the topside diverter, we removed the air bubble and fixed it"The price is within my budget but I now have to add on a grand or two in shipping from Canada to panama plus the taxes in Panama. So before I star making any decisions, I was hoping that some of you with the vast experience you have under your belts could posssibly check out the specs of this tub and let me have your comments, suggestions and recommendations.If anyone of the dealers online in this forum have something similar I would be interested in the detailsAgain I am new to all of this and look forward to being educated on the best way to go about getting a new tub
