Hot Springs Spa Relay vs Artesian 748L???

[Ohiost8te]

I have narrowed my search down to these 2 spas because they are both local.  The Hot Springs is $6200 delivered, I will have to hookup myself (I already have slab and electrical, just need to hookup) and the Artesian is $6300 delivered and complete install (placed, hooked up, filled and running before they leave).  I really like both machines!  My initial reaction is that the company selling the Artesian had much better service!!!  Spoke with managers at both places...

Have you wet tested these models. I think you should because there is nothing worse than having to "settle" for OK

I wet tested both today and ended getting the Hot Springs for $5700....thanks guys!

I would say that both tubs doesnt have a good warranty , pumps are weak , hydrotherapy looks better on the artesian but the lounge look small , relay does have a nice design but dont expect to get much therapy massage from that tub , no circ pump , 3-2 cover , IQ 2020 anyone know its ade by wich manufacturer ?


I would expect more for 6k but if massage is not really important for you... this is a nice looking tub

Vortex..I get what u are saying and getting a good deal..but bad mouthing the competitor is always a 100% turnoff!

Where can you see your tub and wet test it?  What is your component and labor warranty?

[Ryan VSO]

I wouldnt be secured to  buy a tub that has a 2 years warranty on the surface thats all , other than that its a nice looking tub but for 6000 $ I would of buy a jacuzzi or a dynasty instead.

As a 10 year Dynasty owner, I couldn't, with a straight face recommend a Dynasty over a Hot Springs. Now a Chinese import maybe.

thats why jacuzzi was in first 2013 dynasty tub use better quality material now and will offer more than hot spring for 6k
