Welcome to our forum.
If I'm overplaying the circ pump in terms of noise, I could drop that, but I'd really like the ozoneMy nearest dealer is a "luxury" dealer, so they are always walking me up in price. For example, when I told them the Chelsee was too much, and I need to shave $2-3K off the price, is there something smaller, the recommend a J-345 for maybe a little less than $1K less. It's kind of getting to me. I appreciate all the help here.

Hotsprings makes the Hot Spot line, Nordic has tubs, you can get a Bullfrog for low 5s, lots of others out there. Plenty of quality. I'm not referring to the Costco tubs here.L bullfrog has tubs in the low 5's?

Thanks. A couple of questions:1. how much cleaning did you have to do? I set a limit of 2 years old for a used tub. All that we looked at were outwardly very clean. I'd have run a few cycles of Ahh-Some or similar product through any used tub prior to use if we had gone that route.2. was it filled and running when you first saw it? I removed from consideration any tub that would not be seen running, heated, etc.3. how old was the tub (what year) I was close to buying a 2014 Hot Spring Jetsetter that was 4 months old. Price was $4750 for a tub that had a retail of close to $80004. how did you move it? I had a local spa dealer who offered to rent me his Spa Dolly and 2 of his guys to collect, transport and install the tub. Cost to me was $250 for a weekend (tub was 5 hours away)Thanks for any help.
I would be wary of 10 years old.... my current tub is a D1 and was a great tub for 10 years... then we moved it to build a new patio. Just from one side of the yard to the other, then back. It's been a leak monster ever since. I think that after 10 years, the pipe joints get brittle. No problem as long as you don't move it. So the used tub may look and run fine when you agree to buy it, but may not once you get it to a new location.
