Looks like the upgraded cover is an additional $250. How long do covers typically last?
Question for the Artesian experts - on the Grand Bahama Elite, if a pillow fall was added, what seat does it go in and from what pump? Does it feel good while sitting under it and Can it be turned off if you don't want it running on you? Worth adding?Also, is a 50A GFCI ok or do I need to go to a 60A?

I think it runs from the same pump. It may feel good, depending upon your height. Yes it can be controlled independently. I personally don't think it's worth a couple hundred bucks to add. The tranquility fall is pretty cool though. I think it's a 60 amp but can't recall for sure. You can always call your dealer to verify this info. If they don't sufficiently answer your questions you can call Artesian directly.
Yes, I just had I delivered on Thursday. I ordered it with the Crystal AOP, inline @ease, Dynapoint LED, lifter, steps, 1yr chemicals, for $10,300 including tax, a $200 delivery fee due to distance from dealer and 60 months 0% financing. So, it was basically $9400 without the tax and delivery.
How does the Artesian Island Elite series compare with Marquis Signature series? I'm looking at the Epic and have wet tested. I haven't tested Artesian yet and am trying to decide if the drive is worth it. I'm very much looking for powerful water flow and that's why I'm interested in the HK jets on the Epic. Does the DirectFlow jets with more pumps compare favorably? Based on the marketing, it seems reasonable that no diverters and each seat having its own pump vs two pumps splitting the tub in two would be a good thing, but again, it's also marketing speak.From pricing perspective, is the Island Elite in the Signature Series price range (Grand Caymen Elite/Grand Bahamas Elite vs Epic/Euphoria)?

The dealer is only going to give you the upsides.1. Power consumption will be higher. More pumps=more power consumption2. No diverters means you loose all of the micro control diverters provide. What if it's to powerful and you want to turn it down?3. More electrical components=more that could go wrong.Food for thought.
