Welcome to our forum.
Great advice, thank you. Especially for me, because patience isn't normally one of my virtues and I have to work at it. Another quick question if you don't mind. I probably already know the answer to this, but I'm wondering what all of you think about the following brands: Master Spa, Hot Springs (that one I know about), Four Winds, and Balboa. The reason I'm asking is that there is a hot tub refurbisher guy on Craigslist who has tubs listed from these 4 brands for what look like decent prices, with features that are more than what is available on the Nordic I'm looking at. Refurbished, work great, free delivery, etc. But, getting information from him is like pulling teeth. I had to ask him several times just to get the manufacturer names.
It could be an Artesian, if so the topside will say artesian on it. I would just be leery of refurbished spa's unless from a spa dealer that would back up with a decent warranty.
