We are looking to get our first hot tub. We’d like a hot springs tub. We tried the grandee today which was the only hot springs the show room had full. I felt like I floated up in it so I think I’d like the hot springs limelight pulse which has an area to anchor your feet.
1- the dealer is quoting $8500 with a free ace system. We don’t want the salt water system. Should we try to negotiate down $1,000? Ask for stairs and the cover lift in place of the system?
2- is the ion system a good way to reduce chlorine as much as possible?
3- we just had a nice paver patio put in last year. We are thinking we’d need to extend it to accommodate the hot tub and the furniture we have out there. This will be costly as they need to bring in all the machines,etc. The dealer mentioned using crushed stone. Will this be stable enough?
Thanks so much for your help!
