Welcome to our forum.
Purchased a hot spring flash form my local pioneer pools. Flash is very similar to the pulse except a bit smaller. The hot tub is fantastic. Dealing with pioneer pools has been one of the best experiences I have had. From purchase to delivery to after sales all I have to say is great things. It has been a great experience and we are loving the hot tub.
I would rather not discuss pricing.

HotSpring Highlife Model..To Add to Bachmans story. I spent ALL day yesterday out building a small removable deck extension, stairs and skirting. My soft delicate hands are all cut up and my Muscles are sore. I did soak for about an hour last night and looking forward to tonight!
Slightly off topic but your interests and diligence might answer my question swilly. Just taking a shot at it anyways. Thanks in advance if you have some thoughts ! Our tub is a 2005 Marquis Reward, Silver Anniversary. Differing from the Reward far as I can tell, it has the matching pumps (MP 160's) for rated power versus the non-S.A. that has a MP130 and MP160. I believe it has 'optional' color-fall lighting also. No idea what the list or street price was or the bump up in cost over the non SA. Do you know by chance what people paid for this model when new ?
Chris from HTU told me that Master went to CMP jets from Waterway starting in 2017. He also told me that it reduced leak failures by 70% (from, I presume, an already low number) and that the ones they chose were actually more expensive than the Waterway jets. Without mentioning Master (for fear of inviting a hate-on) I bumped an old thread on CMP vs Waterway to seek some other opinions.For sure manufacturers will move it around based on cost and performance, especially for components they are out-sourcing anyway.

The jet itself isn't the issue as much as is the gasket/silicone process, how you install/torque them down, how you plumb them and certainly how you prep the fiberglass... I call BS on claiming they solved their issue with more expensive jets but then again that entire HTU is a big Marketing ploy.

LOL even if he had a way to track this (which he absolutely doesn't) It still wouldn't be believable...his vids are good for a few laughs I will say that
