After 2+ weeks of research I have gone from a complete newb to at least a pretty well informed consumer. Just wanted to say thanks to anyone that replied to any of my threads and anyone else on here giving out advise. We finally took the plunge (pun inteded =P) and bought our first spa. Here it is if anyone is interested. I really like Coast Spas. I think they have one of the best built spas in the industry. Not trying to sell anyone on one... Just saying after wet testing several brands and researching build quality, these guys came out on top. On the other end, i would highly suggest anyone interested in a Bullfrog to be sure to wet test before buying. Personally we found them to be noisy compared to all the other brands and had very limited therapy for legs or feet.
