After many months of shopping and wet testing, I finally made my decision to buy a Jacuzzi J-345. It's a new dealer in town, but he's great with follow up, and has a service manager that I knew from a previous hot tub store. Pricing seemed quite reasonable, and included cover lifter, chemicals, ozonator, LED lighting, and delivery. I've owned a beachcomber and older hot springs in the past. I looked at both those brands, especially HS, but the dealer here wants outrageous prices for them. I feel like I've bought a tub I can "grow old with", and look forward to many a soak this cold Canadian winter. Thanks for all your help !!
