What can I get away with?
« on: September 30, 2004, 04:51:01 pm »
Ok don't have alot of money to spend so I have narrowed my decision on which spa to get; either the Jacuzzi J-325 or the Sundance Caprio. Which is the better spa?

Concrete Slab of an 8x8 is several hundred dollars. So what is the least I can get away with for the foundation?  

Can I do a flagstone patio? How about a gravel pit with heavy timber bracing?
???

-Thanks for your quick repsponse-

The Caprio and J-325 in my opinion are pretty pathetic units performance wise.  

I would recommend the Sweetwater Bahia if you are looking at a larger tub or a Tiger River Bengal at the same size as both of those units.  The Bahia or the Bengal should be around the same price range as the Caprio or J-325.  

Also, you will save some money on the Caprio or the Bengal if you run those units 110V.

I recommend to people all of the time to put down a pea gravel base for the Marquis. Most people that buy the Marquis everyday series are trying to get a spa in for under $5000 including base and electrical. Several of them accomplish that.......
