Hi Vinny,
By the way, Jacuzzi Premium Spas do in fact use "Jacuzzi" pumps. Anyone telling you otherwise is incorrect.

Jordy,

From what I read on the internet at different times it was said that since the Sundance and Jacuzzi merger, Jacuzzi stopped using their original pumps.

On some message board (either here or on Doc's - I'm not sure) it was said that the J-345 uses Sweetwater and the J-365 uses Sundance. I've even seen people giving advice not to buy the J-345 due to this fact and to buy the J-365 to get the Sundance pumps.

I was repeating what I've read - If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

BTW it's interesting my local Sundance dealer doesn't think much of his Jacuzzi counterpart. I think it's probably the Jacuzzi line is in direct competition with lower prices (Sundance) and with a better warranty (Sweetwater).

Chuck,

Would you happen to know if they have a website or do you have a phone number for them? That's about $2K less than I can do around here. If they will ship it, I'm still ahead $1500.

Thanks Chuck!

I just called them -- but they were closed. I left a message... I'll let you know how it turns out.

Gman, I carry both Hot Spring and Artesian. Both are good choices. With the Artesian you will be able to sit deeper and have jets above the water level for your neck. If you order the Artesian with the optional circulation system your energy costs will be lower. You also have alot more options with Artesian. (stereo, waterfall jets etc..) We have found them to be reliable. I guess I would consider the Hot Spring to be like a Mercedes and the Artesian Island to be a Chevy. Both are good choices but you can get more bells and whistles with the chevy. There is no wrong choice.

I like the Prodigy myself, but that is just my opinion.
