Welcome to our forum.
Jacuzzi Premium was created by Sundance who builds them and is wholly owned by Jacuzzi Brands Inc. They are different from the original Jacuzzi Spas built by Jacuzzi Whirlpool Baths and discontinued in 2002.Sundance, and I would imagine JP also, includes the jet bodies in the plumbing components. The jets themselves, many of which are removable, are only warranted for two years (or less with JP and SW). They are relatively easy and not expensive to replace.
Actually on the Prodigy...
In my market, Hot Spring is pricing themselves out of the market. They are charging upwards of $ 16K (reportedly) for a Grandee !! I believe the 385 in Canada is only $ 12K. I'm sorry it's not a $ 4K better tub.
still can't decide and realy need help. price is exactly the same for both tubs including, steps, cover, coverlifter, start up chemicals and ozinator. my other half says it's my decision
The Prodigy can run all jets with the diverters in the middle position. Yes, it is noisy (but not as noisy as some other tubs diverters) and the ability exists even if *gasp* it is not in the manual! -Ed
