Welcome to our forum.
I hope that by looking at name brand and not Hom* D*pot that I will be working with quality dealers in my area. Thanks!Dean
There are no guarantees in life but sticking with Hot Springs, Caldera, Sundance, Jacuzzi and Marquis is a wise choice IMO.
drober,Please don't limit yourself to tuo's list....you may not find the spa and/or dealer that is right for you. But please include the manufacturers listed by tuo in your search because they are quality manufacturers.
I am only 2 weeks into owning my new Hot Spring Envoy, but would have to say that I disagree with Mendocino about Caldera. I owned a Caldera Geneva Utopia before the Envoy. In all honesty, and not to take anything away from the Envoy as it is a really great tub, but it is not as good as the Geneva. In fact, except for the new double Motomessager, which is quite effective, the Caldera excells in every other way. Having now owned both, but admittedly for only a short time with the HS, I would have to say that in quality both HS and Caldera are essentially identical (and excellent), but in terms of performance and attention to details the Caldera is clearly superior.One area that is constantly discussed here is the difference in the filtration systems. They are different, but equally effective in my experience so far.Regards,Bill
