Here's my situation. We are a family of 3 (9year old daughter). Thought a hot tub would be a good addition to our backyard as I have some back problems and for general family relaxation time together. Probably looking for a 5-6 person tub.
I've been to all the dealers in our area over the last week and have to admit that I have reached the point of information overload. I didn't realize there were so many different things to consider and would have to pay so much for the priviledge of owning one. I have come to realize that I realistically can't spend anything more than $10,000 CDN in total for a tub, taxes, concrete pad and electrical hookup (or my wife would kill me
)
So far the only tubs that I have seen that would keep me under this magic limit once all is said and done are Everyday 530 (2004 model) and Sweetwater Caymen and just barely over would be an Arctic Yukon (many thanks for all the replies to my last posting regarding Arctic). Any other tub I have seen will be costing me considerably more than my limit.
I have not wet tested any models yet until I was able to come up with ones that would meet my budget.
Any comments would be appreciated to help me make some sort of decision. At this point in time I just feel very frustrated with the whole thing and don't really know what to believe anymore
