Welcome to our forum.
We passed over the Beachcomber during our search due to the external pump. Â The additional space required just wouldn't work in our location. Â Make sure you take the extra space into account!
SJK,Beachcomber uses a BIG circulating pump to filter the water and Sundance uses a little one with pump 1 coming on low every so often (this is programmable) Â to help filter the water. I don't know if the circ pump is an option in Beachcomber or it's standard.Every manufacturer tackles filtration differently and none of the major manufacturers have a problem keeping the water clean. Don't let this be a deciding factor in selecting your tub.
What about the turbo option? Â Its an extra $350.00, but I've been told its "a guy thing" - not really that useful. Â I'm almost sold on the 720.
I will go one step further with this. In my (measley) three years in the business, I have yet to encounter anyone, I repeat, anyone who has complained of inferior filtration systems. This includes a variety of tubs purchased at big box stores.Filtration just isn't an issue within the industry - at least in my neck of the woods.
