Welcome to our forum.
For comparision, what about the Sundance Marin? (isn't Sundance made by Watkins as well?)http://sundancespas.com/800Series/Marin.php
Bite your tongue drewstar!!!! Sundance is owned by Jacuzzi or the other way around, I can't remember. But, they are not affiliated with Watkins in any way.Regarding the Accolade, it is a high-performance, extremely therapeutic, 4-person spa on steroids. If you are limited on space but want powerful jets, it is a great little spa. I have a customer that owns one and loves it. It fits her space.Terminator
It's got a 2.5 HP pump but that is powering fewer jets than your spa. It has 3 Tri-X filters that insure there is no-bypass in the filtration system. I've used the Accolade at my store plenty of times and, although it's not my favorite, it gives a great massage and is perfect for 4 large people (me and 3 fat women).Don't get me wrong, I love the Caspian as well. It's my wife's favorite spa. She loves the footdome and the deep corner seats. I was just giving Timothy my review of the Accolade. Terminator
But, as I said, for the sake of argument, there are other tubs that might fit into the same footprint and offer different features for the money.
Devil? Did someone call?
Yes, but Timothy dismissed any talk of other brands by stating "HS (HotSpring) is the only spa I would ever buy". You're playing devil's advocate by attempting to turn him over to the Devil himself.Sun-dance ie. "to celebrate, in frenzied gyrations, the Sun god" Leadeth him not into temptation....Terminator
