Welcome to our forum.
Hey guys, your probably lusting after 12 YO's. I know by your statements you don't realize that most gymnists in the olympics are under 15.Of course if you do relize that ... I hope the nice police men here visit you guys soon!
I'll be tortured for this one. There are only 4 comfortable seats in a Maxxus. If you want to truly fit 5 or six adults. The Maxxus is a fully featured flagship model, but it is not designed for 5-6 comfortable. True it has 6 seats, but if you look closely, two are high seats for a very small rear indeed. The 4 major seats are very wide and spacious, but not a great group hot tub. IMO.
The Maxxus holds 95 more gallons of water than the Optima, so it is slightly more expensive to maintain (more water/more chemicals). I like the fact that it has two aquterrace's (fancy name for waterfall). The earlier model Maxxus had a design feature allowing it to be used for aquatherapy (exercising in the water). I see no mention of this on the current model shown on the website. Did they discontinue this feature? It was just a couple of poles that clipped into the side walls, and then you diverted all power to large jets at one end of the spa, and simulated rowing against the current. I know it may sound lame, but I have a senior citizen customer who bought a Maxxus just for this reason, and it is part of her daily routine. She says its the only way she can get exercise with her arthritic joints, and says her early morning workout helps her arthritis feel better all day.
