Welcome to our forum.
Well, if Tony is going to jump in then so am I. I respect Tony's opinion. I'm new to all this. I just bought a tub, doesn't matter which but I did a lot of research before I bought. My wife thinks I'm ate up. But in reality I don't like making mistakes. Especially multi thousand dollar ones. After all my research online, I went to a local homeshow. I want to tell you I never saw so much cutthroat sells unprofessionalism in my life. I came away not informed like I should have, but confused. Its really sad. There was only one dealer at the show that held himself above attacking others. I could see a lot of hard feelings in this industry. In the retail sells world, there are many different sells tactics. I don't like the beating down of the comtetition. Let me decide. Just my .02 .
Why would we need to monitor all that. Why not pick two tubs in the same area with roughly the same useage and gallons and put them on a dedicated meter. We could compile the data over several months.I'm sure if I offered an in-store chemical credit, I could find a Jacuzzi and a Coleman customer of mine that would participate in our study. It would be worth every penny to put end end to this debate....
