I jsut wish someone would explain to him that the costco unit being sold isn't the same as HS high end model.



Putting an exact model of their so called "high end" product on the floor of Costco for $2000 less, is like a huge slap in your face.

I mean, that's an outright lie, or  just plain stupidity.

Drewstar, he knows that and there's no sense in trying to reason with him.

It is very obvious he is very, very concerned as now there is a high quality spa available ON LINE that is going to affect his business.  His ranting and raving were the only way he could possibly attract attention to his company and it was all via the internet.

Now, he has some competition in this arena and he knows there is no way he can compete with Costco.

I told someone today about the Costco website as they are wanting a Sovereign but only have $6K to work with.  It's nice to be able to refer people in this direction.

Thats a good point term.

I hope that potential customers are thinking they're getting a $8K spa for $5K.

1 pump
Small heater.

Yes you can upgrade the model, or if you'd like, here are some of the HS dealership line...

He's back on the "You can't transport full foam spas on their side " rant.  Said he sent one of "his" service techs out to look at a "leaky Hotspring".  It just so happens that this spa was transported on its end and had multiple leaks on that side. ;D  

Well, when his service tech returned, JA quoted that he was chewed out by his service tech for sending him out on such a job, and never to do it again.  Wait....  Who's the boss here ???  Sounds to me like he has some insubbordinate employees.  Better get a grip on em JA. ;)

The thought that came to my mind was, "unqualified and lazy".
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

I was prospecting a dealer recently and noticed a booklet laying on a table.  Turns out it was written by this person and as I scanned it quickly, I was amused at the "what to look for" info and why not to get one from the "dog dish" maker.  Did he used to work for HS?  Cuz he sure has it in for them.

I only know of one company that has the foresight to offer European Bleaching of their spas:

It's a fascinating process.
