06 D1 @ Home Sojourn
or
05 Artesian Gold Opal(brand new)

Both include steps, cover, lifter, delivery, startup chemicals. Both have a circulation pump and ozonator (@home will have optional clearzone system)

The artesian has 3 pumps.
The D1 has 2 pumps.

Both priced the same.

Can't make up my mind... Grrr....

How'd the wet test go?

And most importantly., what did the wife think?

Find out if the Artesian dealer is a Factory Direct Outlet. If he isn't, I would go to one of their outlet stores and you can save thousands of dollars.

Is warranty from date of purchase or date manufactured?

Decided on the Artesian Opal. I felt this was more tub for the money. I'll try an post pics in a few weeks once it's set up.

Color is Desert Horizon (oyster opal), with Country Taupe cabinet.

In the meantime I better get cracking on the slab and electrical.

The Artesian Opal

Very nice. Looks like a Sundance Optima.

Congrats Sled. The Artisain looks nice. Do you mind me asking what the price was?

and compelety off topic....
in your pics, what's the downspout comming our of the house by your slider? I've never seen that?

Congrats again on your tub.

sledjunkie · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2006, 12:17:27 pm »

Thanks.
I paid $6100. It's an artesian dealer, but I won't say which one, as I know they worked hard to get me that price.

Only thing different from everyone else on this board is that I need to pick it up myself. I'm picking it up on my snowmobile trailer.

That is not a downspout. It's a vinyl enclosure I purchase to hide my refridgerent lines for the ductless mini split air conditioner, which hangs above the slider inside the house.

Here is more progress pics from this weekend
