Welcome to our forum.
Are you implying that it's better to prevent leaks rather than making them easier to fix? WHAT A CONCEPT!!
c..Don't compare an 8 year old TP Marquis to a Coleman and tell me they changed their manufacturing process
I think the jabs at others products is not needed
One cool thing about Marquis is that they have tried many different things in spas, for instance circulation pumps or not fully foaming the spa, whereas many companies have just done it one way since the beginning and are reluctant to change. The one thing that I will say about the full foam versus TP debate, why would a manufacture spend money on foam and labor on spraying that foam if they could get away without it? Obviously Marquis tried it and it wasn't the best possible product for the customer so they made a change.
What a unique way of taking "potshots" while sounding innocent and saying your not! Not to worry though, when I get some time this week I have several HotSpring pictures of the same vintage and newer with Pink faded cabinets, cracks on the edge of the lips (most within a foot of each other), burned heaters, Cracks on the steps and so on. I've replaced more heaters and heater relay boards on HotSpring than should have ever failed so it will show history behind their newer D1 like heater (that they used to sell against) and explain why they went to it. I wont be taking potshots either but rather showing some history.....
