Welcome to our forum.
I'm sorry but I feel most of you don't get it, that's why I continue to educate the consumers on this board. While shopping I learned early the Spa industry is a very screwed up, dirty business. Lots of lies being told. This market is much worse than the used car market in my opinion.With statements like "Free crane delivery....sweet! " certainly shows me that alot of consumers continue to not "get it".

Quote I'm sorry but I feel most of you don't get it, that's why I continue to educate the consumersNow who does that sound like?
Listen guys -This forum is great. Most members are knowledgeable and provide valuable information as it relates to hot tubs.However the reason some of my posts are the way they are is because of the overall forum mentality.It is overrun by Spa salesman, and their tactics and verbage is that of a spa salesman, looking out for their own brand and persuading potential tubs owners to their own brand.New members who join and are seeking advice (which tub is better), pricing, etc are from members, who again most are in spa sales. Now I will admit alot of members are also not spa salesman, however reading the forum the last couple of months I can tell you that since the spa industry sales staff have created the trend here, alot (not all) of you simply repeat statements that your fellow spa salesman have create awhile back. Example "Your dealer is important".Some of the advice these spa salesman give are valuable, but most of them one sided and aren't looking out for the consumer, but rather themselves or their brand.This message is for all new hot tub consumers, please remember this forum is loaded with spa salesman, who will one way or another try and persuade you. Don't buy into it. Look out for yourself when shopping. Pick apart the statements made here and take the valuable product information only. Separate opinion from fact. And most of all get your facts straight.
I'm new here but I think you might be underestimating the general membership. I've read hundreds of posts from ordinary owners like myself and found them to be very knowledgable as well as astute both of the products they buy and the salespeople they deal with. We're all adults here, and like with any big ticket item most of us do our due diligence before purchasing.
Well now that the original topic has been well and truly hijacked . . .I for one am glad to have found a forum that is populated by people who are knowledgeable about the subject.
