My wife was getting her hair done on Sunday so after that I headed off to two of my regular dealer visits. First up was the local Hot Springs/Cal Spa dealer. They had recently expanded. For about a year they moved the spas down the street during the remodel. Now they are all back in one building. (They sell spas, saunas, fireplaces, billiards, lawn and garden stuff and probably more. This dealer always had the best price on Dichlor. I can't remember the last time I bought a 5# bottle of Leasure Time Dichlor, but I think there was snow on the ground. Anyway, there has been talk of higher gas prices driving the price of everything else up. Prices here are back to around $2.10, which is probably where they were last time. I was happy to see the Dichlor was still $22.96. The new spa floor looked nice, they definitely could put more spas on the floor and they added a place for 5 wet spas for wet testing. In it I saw a couple of the Cal Spas with the "stone" sides. The one that Zep shows us on occasion. I thought it looked as good in person, though it would look out of place in my yard.
I did see the full line of 06 cal and HS models. They had the guts of a moto massage sitting out and I showed it to my wife in the same manner Term used it in his recent movie saga.
After that we went to the nearby Jacuzzi/Sundance dealer where we ran into our forum's own MJB. Here I finally broke down and bought some 303 product protector. I've been meaning to try this for a long time and finally bought a $17 bottle. I've been using something from Marquart? I think its called. After application I would definitely say my cover looks better with the 303. Usually after it dries I can see some dryness on the cover. (its 2 years old) This time all I could see was where I mised applying the stuff. (Its a 92"x92" cover) . I touched up those spots and it looks great.
Oh, by the way, even after the upgrade the Sundance dealer still has the nicer wet test room and facilities that are conducive to wet testing. (In my opinion the best overal show room I have seen)
