Welcome to our forum.
Also, I'm confused is their an Artesian dealer near you without a PG?
I'd like to offer my input on the Grandee, if that's OK?It is? Good...thank you for the opportunity to respond. I just got out of a brand new 2006 HotSpring Grandee about 5 minutes ago. 'Tis a fine autumn morning in far East Texas with nary a cloud in the sky. The temperature's hovering around 45 at the present and there's no breeze to be felt. As fine a day as you could ever hope for around these parts!The water was set at a hot and steamy 104, which is just about right on a day as fine as the one today. I had a steaming cup of coffee in one hand, a Montecristo cigar steadily burning in the other, and a big ol' fluffy towel draped over my arm as I eased out to the deck to settle in and soak my achy particles."Man o' man...don't this feel wonderful!" I almost says out loud to Brer Mockinbird, perched up in a faux palm tree eyeballin' my glistening head like it were some big ol' target just waiting to be deposited upon. "It's too bad you is just a little ol' sqwaukin bird with deviltry in you're eye, or I'd ask you to join me for a soak" I did says to him, but he didn't pay me no mind, nor should he.I fired up those 2 powerful jet pumps and settled on back in a corner seat to enjoy the effects of one of the Double MotoMassages. Dang that sure does feel right nice! Up and down it goes, loosening up all the tension I've built up over the last few days getting ready for the new baby. Oooooooweeee...those neck jets is doin' the trick, I'd surely say. My danged ol' knee is swollen from falling down during that softball game a few weeks ago...I oughta just prop it up against that Jetstream Jet right there. OUCH! That is too powerful, I'd better throttle it back some. I'll just turn that little lever down a bit....yessir, that is juuuuusst right!I move around here and there, lettting the spa work the different parts of me that are hurtin'. It does everything I need it to do, quietly, powerfully, gently if need be. What could be a better way to spend a day off from work than this? Shoot, it's getting pretty warm in here, better move on up to the cool down seat. Look at that big ol' hawk sitting on the power line across the street! Brer Mockinbird is givin' him fits, but he don't mind much. He knows he just a little ol' bird can't do nothin' but fuss and carry on. He got other things on his mind. He just sits there watchin', biding his time, 'til he see a juicy varmint stray out of the bushes and he swoop down on him with lightnin' speed. Brer Mockinbird decide he better go afore he end up bein' dessert!Ooooooooo....those big footjets down in the bottom sure feel good on my heels. I never thought much about sitting up here and getting my feet massaged so fantabulously whilst just drinkin' coffee and watchin' the critters. This is so nice! Come to think about it, my whole aches and pains are pretty much GONE...and so's my cigar and my coffee. Thirty minutes of sitting here in this wonderful machine, and I feel like I'm just rarin' to go the rest of the day. Got a lot to do, we're havin' a baby boy tomorrow, and I can't wait 'til he's old enough to sit out here in the spa with his daddy and watch the world go about it's business.Terminator
Also ask the Artesian dealer if the jets are interchangeable, We were told they are not, so if the mfg comes out with new ones in the future, you can not add them if you wish. Also, we heard that the pillow hardward degrades quickly and is difficult to repair. You may want to ask about them as well.Otherwise, they are both very nice units and expect to pay $10k and up for either. I think you would be happy with either one.
Curious how much do replacement headrests go for anyway
