Ohhh didn't have a Coleman there did ya?...

You can infact divert all the pressure on that 160gpm pump to just 4 jets in some Coleman spas my good friend. I can do it in my spa.

Yes you if you turn off other jets that are adjustable but Coleman does not make jets that are built for 40 gpm of flow rate. and it is nice to see you....

MSRP on the Vanguard is around $9995 if this helps.

Term

Wow! The dealer in my area is telling people the Vangaurd lists for $11,800 but they can buy it for around 9k.

Does Watkins pubish a MSRP for you?

Term, what HS spa would you compare the Epic with if someone came into your store for a comparison?

Quote

So the Epic would be more than $10,000 on the MSRP? �I'm assuming the Epic is the top of the line Marquis, but it was compared to about the 5th HS in our pecking order?

I'm seriously just trying to figure this out.

Term did you miss this post ?

Term,

for me every tub had strengths and weaknesses. One thing I should clarify we had 6 Marquis to try so it was not just the Epic that we compared to the others. A lot of Marquis people like the Destiny or the Reward best. I love the therapy pillar thats on the Epic, for me theres not a body area that you cannot get to.

Hey Term,

Since Dan seems not be able to answer this question maybe you can.

So is there a big difference in the feel of the double moto massage from whats in the Vanguard than say the Vista ?

Moto and Moto DX are designed to feel the same throughout our product offering.

Ya'll take care...see you Tuesday!

The Epic MSRP is over 13,000. The spas are being held at an undisclosed location, but I'll give you a peek at one of the prisoners

Sorry, I've been out a while.

As Term says, each jet is going to feel about the same across the line. However, the Vanguard is an EE spa, meaning the spa is emphacizing energy effiecency.

Grandee and Vista are HP, meaning bigger pumps, more jets, High Performance.

I know you had several Marquis and only one of each competitor.

What were the other models of competitors sampled?

MSRP from Watkins reflects the spa and cover only. What many dealers do is add on the value of the accessories, freight, delivery, chemicals...which will give a higher MSRP.

hottubdan, I noticed that on the HS website they have the Vanguard listed as a HP model. In fact, they have have attached the HP logo on all the non-classic models. When you go into the pdf they list the Vanguard as EE. I guess it's a typo on the website.

I always thought the Grandee, Vista, Aria, and Envoy were classified as HP models.
