Many manufacturers use "off the shelf" jets.  Does Coleman currently? ;)

Coleman Has went back to bearing jets if I remember correctly for 2007

Nope, just got a 2007 model 471.  No bearings.

And, BTW, Coleman was MUCH higher on my list than HS when I was seeking my tub...

Even Phoenix was rated higher than HS on our wet-tested list. Much more comfortable and better therapy, nicer cabinet etc. The only one we rated lower than HS was Master Spas.

I'm sure the craftsmen at Phoenix have few peers.....

let's be quite assured that this isn't a picture of the Coleman Spas fine state of the art manufacturing plant in Chandler Az.  This is some other manufacturer out there.  How this thread degenerated into insults against other spa builders is amusing. let the buyer beware......but most people like there hot tubs to be comfortable and should one be more comfy than the other hey it is a fair opinion voiced by a consumer.  let the buyer beware of the guy who does protest too much.........wet test wet test wet test.....

Aw, Term's ok.   He loves his product like any competent dealer should.   Let's face it,  HS is the Charmin of toilet tissue.   ;)

But, after all the advice that is given to you here,  and there is a ton of it,  mostly good,   some of it prejudiced, especially against competitors with different design philosophies,   you will find that Coleman is a brand that must be looked at as its value compared to the otherbig name brands is comparable to none.

 :-? :-? :-?

I posted pics of the Phoenix Spa Factory and stated that their craftsmen have few peers.

Here's one of the HotSpring factory in Vista, CA, if it'll make you feel better:


Sorry for the aggravation.

How this thread degenerated into insults against other spa builders is amusing.

Retracing the posts, it appears that BAJA1027 got the ball rolling by posting less than favorable information about a Coleman dealer.

The next possible insulting post I read (and I may have misinterpreted the intent) was loosenupspas remark about "oh yeah I forgot...silly boy....only one way is right and hs (HotSpring?) is it.

The next possible insulting post was Neptuner's comment that "When someone says arrogance in the business world I immediately think of 3 companies: IBM, Microsoft and HotSpring."

So, 1 negative post about Coleman, possibly 2 at this point against HotSpring.  Reading...reading....some more opinions.....opinions....that brings us up to this point.

It IS amusing! :)
