ok I wanted one for a while, my neighbor wanted to give me her old one, after looking at it I decided to buy a new one instead( she had a vita like 15 years old in bad shape)
my question are, what do I look for when I go into a store, how many jets?, what brand pump, or horse power , I have seen a couple of diferent brands, caldera , Jacuzzi, hot springs and signature, this last one was the most affordable one , but I just did not like the sales
person, it started with price of $5200 and before we left he was offering it for $3800 if we paid cash
I think the Jacuzzi was the j325 the j335 and the caldera was the tarino, don't remember the hotspring since it was the most $$ and we did not want to spend that much,
also the other question is if theres a difference in the 220 v to the 110v, I live in south florida, the coldest it gets here is around 50f and that's for about 2 or 3 weeks , I don't want to have to get out of the hot tub because the temperature drops to fast in the 110, but Isales person says that what you lose its minimal, maybe a degree in a n hour
thanks for the help, tomorrow I am looking at Nordic and bullfrog, also Costco has home and garden spas that look the same for $4000 as well as lifesmart, are they any good?
and one last question, if asking price is $7000( example) am I supposed to negotiate like when buying a car or that's pretty much the price, I am leaning towards the Jacuzzi just cause they have a 60 month 0 % interest, vs caldera 36 months

Start reading...a lot. There's so much to look at out there.
And no matter what you decide...WET TEST before dropping any money.
