WhyNot: You sure do know how to stir up a nice quiet saturday evening.
I'm sellin' the Envoy and buyin' a Marquis.
Who knew?
What's the web address for www.craigslist.com? ;)

That was my first reaction...old information. When I purchased my spa in 2002, Marquis used circ pumps and had what I thought was the ugliest spa available. In 2003 they completely revamped their lines and have become a strong competitor. I just chalk that info up to sales misinfo that is tilted greatly to one side. ;D

Bye again! ;D

I have only sold Marquis and they used to use to a side by comparison guide but stopped 4 years ago, again exactly the way the auto business does. It was for sale people to see where and how your product stacked up. I must say its a lot of work to dig something like this up or I would think it would be. but hey if you want to I guess its good.....has anyone looked at a certain makers current or here in the now owners guide recommendation for ozone maintenance, it stops just short of suggesting you hire a haz mat team to come and help you....I wonder would it be of any help to anyone to post it here.....hummmmmmmmm no probably not.

Very interesting. The concept is fine but there are a few areas where the Marketing people act like .... Maketing people.
One thing that I found odd was the full foam comparison. It states what Marquis does for their full foam/e-wrap and then for the other guys it says full foam has "no bacteria inhibitor". Now if Marquis has a bacteria inhibitor then I understand the point that the others don't but it doesn't say they do. If Marquis doesn't use an inhibitor then the statement that the others don't is so wrong to make because it makes it seem like they're leaving somtheing important out. It was poorly worded, one way or the other.
There are other ones too that make me chcukle a bit as I can see where someone got a bit creative with the wording but what the heck, it's their comaprison sheet and I guess this just reminds me that I'd be no good in Marketing.

spa tech,
this is the foam that is used by Marquis and well you can read it for yourself....this is taken from the foam makers web site
"As an integrated insulation and air barrier, Icynene effectively minimizes air leakage and accompanying moisture (air leakage accounts for as much as 99% of moisture movement in a structure). So effective is Icynene at minimizing condensation, moisture build-up, and the growth of mold or mildew, the product is often specified for use in museums, art galleries, and libraries where condensation control is critical to preserving the integrity of valuable collections."

looks like you got our new guide and the teacher at our "Top Gun" school. did you have a mole in class... ;)
it really was a great class, we all got gold chains, cigs, a big emblem that says "just pimpin in My Marquis" to hang around our necks.
-
Someone has way too much spare time. This really should be in the BS section.
-
Icynene is an awesome product which marquis to my understanding has only been using for the past little while good switch though to take a page from the Canadian tub builders like Beachcomber and Pacific who have been around for over 30 yrs
Ah the internet is there anything you cant find??

If they'd had some small blurb on that the other comment would have made more sense. I just wasn't sure which side needed to be explained better.

I was just goin' to ignore you(as that's what a comment like yours deserves) but I couldn't resist. Don't you find it kind of strange that you're the only one who feels this way so far? I think what needs to be in the BS forum is you. You can go run along and play now, maybe someone will follow.
Btw, real men make direct criticism. They don't use words like "someone". Just come on out and say it. You're not gonna hurt my feelings, I promise.

Not very much work at all.
I wasn't lookin' for it. I stumbled upon it when I was doing a google search for Proclear Ozonators.

I make those judgements around here! Bucking for my job?
Look at it this way. You know how they invented the concept of midnight basketball? It kept the teenagers out of trouble and off the streets. If you could see the list of dealers in this thread right now, you would understand the comparison.
-
You know, this is a subject that has moved me to respond. These side by side comparisons are a dime a dozen. I see them in many different industries. Its a sells tool. For anyones information, you can take just about any product and cross compare them and show big differences. Most of your major manufactures make very good products. If they didn't, they would be long gone. I don't own a Hot Springs but I think they make fine products, as does Marquis,Beachcomber,Sundance,Pacific and on and on. This is what drives the industry to make better and better products. You must consider all things when buying a tub. I won't list them but you know what these are. You can nit pick Chevy and Ford and Lexus all day long but at the end of the day you will know which one you like. It maybe just the sales person that did it. I have seen a change in selling from dealers not attacking others and selling their product as it is. Don't worry about you getting the perfect tub. Its not out there. Get the one you feel good about. ;) Bill, your sig line, made me lol. ;D I did a bunch of comparison shopping over the weekend Click to see what I was shopping for. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r2/galen1115/CTS08.jpg

Very nice! 8-)
Is that the color you're leaning towards? I like it!

Hmmm, Chad the car show is coming to KC next week. And they will have the CTS-V their also. Which has the corvette Z06 engine in it. You have to file a flight plan to drive it! I'm going to just see the V. But the colors are not set until production starts. Thats not red. You should see the Mica. OMG. Did you notice they are bringing back CHROME? You know what I like the most? It doesn't look Euro, it has its own look. You like it or you don't. Sorry I high jacked. Back on subject of Hottubs, you can compare all day long and still find something just as nice around the corner.

Here's my baby. It's the same color as my tub's shell. :)

Comparisons can be skewed to favor the one doing the comparison, of course.
I recently heard a radio advertisement compairing cars. The bottom line was that Acura and Toyota don't offer 17" alloy rims, nor do they offer some sort of special stain-resistant cloth seats. Chrysler does.
Of all the things to NOT make a buying decision on, 17" alloy rims and stain-resistant fabrics are not going to be high on my list.
Same with some of the most-agrued-about items here on this board.
Go with things like comfort, performance and style. Notice that you really can't put any of those items on a comparison chart, you really have to decide on those for yourself.
