Title: Newbie - Buying Help
Post by: Taddtx on June 03, 2007, 12:00:46 pm
I know alot of the buying decissons are subjective.  But...   We have looked at a local Rec Warehouse at their Leisure Bay Line.  Was considdering the Leisure Bay Santo @ almost 5K delivered.  

It has 16 jets, which seems like a small number when I look at some other models.  But then I hear from some sales men, that the number of jets is not that important as the horsepower driving them.  (but then why would they put 40+ jets in some).

Im looking for a spa that will hold 4 to 5, with a lounger.

I plan on spending about 5K, and right now feel like im dealing with used car sales men.  I have read what I can find on the net, but not all that helpful.

any advise would be appreciated...   Im in the Dallas -FT Worth Area, if anyone is local, or knows local dealers.

Actually, neither is the important part. Would you rather have 100 jets driven by a 200hp pump, none of which feel good, or 2 jets driven by a .75 hp pump that give you the most perfectly feeling massage you could ever want?
