Know one will know until January 18th – 20th.  

They are having their own dealer conference that week.  I guess they think they are special. However, the main reason why they are having their own is because when Hotspring goes to a national pool and spa show they really do not accomplish anything due to the large amount of people that go through their display just to see what they have done for the next year.

Don't expect many changes from this past year.

If I remember correctly, HS introduced MANY changes in the 2004 line.  Maybe they want to let these changes settle in and make sure everything maintains well, before adding more features.

Just a guess.

If they make changes like in the past the spas will be pretty much the same for the next ten years.

Ed is right, with the sheer number of changes HS made last year there will be a fair amount of in-field adjustment for a period. If they make any big changes my guess is it would be to revamp one of the new changes they've already made. Sometimes no amount of planning or testing can tell you how something will do in the market or how it will perform over time. The good thing with HS is they always step up to the plate...

I started spa shopping just this year, and bought a HS Vista.  I was at my dealer the other day and saw a 2 year old used Grandee he was selling and I could not believe the huge difference in looks between my new spa and the older one.  Glad I waited.

Hey Stuart I have read a quite a few of your post and you are one smart dude. Maybe we will meet someday and swap stories (I will buy the beer).

Actually, Gary has been posting for about 3 months longer than I have and I swapped stories with him quite a bit last year on spasearch.org. He’s a service tech from GA and is pretty blunt and to the point most of the time but seems very experienced! I have a hard enough time keeping up with one user name and one forum. Some of you post on several boards, I rarely have time to post anywhere but here and keep a presence!

I still post on spasearch occassionally, I find the lag time a little frustrating...I guess that is how they moderate. Chas lead me to new one recently. He is currently in a debate with JA on UL/ETL/ANSI.......
