Welcome to our forum.
Maybe it's just me, but I've got a brochure from HS ('05 models) that claims the Grandee is a "Super Energy Efficient Model", whereas their webpage has it listed as a "High Performance Model".....Is it both??All the other tubs are listed the same in the brochure as online....Guess it's just a curiosity thing, since it's not going to change my purchase.
You probably have an older brochure. The website is correct. It is a HP model now except when purchasing the Endural finish.
So I think HS is just making it all up.
The Grandee WAS an EE tub until a mid-year model change. They swapped in Tim the Tool man pumps, re-arranged the plumbing, added twin Moto Massage jets, etc. etc.
There are no Energy Star spas. The federal government has delcined to rate spas. I had a huge battle with my local M*****s dealer several years ago to get him to remove a claim that he got from the manufacturer that their spas were Energy Star rated. Turned out they use a foam from an Energy star company.
Stricly from memory, I could have sworn I saw an Energy Star symbol last year in a Tiger River Brouchure. Checking on line only shows the "E E" rating . I know I have destroyed quite a few brain cells, but damn, I could have sworn i saw it. I will check tonight if i still have the brouchure.
You were tricked, it was a marketing ploy.
In my opinion it does both very well for my wife and I.
