Swell-Tub's New Spa Search

I had the same reaction to the Envoy. That was when I realized that a lounge was not for me. Keep looking, you'll find a good one.

Honestly, no one has ever even brought them up at our stores...unless you count the one's that tell us how much they "love their HotSpring jacuzzi!".

That happens all the time here as well. People referring to spas in general as jazuzzi's.

And Term you don't even have a Jacuzzi dealer close to you do you??

No sir.  There used to be one back in around ought one, but they gone now and tain't been back.

Same old same old around here: Bullfrog, Dynasty, Sunbelt.....and us!

 Well no wonder you sell so many, you have no competition.

Never really have had much, they all kinda come and go and leave behind a few upset customers that can't get parts or service.

By cracky, sold 2 yesterinday and just sold my third one today!

The gentleman that just bought a 2008 Sovereign is trading in his 1984 Sovereign.  He told me he is famous at Watkins as he was actually shocked by his spa when the dealer wired it up wrong, thus precipitating the policy of only having our spas wired by a licensed electrician.

Gotta go!  So mebody here!

So tonight the local Coast Spa dealer called and lowered his offer. He also said he would pay the crane fee. Lots are so small here in Vegas that you have to pay for a crane to raise the spa over your roof into your backyard. So let's hear it. What is wrong or right about Coast Spas out of Canada?

I would tell the Coast guy that you've looked at other spas and are leaning towards one of them.  See if he will drop the price even further.  If he does, DO NOT BUY from him as he is either (a) gouging you to begin with and will continue to do so as long as you have a relationship with him or (b) is extremely desperate and will probably not be around much longer anyway.

Good luck!

GThere is ONE company that does offer a cooling system, but it is an unknown company. I have also heard of an add-on to cool your spa. I do sometimes use my air blower for that reason.

The Arctic Chiller is an add-on cooler for Arctic Spas -- and I'd sure like to think that we aren't an "unknown company".   It might conceivably work for some other brands with perimeter insulation.

WOW. This coming from a competitor's point of view. I think the hardest thing about shopping for a spa in my local market is how bad the dealers bash one another. Not just the tubs but the actual dealers. I do want to know if a tub is not performing well but I sometimes have to listen about personal details about the people and that ain't right.

How many Jacuzzi owners do we have on this site? What do you think of Jacuzzi Spas?

[Chad]

I'd say quite a few. I'm assuming you made a stop at your local Jacuzzi Dealer and they tickled your feathers??  Don't be embarased, they have a tendancy to do that to a lot of people. Me included.  

I'm sure someone has mentioned this before but I'll reiterate. As long as you stick to one of the major players in the game and they're backed by a reputable dealer, the only concerns you should have are price and how they feel during wet tests.

Oh yeah, in case I wasn't clear enough, Jacuzzi is a major player.

What model(s) has caught your attention?

Hi Swell - did you wet test Artesian?  I may have missed that post.  I have an Artesian Piper Glen that we got in Oct 2006.  We love it.....the individual seat controls are a major plus.  We haven't had any problems with ours.  We did a lot of research and wet testing prior to our purchase.  Definitely wet test all tubs that you are interested in.  Check out Jacuzzi and Marquis too if you haven't already.

[Swell-Tub]

I canceled my wet test at Artesian because I received a lot of negative comments about the company. Also doctor said I can't wet test for another 4 weeks because I just had knee surgery. I do have a new Jacuzzi dealer close to my home. I thought I might check then out today.
