Welcome to our forum.
Bump! For those of you in the shopping/negotiating stage
ZZtop, you're only informed from a biased slant here. You chose to take that slant as you are probably a full foam owner too. Yet you go to great lengths to talk down thermopane technology. You must have owned them before to make such opinionated statements. Just wondering, what brands of spas have you owned over your life? I on the other hand, am a minority voice on this board. That's ok, because in a way this has become a "semi-cause" for me as it irks the hell out of me, day after day, to see this bias run rampant on this board. It only serves to disserve the spa buying public who come here.All of the biased rant is heresay and untrue in my opinion. I too, owned a full foam spa, ignorant of it's technology until the great leak started. I too, took it upon myself to research and find out more about what I was getting into before slapping down $8000 for a new tub. My conclusions differ from yours. That's cool. A full foam tub works. We know that. The thermpane technology is newer and comes in a variety of forms. In my research, I learned that my electric bill would not be higher by going with a thermopane. I also learned that if/when my spa leaks, it will be much easier to fix than a full foam. I learned that metal framing is available now to. I know from experience, that a wood frame will not last when exposed to a leak over time. So I knew what I wanted. I found what I wanted from Coleman. All you full foam forum members can lambast these technologies all you want. That's your right. But I will also take it upon myself to counterpoint your bias so that the spa shopping public does not get misled. Good day to you sir.
ZZ, good to see you are back. You will see that I have been trying to lobby for you to win an award for the post that has the most reads. 10 000 is not that far away. I must say I did feel slighted when I was ommitted from the thankyous. Maybe when you get your award I will be mentioned.
Underthestars! Why bump? This got so off topic by page 3 and by page six was just a way for regulars to up their post count. OOPS I guess thats what I just did
