And if you want to "exscape" the winter weather, you could deliver it in person!  I'd be most happy to make it real cheap and comfortable for you once you got here (except you'd have to stoop to soaking in an MS! ;D)

I could do that but I would have to be careful not lean against the panels! ;) ;D 8)

Find out if they use bolts in that there metal frame or bolts. Because a bit of vibration...and either one may, well never mind I am sure you have though of that. I wonder which resonates more? Which of course would relate to more noise.

I do like the concept but I think more work needs to be done to perfect a "steel" frame. Plastic would be better. Re-cycled even better. .030 metal formed in an angle support, bends easier than a 2x2

Coleman is quieter with the pumps on high than any spa I have encountered. I guess they weld it.

Just like when a toddler is naughty...

Negative attention is attention....Can't imagine it sells many spas.

Well besides this site, I do not typically hear to many negatives about the Arctics. Quite the opposite actually. And yes, Arctic is selling plenty of spas.

I really only hear negatives about their sales tactics. This not only comes from dealers but also from many customers that have posted on these sites about their experiences relative to what Arctic sales approach is. That says nothing about their quality as I really don't remember much/any negatives about the spas themselves. It’s great that you/they are selling a lot of spas. That puts you right in line with other spa makers who are selling a lot of spas i.e. Hot Springs, Sundance, Jacuzzi, Marquis, Caldera, D1, Master, Beachcomber, Dynasty, etc.

Actually there was a lot of negative on Arctic last year on spa search until Arctic reps and dealers flooded that forum and verbally abused anyone disagreeing with what they did. I free that is what is going on here.....

If you look at the end of the url on most of the spasearch postings several of them all come from the same place with different names...

Many of the posts that started out there as something else completely ended as an Arctic debate(kinda like this topic). Sounds like this form of marketing is working for you guys..... :o

 Stuart, please go back and read this again, Arctic was brought up by someone other than an Arctic guy. I simple asked questions, which were ignored.  I have to disagree.

I don't think I would give metal an advantage over wood framing on a spa. It's simply a non issue.

Metal is used in construction for different reasons than longevity or strenght, it's fire rating. In the sense of metal studs I mean. Metal does however make better bridges! But wood makes a better deck!

The questions in this thread that you asked that were not answered were the ones regarding the ratings for Carmen and Jessica.

If I missed a question, please ask it again.

To clarify, I said steel is not NECESSARILY stronger than wood.  Steel CAN be stronger, but also CAN be weaker.  It comes down to weight, design, etc.  Wood can outlast steel and steel can outlast wood.  There are many variables.  Houses are still mainly built from wood even though there are steel alternatives.  Even steel beams are being shunned for engineered wood.  In some applications, wood is a better alternative than steel and vice versa.

The pie is certainly spread out but not every slice is as appetizing as the next.
