I don't know yet. I was taking Ol' Meanness to get her sonogram when I saw their tent and spas. No one was there.
I'll go visit with them later.

Thank you Brooke.
He is expected on October 27th.
I thought that sucker had a tail, but the nurse lady said "No, that is his boy part". That was a relief.

Your snide comments towards TP and Coleman don't make you or Sundance look any better.............

Marquis did it both ways. It was obvious to them which way had less leaks. That's Marquis, not Sundance!
My "agenda" in this case must be to shine the light on a company that changed their design so they make the best possible spa for their customers as opposed to coming up with the best possible story to support their design.
I have no beef with Coleman. I don't think they are a bad tub. I do think it's inexcusable to have parts rusting like that.(whether it be her Coleman or the speakers on Viper Dudes Emerald)
The comment was made in jest and directed at Vanissa, she gave it a LOL so I'm O.K. with it, if you're not, I'm O.K. with that too.

Why don't you get out in the field and work on a half dozen different brands of spas and tell me how and why a full foamed spa is better than Coleman.
I sell full foam as well.......I also work on both full foam and thermal pane.....Full foam spas can leak.....So can thermal pane.....
I've been in this business a long time. When a dealer can succesfully sell both TP an FF in the same showroom you know your selling a spa on it's benifits. Not selling one because you can trash talk technology and a manufacturing process that your brand doesn't use.
Every major spa manufacturer has some dark years that they went through. The spa industry is really in it's infancy compared to say the auto industry. They've all come a long way in the last decade. I've sold Coleman for over a decade and have never been prouder to sell them.
Quit snipping at Coleman and start bragging about Sundance. Who BTW are owned by Jacuzzi, the other brand that I sell..... :

One cool thing about Marquis is that they have tried many different things in spas, for instance circulation pumps or not fully foaming the spa, whereas many companies have just done it one way since the beginning and are reluctant to change. The one thing that I will say about the full foam versus TP debate, why would a manufacture spend money on foam and labor on spraying that foam if they could get away without it? Obviously Marquis tried it and it wasn't the best possible product for the customer so they made a change.
It's like watching a train wreck that I just can't turn away from
Full Foam debate..TP is cheaper to manufacturer and that's why companies like...Coleman use it....
Fact....Since the 80's, Coleman has been manufacturing and perfecting technology called thermal pane.
1. Coleman offers a 5 year warranty on plumbing including 5 years on leaks, jets, diverters,ect. Plumbing is plumbing, no matter if you can see it or not.
a..If that technology was so inferior wouldn't Coleman go broke on warranty calims.
b..I applaud Marquis for deciding to start to full foam the spas they manufacture. Looking at that picture from an 8 year old tub, I will tell you that they were not doing TP the same way that Coleman was at that time....
c..Don't compare an 8 year old TP Marquis to a Coleman and tell me they changed their manufacturing process because they realizied Full Foam was better for the customer, although much more expensive for them to produce.
This is all fluff....( not the word I wanted to use )
Call me a crazy, but I'd like to think one day, we could sell our own spas on their own merits, comfort, therapy, and reliability.

spahappy,
I agree with you....I think the jabs at others products is not needed.....I fully agree that if someone is lying about something than they should be called on it...but to take unsolicited shots at others is not professional and EVERY SPA at there has room for improvements...I am proud to sell Marquis I think top to bottom you simply cannot find a better spa but I think and except that everyone here feels the same way about they represent and if not they should....

I never mentioned Coleman. Did you?
I made a sarcstic(granted) comment about the obvious truths that MARQUIS discovered in the course of business. NEVER mentioned Coleman, NEVER mentioned Sundance. If you took offense it has more to do with you than with my comments.
Me thinks thou protest too much!!
