  1. It depends - on the electrician, the cost of copper, the weather, the electrician's kid's college tuition, etc. We got two quotes - the first one was $1400 and the second one was $450. Go figure. I'm hoping for something in-between. I'll let you know. My electrican is charging me $1050 for a 240 V 50 map service. Mike T
  2. Dear Easygoer13 Thanks for the heads up. While I haven't done an exhaustive search, I was surprised that the smaller spas have say a 5/3 warrenty compared to the large units which have a 10/5 year warrenty? Decided to go with the 240 volt option with $1000 to the electrician for the wiring upgrade. Also went with the constant clean, ozonator and the larger pump for better jet performance. The wife and I are short so I am expecting deep soaking from this deep spa. Mike T
  3. I am contemplating buying a hot tub for my wife and myself. I have narrowed the choose to the Marquis Envy, Jacuzzi J210, Cal Spa VX 520R, Solana RX and Coast Spa Geneva. My biggest concerns are assuring comfort, getting good shoulder soaking and quick heat up time. From what I have read so far, neither of these units appears much different from each other. I wanted to ask you on your experience with the Marquis Envy regarding my concerns? Mike T Mike I suggest going 220/240 for faster heating times. 110/120 maintains the temp all right but I can tell in the winter it will cool quickly while using it. My wife and I have found the Envy to be a perfect 2 person spa. This is not a lounging tub, but you can still stretch out if you want to. You just wont get back support. I have good shoulder coverage. I am 5' 11" 200 lbs. The water level rises over the water filter housing when you get in, as it is designed to do. There are some upgrades for this model. I wouldn't upgrade to a 160GPM pump. The 120 GPM does just fine for me. I do wish I would have gotten the built in chemical cartridge upgrade feature but the frog is only a bit of a hassle. Bendite Bendite Thanks for in the info. I decided to get the 240 volt upgrade, the 2 lb insulating cover, ozonator, the constant clean filter and the 160 GPM pump. I don't want to skimp on good features which all of them are. I believe deep soaking was worth the deeper tub than most other units. Both the wife and I are 5'7'' and expect the kind of soaking we want. Mike T
