Hello folks,
I'm new to the world of swim spas. I'm looking into an 8 X 20 or so for installation on ground alongside my existing 5' high deck, which I will then add to to surround the swim spa. Local dealers around here (Boston) are in the $20K area for the unit.
The approximate prices I've received so far from some internet research are:
-Florida North (New York) @ $13,800 hard cover/delivered (hard quote)
-Glimmerglass (New York) @ about $9,700 hard cover/delivered/spa pack, requires extra reinforcement if not put in ground, plus another $1500 w/shell insulation
-Ordini's (PA) @$10,000 plus hard cover and delivered (maybe $2k?? more)
Florida and Ordini's are pretty much delivered completely assembled (or so they say), Glimmerglass needs the spa pak attached/assembled after drop off.
No real dealers around here though (Boston) for these brands if service is needed, and I'm told if I didn't buy from a local dealer, I'll have trouble getting service. Florida and Glimmerglass say they'll send someone if a repair is needed, this is surprising????? Don't know abut Ordinis (Ocean Reef and Outer Banks manuf.)
Anyone heard of any of these dealers, good or bad????
Any suggestions to help a new guy in this area?? Thanks again.
Ed
