Hoopy, I have a thread going on also (Tiger River V. HS). Just trying to gather as much info as I can as you are doing. What led you to consider the HS Sovereign over the other HS models? Also, did the dealer have any TR spa's? If so, what was your impression and/or what did the dealer say regarding the two brands? Lastly, I'll be interested to know what you finally decide on. Thanks.

Jim, for the sake of closure, which spa brands do you recommend, outside of haven spas. Another way to ask this, as everything can have a breakdown here and there, is which spas in your service center do you service less frequently? Also, as it is apparent you are no fan of FF spa's, in particular HS, why would a consumer come to you for warranty service if there are many local dealers. I'm just asking for the straight information and not some response that includes the conspiracy of the major SoCal manufacturers ripping Joe Consumer off. Thanks.

What do you have against expert information? ...nothing...I don't want to make enemies or hurt feelings, but please stay out of these postings Jim, I'd rather not read the "rant"...

I hope I didn't insinuate that I wanted only responses from consumers....I would love to hear what the salespeople/dealers have to say. Thanks. Eke

I just started looking this past weekend for spas. I went to a HS dealer and had only a brief time to speak with a salesperson. I was drawn toward the TRS Caspian, but also the HS Grandee and Vanguard. Is the TRS built with the same quality as the HS spas? (Spare me the comments Jim). I know it's the same "maker", I just wondered if the technology, parts and filtering were of the same quality. I've checked out many of the posts and I appreciate all the good information out there. One thing I will do for certain is a wet test. Thanks for your input. There are some solid and knowledgeable salespeople out there. Besides the salespeople, are there any consumers who have some experience with the Tiger River Spas? Thanks in advance for your inputs.
