I have found that http://www.spastore.com has really good prices. They also charge 1 shipping rate, whether you buy 1 bottle or 100.

The person who we just bought our hot tub from recommended an electrician that they use all the time. He came out and installed the circuit all the way from the breaker panel all the way to the tub. This included the sub-panel for $570.00. He was here for maybe an hour and a half. The total length was approximately 50 foot. Now all we need is for our hot tub to be delivered. It should be here within a week. Sorry to hear how much you had to pay. I would say you definitely got ripped off.

First, why would you want this? Just get an above ground pool, much cheaper. It would be a bad idea because you would not have the sand packed around the edges, a pool installed this way would constantly be unlevel. Every time the ground shifted, froze, etc it would shift. I don't even think it could be filled without leaning to one side. Just not a practical good idea. But, that is my opinion. I am not a pool installer, just an engineer.

Well, we just finished buying our new spa. We ended up getting a Hot Spring Envoy. We saw it and loved it, we got it in the Champaign with exspesso color. We feel we got a really good price and can not wait. Problem is it could take 5 weeks, can't wait.

We have also been told we should consider the Caldera, as it is a combination of the Hot Springs and the Marquis. The powerful 2 pumps plus a circulation pump. The only bad thing I can see is it only uses 1 filter.

One more thing...are the stainless steel jets any better than the normal ones?

When we owned our last Hot Springs tub, my husband and I were always wanting different jets on. We had to take turns with what jets we turned on. He had his favorite jets and I had mine. Does anyone know if the Marquis allows all the jets to be turned on at the same time? We like having a circulation pump. There are always going to be things you like and dislike about each brand. I hear you guys....Wet test is important. Thanks for all the good input.

My husband and I are going next week to buy a hot tub. We are trying to decide between the Hot Spring (Vanguard) or the Marquis (Destiny). We use to have a Hot Spring and were very happy with it. Does anyone have any comments on the Marquis to help with our decision?

Yes, we have several ledges all around the pool. We are going try using some kind of float to make it lighter to see if that works any better. It cleans the bottom really good. Thanks!

We have a Viking fiberglass pool and we just bought a Dolphin Pool Cleaner and they say it is suppose to climb walls. It will start up the wall, but can't get up the wall. Has anyone else had this problem.
