Marquis Man

I think they should let it sway there decision...because circ pumps do create less wear on the main pump which is now being used for filtering, heating and jets. This is also a less efficient way to run a hot tub because of it...Marquis wasnt bought out that long ago and when they were they took the circ pump out. 3 main hot tubs are hot springs sundance and d1, all use circ pumps...but marquis does not. They also dont use pillows, or a wier system. Marquis sales people are always telling funny stories of what people do or don't like but really Marquis tries to reinvent the wheel to make themselves different and if the story is told by a strong enough sales person it will sell. You really should only make rebuttals on items you know about and it is apparent spas are not that. You state circ pump creates less wear on the main pump, I can say circ pump adds another part to the spa and all the manufacturers know the Laing 909 are one of the higher warranty items. Less Efficient you say, at .10 cents a kilowatt hour a circ pump will cost approximately $4.50 a month the run, our filtering pump will cost about $4.50 a month the big difference being is in that month we filtered 720,000 gallons that month and the circ system filters 302,400 gallons. We filter more water for roughly the same money so who is more efficient? Yes we were bought by the employees on 1999. We offer pillows as an option, as no one warrants pillows past delivery we chose to be up front with customers so they have no misunderstanding that they are part of the spa warranty. You say we do not use a weir system, do you even know what a weir is for, it is designed to help break the surface tension of the water to aid in filtering. If you look at our system we skim right at 60" of surface area most everyone else does 12".

The jets are rated in Gallons Per Minute (GPM) and all the adjustable jets have the option of a spinner type jet. Gary

The 25 dollar guarantee just shows how confident they are about their tub since even if power rates in a city are double or triple what they are in another city, they will still make their 25 dollar guarantee and stand by it. Now that's confidence! Come on guys how about a little honesty, no manufactures guarantees operating cost, there are too many variables involved to make such a claim. If energy cost is important to you ask the dealers for some customer referrals and ask the people that are actually using the spa and come up with an average.

That is a loaded question, no matter how good a manufacture is we all have warranty departments. If you stick with one of the major manufacturers the odds are in your favor that you will little to no problems.

No offense but by your comments you know nothing about Marquis. We could go back and fourth all day about circ pump or no circ pump but bottom line are thought is the more water you filter the easier time you will have with your water. We filter 3,600 gallons an hour compared to 420 gallons in a circ pump system. Both ways can work when done correctly and potential customers should not let the different ways sway their purchasing decision. 99.9% of the time if someone is have water quality issue it is them causing the problem not the spa. All manufactures have people that have a hard time with the water and we all have people that think it is the greatest thing.

I have sent Rodney a message to acquire some details as his comments made me wonder. The first thing was the amount he paid, this leads me to believe it was a blemished model or a trade in as $7,000 is quite less than the going price for a Reward 38 months ago. Either way the spa would not have a full warranty. The other thing is if he did receive a 36 month warranty with that spa and it is two months outside of that the warranty has expired. Gary
