Ya Splash_, it really looks like the salesman was pulling a fast one on me by telling me the truth.........LOL But anyways, I figured on spending $50/mth to run a tub in our cold climate, so anything below that is a bonus, but I find anything under $100 to run a tub is a bonus and a benefit that I am willing to trade to at least have a tub to soak in at my leisure. Yes, I may have spent a little bit more for the name of a Hot Springs tub, but I would rather spend a bit more on a company name for a company that will be around to back the 5 yr warrantee.

Cost really doesn't matter to me & if you actually READ my post, it doesn't say anything about a cost/month guarantee. I just did my research and shopping and wanted (one of) the best spas on the market, and especially for real winter months. But maybe if you cant afford to pay to heat/run it, maybe you cant afford it in the 1st place.

Before we ordered our new Grandee spa, we had asked that question of cost per month to run it seeing how we will be using it in the winter and live in Saskatoon, Sask Canada where we get very cold temps in the winter. We were told that if we had the usual -20 to -30 C temps in Jan/Feb the Grandee would cost no more than about $25/month. This is due to the excellent insulation factor and that the HotSpring spas are expected to be run in winter months.
