Terminator, Your absoloutely correct on this subject theres alot more to the story though, I strongly urge people do do a little research. I hope this stays on the board and our freedoms of speach upheld as I have posted my BUYER BEWARE 4 times and over 1000 people have read it I can verify to the moderator that all the information is current and correct and there's even more to the story since then. So I hope your point is well taken by every reader coming to this board. "the battle is over all we gotta do is pick up the pieces" (some wise guy once said that) Thanks for posting.

SpaTech I dont believe he heard your question. YOU HAVE TO YELL! Also realizing he now has NOTHiNG to lose by slandering Hot Spring he's getting bold enough to make Quotes on conversations that dont exist. WOW!! and who knows nothing about spas?? I'm blond and I understand it! (well grey)

GGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! Hard to believ but yes I do and I cant tell you as its classified! LOL and you guys are so mean to me Im thinkin I may need more hugs From Veronica and Amanda.

In all fairness to this forum rest assured that the mods are not in any bound to the rule of "if you advertise here you stay here" as one of our very close friends may be a mod here soon!

In all fairness to Hydro Spa when I was selling "another brand of spa" I have seen first hand what the adveres effects of bromine and poor water conditions can cause to the white plastic on the backs of the jets. The bromine if not used correctly will totally disinegrate the entire back assembly of the jets. Solution :maintain water correctly! Of course the answer is always "I maintained it correctly" my response is and had to be "no ya didn't" Keep in mind that many companies use the same jets in their spas with the same outcome :poor water chemistry = disinegrated jets! Good Luck!

LOL! She knows you meant no disrespect, everyone needs hugs now and then! And dont worry I carry a Berretta of my own! And thank you for your compliments towards her! I tell everyone I must be one hell of a salesman! I think Dr.Spa keeps a pic of her on his screensaver as he has pics from last season! LOL see ya next month Doc and yes shes coming too!

Veronica, Hey good news!!! My wife said she agrees the more the merrier, except she then followed it up by saying she was bringing Mr.Bennelli along and for me not to forget her recent marksman scores at the range and that she has recently finished snyper training! All I could say is GULP!!!!!!! LOL

GGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Just when I thaught everything was going just fine Spatech shows up!!! LOL

I agree with Chas also the only way to know is to feel the jets that is all that is important numbers mean absoluetely nothing! every manufacturers plumbing is different with loss and gains of power in different ways so FEEL THE JETS! simple isnt it? And Chas if you so choose you will be in this industry another 2 decades!! Others may not fare so well!!

What may I do to get the 2 of you to hug??

Please appreciate that its not a hard sell as it is a matter of ordering the spas all at once, sure you can wait 'til the dealer gets ready to complete another order and the price will be at or above the $8995 we cannot order these spas one at a time and keep prices down. I totally agree with spatech on the bhp vs continuous hp, however what is important is the power from the jetsit is incredible that is what is important not the numbers that are written the pumps. I am not a fan what so ever of the bhp being touted. Because theres no need for it the power and therapy speaks for itself.

Veronica, For one hon heres a hug for you ((((((huggie squeezie))))))) today I promise to check out the information, after doing so, lets get to the point as your attack on the Doc has caught us off guard and I am sure you would defend your true friends as we do Doc. His track record here is impecable, so please dont feel anyones ganging up on you, lets calmly get to the reason we are all here. How Veronica can we help you with your problem or concerns and make you a happy person again???

Veronica please don't take this the wrong way, So you believe Doc to be affiliated with hydro spas???? Thats a definate NO,As he said he is and has always been here to add balance and we all appreciate his input on every subject. As far as your story about Hydro Spa and your dealings with them. You have made your point!!! We got it!! Now go buy a spa and simply get on with your life, No offense Veronica but this has gone on long enough. Dont ya think? BTW I appreciate you sending people for advice I am always glad to help out where I can.

Ok I give up ! You either live in Colorado, Minnesota or Las Vegas as thats the only markets that are able to order the "Select" series the price on that spa is very good and the prupose on the price is because we buy the slelects in volume they are all the same color they all have the exact same specs and the more we buy the better the price from the factory so obviously your dealer is placing a large order on selects at the end of that 48 hours. Look me up if you have any more questions. And yes Chas is right that price may come around when the dealer is ready to make another large order on specs. The price at $8995 is far lower than our regular sales price. So if you like it buy it if not hold out for the right spa for you, but that is by far our best performing hottub.

YES outback spas another small company with a store in Phoenix and if you look at the spas you will see that they are in a class of their own I recognise the molds as U.S tooling molds , but take a look at the warranties and the quality of construction including the cabinets, however they do seem to have a grasp as to what they are worth as the are less expensive than most brands. I would save my money and go with one of the big players in the industry. I had a customer in Phoenix that had baught the store owners house there and the spa was left with a 1 yr warranty and the board went out and the tech took the pack out and sent it back to the manufacturer of the board for repairs all the while the customer had to wait for this repair to take place before having his tub repaired. this is known as a "pass thru warranty" and is not my idea of customer service. Good luck!

DOC, Many of us on this forum are guilty and would have to be banned as many of us have our own site however I think the positive feedback should could count for something. I know you Chas, Chris and myself as well as many others put in countless hours to help out and research and make this industry shine into something we can all be proud of so if they ban one they will have to ban us all. I believe the amount of advertising to be very minimal and non flagrant, there a special someone who should be banned from here but you are not him Doc. Just my take on the whole thing.

Veronica , Dr Spa has been doing this for a long time so for you to be new here and to the world of spas, I am so insulted that you would come on here and question the mans integrity, I know Dr Spa and he is and has never been desperate. I am now questioning your motives of being on here you come on here wining about your spa and slamming the manufacturer I am starting to understand who is at fault for your unhappiness of the product!! Please refrain from desparaging the professionals here unless you know what it is your talking about! Possibly you may consider why you are here? Evaluate it and maybe move on, but your negative remarks regarding Dr Spa are not warranted or wanted here! With out even researching them I am certain his stats are accurate!!!!

I do not know of anyone who actually considers them competition!!!!!!!

OMG!!! WE AGREE ON SOMETHING!!! WRITE THIS DATE DOWN!!!!!!!!

Absolutely correct! Cal Spas does and L.A Spas did up until last year have fullfoam as an upcharge. I dont know what they are doing now.

I forgot one! Sorry.

I take it your no friend of Steves Veronica?

Back to the subject! Okc Good luck on shimming your tub and happy soaking!

I disagree as I grew up in Idaho where it would drop to 30 degrees below zero for days at a time! Besides I also have some experience here in the winter. However I still have not seen any power outages since I have been here, so I still dont understand the days of downtime as described previous!
