Thanks for the info worldboy79. Your stairs placement sounds like a good idea to me. The tub does come with the GFCI Spa Disconnect box, but I was assuming they may have to upgrade the Fuse Box itself in addition. Your electrical work sounds pretty much like what I need done so if they are in the $750 area I will consider it reasonable. As far as your tub, did you go with the ozonator and if so, do you think it is worth it? Also, based on what they are offering in the package for around $6G does that seem to be around what you paid (if you don’t mind me asking)?

Hey endorfin: That was just a ballpark estimate based on what I explained to them. I don't know if the fuse box has enough existing amperage to support the additional 50/60 amps required for the tub line so I think they may need to add that to the box. The tub does come with its subpanel included in the price. If I do not understand the actual wiring required correctly then this explanation will be wrong. I will post back when I get a final quote with the outlined work to be done. Thanks!

Thanks spatech, I had no clue about that. I will have to see what they can do about "the bottom line" and then decide on the ozone. I was also curious as to a ball park estimate for running the electrical. I assume they will need to run up to 35-45' cable max from the Fuse Panel and possibly upgrade the fuse panel as well for the additional amperage, which I assume requires adding a sub-panel to the box. Some of the cable would probably need to be buried but could only be as little as a few feet to get it under a gravel walkway. I was ballpark quoted $500-$900 for this which seem a little high to me on the upper end. (I'm not an electrician so sorry for any terminology blunders)

That's a good point, the lounger will be right where we get in, I didn't think of that. The only problem with the Vanguard/Pulse are too wide (we have 85" max) . . . Your Grandee sounds awesome though!

Hey dark rider, Thanks for the reply, I did not wet test, but given the placement location measurements and our budget this is the best and almost only brand/model that works, with quality reviews, that I could find. I am not real picky when it comes to something like this and the majority of the time it will only be two people with 4-6 only on occasion. I am indifferent about the lounger and assume it would be a bonus since there are really 5 other different seats to choose from. Do you have any negative experience or knowledge about this model or even just having the lounger? Seems like you knew the specs off the top of your head

Hello All, New to the forum and hot tubs in general. We are looking to purchase a new Hot Spot Relay and have received an initial quote from the dealer over the phone, so I wanted to check with you guys and see what you thought about the price. The breakdown is as follows: -New Hot Spot Relay -Cover -Cover Lifter -Delivery to final location (not driveway) -Chemicals Price with Tax: $6,050 I also want to get the ozonator included for that price or even a little cheaper, but I haven’t asked about it yet. If they can do that would you say it’s a good deal and is already a good deal without the ozonator included? Thanks for any opinions!
