What is the price you are able to get on the Caspian?

You seem to be the Hot Springs guy. How often will I need to drain the Caspian or the Mallorca? Why does this have to be done with a hot tub and not with a pool? Finally, except for obvious things like warranty and seating, how would you compare the TR Caspian with the Hot Spot Mallorca? Thanks again!

Thanks! What about upkeep? How often will I have to replace the filters?

Can someone tell me why the Caspian has two jet pumps and the Bengal only one? There isn't that big a difference in the number of jets. Also, I keep reading that with the Watkins spas all jets cannot be run at once. Does this mean they won't run all at once or that the pressure won't be as strong? With the Caspian will both jet pumps run at one time? Finally, how often will I be replacing filters with these spas? Thanks. This forum is a great learning tool.

OOps! Not Azurite. I guess that's a color. It's the Hot Spot Mallorca that looks to me like the Caldera Olympia.

What is the difference between the Caldera Olympia and the Hot Spot Azurite? They look just alike to me. Are they decent tubs? Also, what is the deal with Caldera/Hot Springs? One guy told me that Watkins bought Caldera but that the Hot Springs and Caldera tubs are nothing alike. Another guy told me they come off the same assembly line.

That is the price that I can buy it for in NC

ok. thanks.

I can get a Marquis 630 for $6200 or a Tiger River Caspian for $6700. Is either a decent deal? Which is a better buy? If someone can explain the difference in filtering systems I'd appreciate that too. What is monthly operating cost for each? Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what my cost should be for either the Marquis Ultimate 630 or the Tiger River Caspian? I'm in North Carolina.

I have, at least for the moment, narrowed my search to these brands. Can anyone offer information to help make the decision between the Tiver River Caspian, Marquis Ultimate 630 and Vita Spas Nuage? I know to wet test. What else should I consider? Thanks. This forum has been a big help so far.

Has anyone in the Triangle area of North Carolina had particularly good (or bad) experiences with dealers that you can tell me about? We are doing our best to wade through all the information. We really like the Marquis dealer but find the tubs too deep. Sundance, Hot Springs or Tiger River seem to be reasonable alternates but the salesman was pushy. We're looking for full foal insulation, no loungers, good lighting, uncomplicated pump system to run during off peak, not 24/7. Thanks!

We have been hot tub shopping for several months and remain confused. At this point I think we want closed cell, full foam insulation. We really only want one pump that we can put on a timer to heat the water during off-peak hours. I like the Marquis but find it too deep. We range in heights from 5'4" to 5'10". In our area we have Marquis, Hot Springs, Sundance, Dynasty, Dimension 1, Caldera. We'll use it mostly for recreation. I don't want a lounger. I do want a waterfall, lighting, cover lift, quality cover, ENERGY EFFICIENCY! Who can make a recommendation? I'd especially appreciate info on the Dynasty as I haven't been able to find out much about that one. Thanks!
