  1. Thanks for your response. I did wet-test the Hot Spring Grandee, and that is what I felt was too under-powered. IMO, the moto-massage seat was particular was a waste of space. So although both the Sundance and D1 dealers have on the show-floor the corresponding units I am interested in (Aspen and Amore Bay respectively), they don't currently have them filled with water so I am unable to wet-test them. In fact, the D1 guy flat-out refused to fill the Amore Bay. (said something about not being able to sell the tub as "new" if it has water in it. But I did wet-test the D1 Nautilus and Californian models, and the Sundance Optima models. With that being said, I'm leaning towards the Amore Bay, but I just hate to buy anything this expensive without being able to wet-test the exact model. In the ozone + chlorine + silver mineral cartridge, how often would I need to add chlorine? Would that just be once a week to shock it, or is something I would need to add after every use?
  2. Hi Everyone. This will be my second hot tub purchase. Previously I had a Jacuzzi 335 and I really like the power of it. There were several seats that really just knocked the crap out of me (when I had the diverters configured just right), which I really like/want. I've tried Hot Springs, but that seems like lack the power that I'm looking for. So next I tried D1, Jacuzzi, and Sundance. The Jacuzzi was OK, but I think I'd like to have a different brand this time, so that leaves it between D1 and Sundance. For D1, I'm considering the Amore Bay, which seems like it is one of their top of the line models. For Sundance, I'm looking at the Aspen (880 series). The D1 sales guy keeps talking about how the combination of the ozone + UV + mineral system (Vision?) basically allows me to use little to know chlorine and still maintain a perfectly clean and balanced tub. I don't know how much of this is marketing BS vs. fact. On my old Jacuzzi, I used a Bromine system, which I thought was super easy (basically once I did the initial set-up, I just shocked it once a week and of course checked the other chemical measurements). I remember that I had decided on going with Bromine since it didn't require the daily addition of chlorine. If I went with what the D1 guy is recommending (ozone + UV + mineral), would I need or be able to use bromine? How would that work? Would the D1 method require adding something after every time I use it? Also, are there any Amore Bay or Aspen owners out there that can share their perspective on either of these two models? Thanks.
