Well went to 2 pool stores store and one recreation store.
first pool store had hot spring hot spot. tx ($3900.) sx ($4900) and relay they could put us in for $5900.
#2 pool store walk out poor salesman.
#3 recreation store. we went to look at a artesian island santa cruz because of the same sizes as the hot spot tx and sx. never got a price on santa cruz because salesman said it would take 3-4 months to get it and we would not like it.. they had the south sea 532L for $5600. but wait salesman said he could put us in a new design for 2013 south sea 735L for $5900. well after getting home and looking on web site the 735L is not even listed so i'm think discount model.
The hot spring store was not pushing to sell any to us, just comparing first the TX and SX what we went to look at, and I see the relay and they quoted us the price on it and that was it we were looking at the sx and tx. now the sx comes 110 volts but for $250 extra they would change too 220 volts and throw in a 220 volt spa gfi breaker box.
all the tubs came with 3 months supply of chemicals,cover, lifter and steps. free deliervy. the TX model no cover lifter.
On the 3 small tubs what do you think. we are just looking for a 2 or 3 person tub. I just went on island spas site to get a quote on there santa cruz.
what do you think. sorry for the spelling and writing.
