dark rider Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 First time hot tub shopper here who has just started gathering dealer/brand information. We're located in Alpharetta (North Atlanta) and just completed a new deck/patio renovation and are looking to compliment the patio section with a hot tub. I've been reading a lot on this forum, and it seems like there is a great wealth of knowledge here... dealers, techs, and users. My wife and I have always wanted a hot tub, but never had the perfect space for one in the past. Budget wise, we'd like to keep it below $7500 if possible. As far as size, I'd like something that could accomodate at least 5 or 6 people, since we're a family of 4, and it's always nice to have a bit of extra space for parties and such. The patio should have enough space to accomodate an 8'x8' or larger... but I'm sure price will be more of a driver. My preference is for more seating and fewer loungers. I see we have several dealers/brands to choose from in the area and most likely will shop them all. The ones I've picked out so afar are Hot Spring, D1, and Marquis. I guess my realtive order of preference for features is as follows: bang for the buck, reliability, size in that order. I'm looking for any and all recommendations, including specific dealers, models, or even other brands I should be looking at. Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Hey James, I didn't even realize you guys were right around the corner. I'll certainly stop in and check out the Sundance line. I just looked on-line, and the Optima, Chelsee, and Hartford look to be the type of configuration I am after. I'll send you an email.

Tech Rep D1 Spas Thanks Dennis! I definitely plan to check out D1 as well. I was impressed by several of your models, including the Lotus Bay (probably out of my price range), Nautilus, Nautique, and Sojourn. I had already looked up the dealer in Marietta and was planning to stop in during the next couple of weeks. I'm probably a month or 2 out from buying at this point, unless I find an unusually good deal, but you can certainly forward my information and let them know what I'm interested in.
