freezin Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hello, new guy looking to buy a new hot tub...I have looked at a few and have been over whelmed with the knowledge from this place.... It is just for my wife and me... This one looks like the best candidate for our needs...any info good or bad....NO DEALERS PLEASE you guys / gals are too biased towards your own products.....Thanks for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteyboy Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 How about a service tech - I do work for a dealer though. The TX is a good spa. The control box is very reliable. It is very low on failure rate compared to the other spas I've worked on. It's very efficient also. The one thing to think about would be the size. I personally like to move around in the spa a lot. The TX doesn't have the room for that. If you are the type of people that stay in one place then it should be fine. Wet test it if you can and make sure it will be comfortable for you. I am biased to the HotSpring brand not so much because we sell them but because I've worked on them and others a long time. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freezin Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I did Dry test it...lol and I did see what you mean about the room, but I figure it's not a pool so sit there and enjoy the spas right.....my wife and I donot really need a large spas....to be honest we just can;t afford one, if we try to save for one we will never get it....This one has a great price tag on it 2900 dollars US...and it is getting filled right now...I get to wet test it by friday I hope.....

Peteyboy Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 If it's new for $2900 that is a good price - good luck on the wet test (you will love the Moto-Jet) - it really is a good spa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerimiahR Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I know you asked not to have dealers respond, but since you've only had 1 person reply in the last day I thought I'd give some input anyhow. We've sold quite a few Solana TX models, and people really love them. I've got one lady in particular who thinks hers is the best thing ever. However, I recently had one customer who purchased a TX from us and later decided they wanted more leg room. These were not large people, but they decided they didn't want to play footsie so to speak. They traded their TX back into us for a Hot Spring Jetsetter as the replacement model, and so far are very happy. The TX does very well in our cold Montana winters, so I don't think you'll have any issues. However, wet or dry, get you and the wife to sit inside the TX and decide if it's the right size before you buy. If you two can sit in it and feel comfortable, go for it. Just make sure it's the right size. The TX is pretty unique, and isn't for everyone. But those who buy it are typically very happy with it.

freezin Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I know I said no dealers because I didn't want the battle back and forth, .. The jet setter looks like a good one also...what is the price ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteyboy Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 They can run from probably $5800 to $6800 - it's a lot more spa then the TX. Bigger 5'5" x 7', Dual Moto-Jet, circ pump, 5 year warranty, etc. The Phase II has nicer lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
