Mike0503 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Well, got a price for the Tub with LED upgrade, Corona Ozone, cover easy lifter, steps, and delivery, out the door for $6600 sounded pretty darn good to me. chose the white pearl with texture and mahogany cabinet.

Mike0503 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 ok, electricians came and three bids are in the works and two concrete bids are in the works. Will have my pad and electric done way before the tub is here so there will be no problems. 10x10 slab for a 8x8 tub, glad I am choosing the concrete after reading and just doing some homework on it...

Funny how some folks will spend thousands on a tub and get cheap with the install, but then again, some folks would buy a Cadillac and park it in the mud.

Mikey_in_NY Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hello, Newbie here to this site I am finally ready to buy and would like to get some feedback from some of you that may have a Sundance hottub. If anyone has a Hawthorne and how they like it? how its working and so forth. THanks for any and all feedback Hey Mike, I bought a Hawthorne a little over 12 months ago - with all the 'extra' upgrades like yourself. Paid about $6,300 exc tax, so your price sounds pretty reasonable. I went for the oyster shell with coastal cabinet. Had a 8'6" x 8' 6" concrete pad poured, with a 60A electric supply (60A allows you to run both pumps, plus heater all at once). This is my first tub so I can't honestly compare it to any other brands, but so far I'm very happy with it and the dealer support. Nothing has gone wrong with it so far, and I only have a couple of (very minor) 'negatives'... 1. There aren't enough drink holders, but the flat top of the waterfall comes in handy for that! 2. One or two of the LED lights have gotten out of color sync, but I rarely use them so not a biggie for me. Anyway, congratulations, you won't go far wrong with a Sundance.

Thanks for the feedback, I am really looking forward to it arriving. I have not owned one prior myself but have many friends with all kinds of tubs so this will be great to have my own. Keep me posted with how you and your tub are doing, stay in hot water.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the tub is here, YES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_in_NY Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looks great Mike - now just wire it up and fill it with water! Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to put your tub in the corner of your pad, and not central? Or is it not yet in it's final place?

Just out of curiosity, why did you elect to put your tub in the corner of your pad, and not central? Or is it not yet in it's final place? I put it there so I could walk around the control panel side and the other side to get in really, just thought it would be easy no real reason. Electrician should be here friday and will start the fill up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorhog Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Looks like you'll have the same issue that I will have - neighbors getting a full monty shot over the fence I'm going in the tub naked 95% of the time. If they choose to look over, that is their choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they choose to look over, that is their choice! Wow, thats a lot of information 95% to much, LOL but ya its further than it appears to be though. and the spa cover lift will block that side also. The landscaping plans are to have tall aspen trees on that side also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
