wantaspa Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 In the market for a new spa. I am down to the Hot Springs Envoy and the Dimension 1 Californian. Cost is nearly the same for both. What I like best about Hot Springs 1) No-bypass filtration 2) strong dealer presence and support 3) look and feel is more elegant What I like best about the Dimension 1 spas 1) more jets and better hydro -therapy 2) ultralife shell Any other input and considerations the group can give me before I make the plunge? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. IMO, I think it comes down to #2,3 for Hot Springs vs #1 for D1. The no bypass filtration is nice but the D1 filters fine too. The D1 shell is fine but I wouldn't worry about either here. BTW, the "lifetime" warranty from D1 is good but not what many think it is and can be confusing. In the fine print you'll find that it's really 100% covered the first 7 years (maybe more but I think it's 7) but after that you'd have to pay for removal, shipping to/from the manufacturer to be fixed. That's a fine warranty but not exactly the "lifetime" many assume it to be. Sounds like a tough decidion for you so take a bit of time and think it through. You'll be happy either way.
