RDspaguy Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 2 hours ago, ratchett said: available way back in the early 90's - I think it was '98 or so when Jacuzzi bough Sundance and began the j series (I worked for a Sundance dealer when it happened) with all the Sundance guts in a new shell/cabinet design. Before that Jacuzzi was just a name and made some pretty crappy tubs in my opinion. Sundance was top of the line at the time, and many of their innovations have become industry standards since (24hr circulation, ozone, digital controls (they were the first to use Balboa), manifold jets, full-foam insulation, 3 layer shell, and suction side skimmer filter, just to name a few). Jacuzzi bought all that and immediately used it in their "jacuzzi premium" line. In fact, in the first few years you would find control packs with the Sundance name on them in Jacuzzi spas. I consider Sundance/Jacuzzi to be a top tier spa, right beside Hot Springs/Caldera. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepers22 Posted June 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 OK! So I went and bought the J355. Not all dealers are created equal that is for sure! I found one I really liked, even had the color I wanted coming in in August, and jumped on it. Super excited! Thanks again to all who helped and happy spaing! 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mina Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi I’m searching for a 4-6 persons spa,I looked for the bullfrog R6 , jacuzzi J-235, calSpa and trévi Baleno 2000 or 3000 I want à know if there is big difference for electricity consuming . Otherwise it Seams that you suggested the large jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranbiz Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 Most 4-6 person tubs use about the same amount of power. Poorly insulated tube will use more than a well insulated tub. The Jacuzzi 200 series are not as well insulated as the J300 and J400 series. The R6 is a decent tub. CalSpa can be decent depending on the model and I don't know anything about the Trevi.
