spatech (the unreal one) Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi new to hot tubs and can use a little help.Trying to decide between Tiger River Caspian and Hot Spring Envoy.I know Watkins makes both and the difference is about 1000$ and thats with the ozone system in TR.I can't see difference,but there must be. bams10 If ozone is included (make sure its the same ozone, not a cheap UV type that they're adding to the TR) I'd say bells and whistles (lighting, waterfall) and different jets. Otherwise, you're probably not missing anything. You should get what you truly want but Quality should be similar (made side by side, mostly same parts) so if you truly like them evenly getting the Caspian sounds like a viable option.

Aguamarina Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hot Springs Envoy *Hands Down* Have had ours for a few months now and we are really enjoying it to the max. We like the 100% filtration and how silent this baby is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingSpaGuy Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 im confused, why envoy and not vangaurd. 1000 dollars difference? JUMP ON IT NOW. Caspian is usually 2300ish less then envoy, motomassage, better filtration system, ozone, lights, jets ect...if you can seriously get one for only 1000 over im guessing your getting a great deal on envoy or robbed on the caspian lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnInSJ Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have the caspian... it has the better ozone, or at least you can get it. I love mine. What's the prices you're getting quoted on the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bams10 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi,sorry about mix up,instead of HS Envoy It should of said HS Vanguard for about $1000 more. Vanguard - $9195 plus tax. with steps + covercradle 2. Caspian-$7925 plus tax. steps+ covercradle Its about $1270 difference,but for my wife and myself the Vanguard feels better bams10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnInSJ Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Caspian price is in line with "bay area CA" price... get the one that feels better You'll be feeling it long after you pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
