Independent Study - Arctic

(1/1)

Steve:
So here's the thing...

I've heard from a couple of dealers and owners talk about this "independent study" but have yet to SEE anything on it.

So let's see it people!! I know that if we conducted an "independent study" and we came out leaps and bounds on top, I would have it plastered all over the web and on every piece of advertising we did! I keep hearing of this but yet nobody can get it. Even customers when they ask for it. They hear the sales pitch, but nothing to show them the results? Hmmmmmmmmm Makes one wonder... :-/

If someone has it, please share. We've been waiting for a study like this for years. And to think that the company that organized this “study” came out on top supposedly.  Whooda thunk it? ::) ;D

When ever I shop for a high dollar item I always tell the salesperson "do not claim it, prove it". Cuts a lot of the BS out.

Yeah, but can you PROVE that you actually say that?

I would love to see someone reputable like Consumer Reports do a rating on Hot Tubs.

I don't think Consumers digest is reputable as they take money for their ratings.  They do not back their ratings with facts.

I have looked at the engineering of a Spa. It sure differs from make to make,  Pipe sizing, matching the the flow rates  to the number of pumps and jets, Filtration methods, Ozination, re length of contact tube, 24/7 circulation.  Foundation design, Wood,  or  Steel.  Full Foam or thermo pane. Costs of operation, Quality of the Spa Shell, estimates of longevity of the pumps, heater etc.

Then there are the distractions such as fiber optic lighting, I understand that repeaters are expensive and hard to replace, Waterfalls, Stereos, TV's, sperm skimmers etc.

It is very hard to get the hard facts, however every one has an opinion.  Lots of emotional opinions without one iota of backup to substantiate.

I am a member of consumer reports online and I emailed them a few weeks ago about them doing a report on hot tubs.  I got a response that basically said they would forward my email to the right department, etc. etc....... consumer digest is not nearly as reputable.
