Full foam vs thermo....? but not about whos better
Wisoki:
Again not too dificult. As Jacuzzi and Sundance ( I cannot speak to HotSpring spas) a very heavy brown paper is stapled to the wood frame to prevent the foam from sticking to the cabinet. I am pretty sure the "foam spraying technician" knows full well that the foam expands at aproxamatly 3x it's original volume. OK, so what. In the case of HotSpring Spas, the 2# foam is sprayed in until the "technician" know the expansion will reach about 2-3" from the spas floor. When that foam sets, the spa rolls down the line to the 3# density foam spraying "technician". Sorry guys, but since most of these processes are mechanized and computerized, I cannot fathom what the percieved dificulty is.

And therein lies the answer to the original question?
It's easier to start up and build thermo because such a mechanized and computerized process is not necessary? Brutus just connects the thermo panels together??

Sorry.... I didn't mean to come off so defensive. You did say many.. We sell both full foam and thermo... From a tech stand point thermo is the best, I'll give an example
We recently had two New colemans leak from between the compensating ring and the lock nut on one of the large cyclone jets. Talk about easy to find and fix. two months ago I had A J-385 leak from one of the max power pro jets in the footwell. this one was harder to find and fix because of the full foam; more time consuming removing wet foam and replacing. once you get to the problem it is same as the coleman to fix. the time difference to verify a leak between the two can be big depending model and location of leak. so From a repair standpoint I like the thermo. I know we weren't trying to tout who is better, just my Humble opinion on what I like to repair better.

dpgtech,
I'm curious, Do you sell between the two brands or are you strickly in the service end of the business.
The reason I'm asking is, this seems to be the case of a spa store that can sell both types of insulation side by side without degrading the other. Very interesting!!!
