Brand Specific Forums > Jacuzzi Hot Tubs

New buyer, bit overwhelmed, purchased Jacuzzi J-275 today?!

<< < (2/3) > >>

The Wizard of Spas:
As far as the cost/month:  I personally believe that all tubs, for the most part, run close enough that the monthly bill will not be the determining factor.

I sell units with a circ pump and others without.  I have never seen enough evidence on either side of the argument to say one way is *the* way to go.  I say that b/c none of the salemanship in the world can deter you from the fact that the overwhelming majority of all things start with water chemistry.  You take care of your water and keep it balanced, you will not have near the issues you'd have with water out of balance.  That leads me to...

Clear Ray.  Full disclosure:  I do not sell products from Apollo Group.  But I do sell Crystal AOP, etc from Artesian Spas.  Look-  They are neat and they are nice and if you're getting if for free- Right on!  But I don't over sell in-line ozone/sanitizer systems b/c of the aforementioned paragraph above.  Water chemistry is A, B, C, D, E, F & G when it comes to the overall outlook on your hot tub.

Additionally- Though I like where your mind is at with all the questions, don't bury the lead:  Is the tub you're looking at comfortable?  Do you like the way the jets feel?  Is the dealer reputable?  These are the most important questions.   These other things are nice to investigate but should not be the deciding factor in your purchase.

Catalina Spas and Artesian Spas offer dual lounges.  I don't sell them though, as lounges can encourage women and children to float.  Half of my initial sales are lounger units.  But for those on their second purchase, I'd say 75% go all seats.

I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.

@Ray - the Sundance was cheaper than the Jacuzzi?  I thought the Sundance spas were more expensive according to what the sales guy said.

Looking for answers to the other questions too....thanks everyone!

I think they are having "special deals"... :)  discounts and manufacturer rebates going on... original price for jacuzzi j 495 was around $17k but after discounts... $14k.. not sure about the sundance aspen's original price though... i think $19k but after everything... $12800 out the door... maybe hottubguy can verify original price of Aspen... or if sundance is really more expensive than jacuzzi

Hottubguy:
Aspen and 495 are almost identical. They should be priced about the same.  The jacuzzi dealer will say jacuzzi is better sundance will say sundance is better but they are almost identical tubs. Jet pattern is a bit different but other then that very similar

uofmrapper:
so the place I bought from won't fill up the J-235 they have in stock.  They want me to try one of the 300 models...the 355 I think.  I'm not excited about purchasing a tub I can't try first after reading the comments on here.  Unfortunately, they said if I get it delivered and don't like it for whatever reason, my only option is to "trade up" and get a more expensive tub.

is this common practice?  Seems like for most of you, you were able to wet test the actual tub you bought.  Is that because you wet tested and liked it then purchased it?  Or did the dealers accommodate you and let you try out the model you were interested in? 

I'm close to cancelling my deal...

Tman122:
Wet tests are hard around here also. Ask your dealer if he would buy without wet testing.
