First hot tub
Ralith:
We're going up to Indy (hour away) to closest dealer on Sunday. Looking at Margarita Elite or Bimini probably. It seems they have a lot of different water treatment systems so time to do some research.
Sam:
The Isla Margarita is a great spa. I would definitely be happy to put one in my own yard. The layout is pretty cool imo. As for their numerous water treatment options, I strongly recommend the ProPure ozone with inline @ease. It's not their most expensive option, but I find it to be the best. In fact, it's my personal favorite water management system I have ever tried and I've tried quite a few over the years.
Ralith:
Ok, so wife really liked the Island Margarita Elite, loved foot blaster and step to get into it (she'd admit she's a bit of a clutz). I think we'd be pretty happy with this one.
So family leisure of Indy quoted us today for Island Margarita Elite in glacier.
$11,100 plus tax with cover, lifter, steps, chemicals, @ease inline, ozone, diamond AOP UVC sanitation, pillowfall and tranquilityfall, durabright LED lights, foot blasters and delivery.
I was reading on the UVC and seems to be nice. He quoted me $450 for the kit on the tub and then $90/bulb/year for maintenance.
The rep didn't know what the Crysral ProPure ozone mixing chamber was, but was gonna check into it.
Sam:
That's a good price. That's sort of a red flag to me that the rep didn't know what propure is. I personally find it to perform the best and it's less expensive with no bulb to replace. The ozone generator itself will last 2-5 years. You used to be able to just replace the chip for $60 or something but I'm not sure if that's true for the new ozone unit. On paper, the UV does indeed look like the better option but propure combined with @ease has been the best performing system I've ever used. Your mileage may vary.
Ralith:
So there's a Master spa factory in Indy that we got in touch with and going to go see a couple tubs there. Mainly looking at Twilight 8.2 @9-10k and Legend 900 @ 12-13k, so wells see how we like them. Our local MS dealer doesn't sell legend or have twight even on floor.
