I see that the reunion says freshwater salt ready. Does that mean all you need are the cartridges, or is there another add on? Also I found a dealer that has the florence in the utopia series for a wet test. If we like the seating and jets in that one, would it be a similar experience to the reunion?

You need the salt system as well though if he's giving you the cartridges then I'm sure he's giving you the salt system. Florence will be similar but you will have more control over where jet power is going, 2 foot blaster jets, touch screen controller, more lighting options and a bottom pan instead of the sheathing underneath

I also got pricing on a Master twilight ts7.25 for $8400 plus tax.

Sorry can�t help you on Master prices. Not sure what they go for these days. Nearest dealer to me is a couple hours away from me. There is a couple of guys on this board who recently purchased Master. Maybe they will chime in on what they paid.

I see the master has a neck and shoulder seat, 2 master foot Blasters and larger jets. How are the jets on the reunion?

I just purchased a master spas MP LSX900 (top of the line that Master offers). MSRP around $16,000.
I got it for around $12k, with dream lighting, cover, hydraulic cover lifter, stairs, ozone, 3 pumps + circ pump

See below for pricing sheets on Caldera and Marquis I reviewed from a local dealer in MA about 7 months ago. I'm sure the prices are still close
Hope this helps! Good luck

The Caldera list is missing the newer models.

Jets are pretty powerful in my opinion. I have the Geneva and the jets are plenty powerful for me

We ended up wet testing a bullfrog r7 which we didn't like at all. Then got in a caldera florance and we really liked it. Pretty much the same layout as the reunion. So now its between the reunion and salina. So the reunion is at $8200 and salina is at $8900 all in.

damn those are cheap prices.

Which one is there better deal? I can make the size of the salina work if I need to.

Hottubguy · « **Reply #25 on:** October 23, 2019, 09:49:51 am »

Both great deals. Difference in my price for both is about $800. But my prices are much higher then what you are getting. I don�t get why a dealer would sell so low and throw in a bunch of stuff for free on top of it. If it was me I would probably go with the Salina. I like having that 4th corner seat.

trp3383 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 23, 2019, 10:11:15 am »

I was thinking the same thing with the corner seat but they didnt have this model on the floor. It looks the the filter area protrudes into the tub taking up room. It's also going to be mostly just the wife and I, but I also want to fit 4 adults comfortable. It's also 70 gallons bigger, is that going to more of a pain?

Hottubguy · « **Reply #27 on:** October 23, 2019, 11:00:53 am »

No more then where the filter goes in on the corner of the reunion. Obviously being a bigger tub you will use a bit more chemicals and spend a little more to heat it but it shouldn�t be a drastic difference.

Ended up going with the reunion for $7695 plus tax for polymer steps, prolift 2, salt system and year supply of salt cartridges. Said caldera is 6-8 weeks out right now.

Congrats. Great tub and deal. 6-8 is probably accurate. I�ve been ordering about a truck a month and they have been closer to the 6 week point right now. Much better then April-June. What color combo did you end up going with?
