Hi guys I'm new to the area...just moved here from Kansas and have finally settled into our new house. My husband and I are looking to purchase a hot tub for our back patio. Wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on where to buy and good brands, models, etc. Thanks you!

Hello Emma,
Welcome to the forum. Lots of newbies today!! ;)
Well, I am not to sure how far apart Hudson and Columbus are, but there is a great Arctic Spa Dealer in Hudson OH. Vernon and his wife Betty run the store and they are great people to deal with and run a great store. They sell Arctic Spas, and I would definetly check them out as they are a quality built spa. Here is their website for more information: http://www.hudsonpoolsandspas.com/
Feel free to ask me any questions in regards to the Arctic Spas along the way!
Good luck in your search for the perfect spa.
PS - What part of Kansas are you from. I live in Topeka KS!!

Thanks, but I think they are way up north. Does anybody know about the stores in Columbus?

Two main stores carry most of the reputable brands. All Seasons Spas carries Sundance and Jacuzzi, while Scioto Valley carries Hot Spring, Caldera, and Cal Sps. The stores are within a few hundred yards of each other in Hilliard, on the west side of Columbus.
I believe there's a new Artesian dealer in the area, but I'm not sure. There are a few other stores, but as far as I know no other "top" brands (such as Marquis or Artesian) are represented in central Ohio.

Thanks for the info, looks like both of these stores are about 5 mintues from my house (assuming I don't get lost ;D)
Is there one store you would recommend more than the other? Thanks again!

Welcome fellow Columbusite. All-Seasons and Scioto Valley in Hilliard are two of the premier dealers in town.

Water Boy you beat me to it. Vern does run a good ship there in OH.

Now that is convenient. Two stores right next to each other carrying Sundance, Jacuzzi, Hot Spring and Caldera; four of the better brands available.

I bet you those two stores get into some serious battles with each other!! ;D

I've purchased two spas from All Seasons over the last 10 years or so (both Sundance tubs). I've found them to be one of the best businesses I've ever worked with, & wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. I don't know much about Scioto Valley (other than seeing their commercials on TV all the time). However, Hot Spring dealers as a whole have a very good reputation, so I would imagine that they're pretty good too.
I strongly suggest that you wet test any spa you're looking at. All Seasons has a private "testing room" with several spas you can try out. I'm not sure if Scioto Valley does or not - if they do, you could test them all within an hour of each other, and really get a good idea of what you like & what you don't.

We can safely call that an understatement.

Music to my ears. I like what I'm hearing......

There was the long time Master dealer who got fed up with the company, at one time they were the best known in town with their pink delivery trucks. They are carrying QCA spas. A Royal Spa dealer opened up in the Polaris area that is, I've heard, carrying Coleman spas. Rainbow is a long time dealer in town, who has switched brands several times. I think they are carrying Coast now

As you mentioned, one of the nicer changing area private wet tests facilities I've ever seen. Huge chemical/ accesories section. They carry my Dynasty filter.
Great people to deal with.

Have only heard good things about them. A good wet test area, usually 5 tubs set up. PS, They carry Cal too ;) Oh, big selection of chemicals and accesories, and good prices.

Not that I have seen. SV has a huge advertising budget and you see their commercials all the time. AS has one of the nicer show rooms in the industry but rarely advertises. A former sales guys of theirs (moved) is on here frequently. Mike, what is your user name again? :-?

Thanks Termy. I was by his empty office this week. I guess they can't find anyone good enough to fill his shoes. Either that or the person was out to lunch.

You are most assuredly welcome!

I guess I'll have to find an excuse to go up there. Tom doesn't seem to want to drop a long term demo off by my house ;)

Don't forget to tell them were you heard about them :) All Seasons know about us, that much I do know.

Kelly, the salesperson who sold us our last spa, is on here occasionally. I can't remember her user name.

I highly suggest All Seasons Spas for all of your hot tub needs.
They are the most professional spa company in Central Ohio.
Even without my size 10 shoes there......
Yes, there have been some serious spa sale battles over the
years with such proximity. Which started when All Seasons
moved into SV's old building, which you had to drive past
to get to their new location.
Now All Seasons has a new building on the same road at the corner of
Lyman and All Seasons Dr. Which is closer to the freeway exit.
ps. DP I hope you're enjoying your Sundance Tango

Wow, just found my log in and password for this site, can't believe it's been 4 years since we purchased our sundance/ optima from All Seasons. I was in the other day picking up chemicals when my husband and I saw the new Micheal Phelps swim spa. We've passed on the idea of installing a pool, but thought this would be a great alternative for aquatic exercise (husband has been recovering from a back injury).
Has anyone used one of these and knows how they compare to others? Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you!

Glad to know that Optima worked out for you, I'm back in the market again (maybe) and have been looking at that one. I'll have to look at that swim spa just out of curiousity.
