Post by: Cdn HockeyPuck on August 06, 2008, 01:50:02 pm
It came!  :) It came!  :) It came!  :)

The waiting is finally over! Our Artesian Platinum Cypress Point Arrived today! Now for the electrician to come and finish the wiring tonight and the dealer to do the chemicals tomorrow morning and we will be soaking tomorrow night.  8-)  ;)

Here are some preliminary pictures. I'll post more as our deck gets finished around the tub and it's running with the lights.

Love the color combo.  Is the Cypress Point a new model in the Platinum series?  I don't remember it 2 years ago when I got the Piper Glen.  Looks great!

I think (and don't quote me on this) the Platinum series has been around a couple of years. It's in between the Island and the Platinum Elite series which is where the Piper Glen is. It doesn't give us the 1 pump per seat but that's a sacrifice we took for the lower cost.

We had it all hooked up last night and were playing with the controls and lights. WOW!  the DynaBrite package is really cool at night.  8-)

The dealer came over this morning and walked us through the chemicals so tonight after work we are going to try it out. This work day is going to be long. :(

I'll try to get some night pictures tonight.

That is an EZ Lifter or its clone the Cover Butler.  It is attached at the bottom of the back, where you cannot see in the picture.

Congrats and thank you for supporting our local economy. When I toured the manufacturing plant I was impressed with the level of quality they put into each step of production.

Nice tub you are really going to enjoy the corner seat. Does the head rest have water flow through it?

Ahh yes, it's a waterfall that can be turned on and off, another seat has neck jets that can also be adjusted.

The cover lifter that was asked about, I don't know the maker but it attaches in 2 places at the bottom plus it has chains on the side to stop it. It seems pretty basic but it works and very easy to use.

All I can say is AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!  8-)
How did I ever do without this? We enjoyed our first soak in the tub last night, actually it was twice, once right after work (what a long work day) and then after slo-pitch game. Boy, I really feel relaxed today!  8-) ;)

I tried every seat and I can honestly say, I can't pick a favorite because they all have their benefits, I guess the one where I'll be able to watch the Olympics on the TV through the window will be my favorite.

It's very sweet, 3 pumps on it, 2 control all 4 corner seats and the 3rd one controls the floor jets and the side seats.

Now the get the chemicals right, the Alkalinity was high but PH and Chlorine seemed ok, we'll see what it tests today after being run with chemicals and the N2 stick for a while.

It looks like it will be a busy weekend with a lot of neighbors and friends wanting to come over and since the weather will be a little cool and rainy here in Southern Ontario, I guess their pools won't get much use.  ;D

More pictures are coming... honest!
