Title: Gulf Coast?
Post by: HotTubMan on July 24, 2004, 04:56:13 pm
Just curious about the Gulf Coast brand of tubs. Any one have one? How is the energy efficiency in colder climates? Any feedback would be welcome.

WOW... Gulf Coast never seems to just go away. I will not get into it, but do a search here and at Poolandspa.com and come to your own conclusions.

Thanks!

The energy efficiency is great in the cold weather. They have this thing called PolarTech Technology. When the temperature gets too low in your spa, it automatically turns on so the water doesn't freeze in your pipes. Plus your energy bill should only go up about $15. If you really want to know about them straight from the manufacturer just call their 800#. It's 1-888-506-SPAS.

Sounds like we have a Gulf Coast owner...  Care to let us all know what you think of your spa?  I have a friend who owns one and is very happy with it...  There is quite a bit of Gulf Coast bashing on these boards and I'm curious what another owner really thinks...

Not to sound like I'm Gulf bashing, BUT, this thing you call "PolarTech" is merely the freeze protection that virtualy EVERY spa manufacturer has on their spas. No big innovation there.

Dude, what are you doing calling Gulf Coasts tech line? I thought you owned a Jacuzzi. You are either living in your mothers basement with nothing better to do or you are a spa salesman. Which is it?

Let me give you a little education my friend. Also for all those that think Hoosiers are bass ackwords. I am originaly from N.Y. but raised in Seattle, shortly after that moved to Denver. When I'd had enough of the mountains, I moved to San Diego where I got my education in the spa industry some 12+ years ago beginning with Jacuzzi WHIRLPOOL BATH. A totaly diferent company than what you think you know. Several years later and yearning for the mountains and not wanting to move too far from the coast, I took a sales management position for a pool and spa company in Reno, again selling Jacuzzi. This leads to meeting my wife. Ex Navy honarably discharged with high commendations she is. Her entire family is here in Indiana. I had/have no qualms about living here in the wholesome mid west and owning a retail spa store. I might not get rich doing it, but then again I don't idolize money. So, before you assume that all those of us in Indiana are uneducated hicks and start throwing stones at us, check your own usage of gramer and spelling.  ;)

just screwing with yea head a bit.I know you hate Jacuzzi's so i am F**king with yea.Hey I am happy with my Jacuzzi and could have got a Sundance or hotsping but hated the salespeople that were trying to put all the other brands down.I did my home work and read this site many times before jumping into a Jacuzzi band.I am sure you are doing well in whatever brand that you sell.I am sure Reno was a very hard place to sell spas,been there many of times and miss lake tahoe.Friend of mine used to sell time shares in tahoe but now he's back playing Guitar for David Bowie lol......So don't mind me i am all F**ked up lol ;)

You guys want to talk about MOPAR power,  let me tell you about my 73 Dodge Dart Sport 225 slant 6 1bbl, or maybe my Dodge Caravan 3.3L!   ;D  Or maybe not.

Prices back then was a lot of money to a teenager and now that we are older its still a lot of money and many people cannot afford a real Mopar but if its not original but in good shape and the body is straight you can get top dollar.I saw a 1969 Charger Hemi NONE original and it sold for $160,000.........I bought a pair of Tail lens for extra parts to have around and that cost me $750 for 2 little parts.Most people cannot afford mopars so they buy Chevys because chevys are cheap and there are lots of parts for them not like mopars where you have to pay top dollar.....now lets talk about mopars opps i mmean spas.Jt
