We I pulled the trigger today after another wet test. We are going with the Tropic Seas Waikiki Elite. Out the door cover, cover lifter, steps, chems $8990. I felt that was a reasonable price and I liked the dealer. Look forward to getting it and taking the first private soak. Very excited.

30 day update- in use.
We use the hot tub every day for about 30 to 40 mins. Even on the 10 degree nights I have been out there chilling. I love my lounger seat, but that is because I sink like a rock.
The tub has been easy to maintain thus far with the frog @ase system and ozonator. I test the water weekly. I usually shock it after adjusting the PH if needed once every 7-10 days with SpaGuard Enhanced Spa Shock. We have had crystal clear water which is awesome.
I am happy with the jet power. Depending on where I want the pressure, I will often times turn off the jets in the seat that I am not using and focus the water flow on once side of the seat etc. I find that I use 3 seats a lot each having their own perks.
I am debating on getting a water blanket so help with the degradation of the headrests.
Im glad I went with this one.

Good review.

1 year update.
Still love the Wiakiki Elite and I use it year round. Winter I keep it at 102 and summer I dont need to heat it at all since it does see some sun during the day (in MD).
We've had no problems at all. I replace the smart chlor cartridge every 3-4 weeks and mineral cartridge every 3 months. I usually shock the hot tub every week or so (not sure if that is overkill). Will need to replace both filters soon but if you did a better job than me of washing the filters out regularly you may get some more life.
Really not a bad thing I can say about it.
Since I've had this Wiakiki Elite, I've tried a Barefoot spa, another jacuzzi, and a Sundance and I can hands down say I made the right decision for me.
And I love my lounge and foot blasters. Some people dont like the lounge seat but I find it does a great job on my calf muscles.
Hope that helps anyone looking to get an artesian/tropic seas.
