Well everyone,
I loved the wet test on the Bahia. I was surprised at the "volcano" - a good thing for people with foot issues.
And I can work with the dealer well.
So I put $ down!
I will actually buy it this weekend - before delivery I need to power wash my deck and get things ready.
Thanks for all the posts - u have all helped me soooo much!
If any of you have suggestions as to what I shd say or do or expect before signing the contract, now is the time to tell me.

Congratulations on your choice.
As mentioned before, the Bahia
is one of most popular spas.
I do not remember if you were getting
any accessories or not.
Many of our customers get a set of steps
and a Covermate I cover lift, which
we install on-site.

Marian,
Make sure your deck does not need additional support and not just a cleaning. We had to re-support our deck to hold the heavy tub correctly.

What to get with tub.
Cover with lifter
Steps (unless you are building your own or don't need them due to setup)
Second set of filters !!! (worth more than the chems)
Delivery and setup
Test strips or test kit
PH up & PH down
If you are getting a 6 to 12 month supply of chems, get dichlor or bromine only and take a one month supply of either first so that you can try each.
Floater if using bromine
Matching supply of shock for your sanitizer choice.
Swirl away or similar
Spa vac
Floating thermometer
Scum bug or similar
Good luck
Steve

Cola's got a good litst of all the goodies one typically needs (although, I never needed a scum bug?)
After, you've got your deal made, and before signing on the dotted line, I would make sure to discuss with them the details of
Delivery and any concerns. Who is delivery it (them, or a subcontracted agent?) and that they are insured. Is there a predielviey checklist they may have?
When is the estimated delivery?
Ensure the invoice contains all the things they said they would include. (the tub model, the cover, the lifter, the steps, the delivery, ozinator etc...) better to be safe and handle the transaction as proffesionaly as possible. It protects both of you.
Will they be installing the cover lifter? If so, when?
Are you getting an ozone unit? is it already installed, or will they need to come and install it? is so. when? by who?
Are they going to come out and give you an oreintation of the tub, all it's features and use, as well as instruction in proper water care ?
When is final payment due, and by what means (CC? Check? Bags of nickles ok? ;))
Get their card and ask "who should I contact if I have any questions .
Take a few mintues and review everything, and discuss any questions and concerns you may have.
Good luck. Have the camera there for delivery!
