Of the Hot spring Jetsetter, D1 Triad II and the Sundance Capri, can three fit comfortably and on a rare occasion 4?
Of the three, which one will accomodate the most people? Would be nice to fit two couples from time to time......
Thanks

You will not be able to fit more than 3 adults in any of those tubs comfortably.
-
I have the prodigy, 5 person, and 4 average sized adults fit "comfortably". We have never tried more than that but I can see it getting crowded real fast! Actually, 4 can be crowded too, depending on how fidgity the others are...
-
On more thought...do a dry test on the showroom floor....we were condsidering the jetsetter and quickly realized just sitting in it that 2 was enough in there. Not sure about the others.
-
I know of one spa that is smallish but will accomodate 4 people comfortably. The Jacuzzi® J-325. It's price point is similar the the hot tubs on your list and it is roomier.
-
All of the spas you mentioned have only 3 seats. . Seating 4 adults is out of the question. I think you will be fooling yourself if you think you could squeeze another person in. I think with all three spas, seating 3 adults would be tight at best. The number of seats does not = the number of adults that can sit at the same time comfortably.
Wet testing is the best way to get an idea.

If you are trying to maximize the amount of people you can get into a small tub, I suggest you look at models without a lounger. A small tub with 4 corner seats would work best.

We also have a 2006 Prodigy. Seats 4 adults comfortably, has plenty of jets for all. We love it. Glad we didn't go with anything smaller. Good luck on your search and eventual purchase.

If you must fit the size you said in your other post (The width can be no longer than 69" - 74" and the depth can be no larger than 33".,) Check out Great lakes. Not the biggest name out there, but I've seen reputable dealers carry them, as an ecnomy alternative to some of the big $ spas. They fit you size, and are not a fly by night company. I've seen thier red shells and thought they were sharp looking:
What do you think? The forte looks nice.

I just purchased a 2007 Jetsetter. Two is company, three is a crowd.

What about water level? Would think that loading a +/- 300 gallon spa with 4 people, thing thing would overflow. When I plan for more than just two in my 560 gallon Maxxus, I lower the water an couple of inches and even then it is pretty darned close to the rim with 4. Sundance claims 6-7 for my spa. It's real comfy with 4, more than that I don't see the point. Guess we could all just kinda stand around.

re: "You will not be able to fit more than 3 adults in any of

Now WHYNOT....I beg to differ....
I would be quite "comfortable" sitting in any of
those tubs with more than 3 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!

darnit, I just realized the Great lakes miss the dimesion by a few inches on the leagth. Arrrrgh. Sorrry.
Frank, there's no wiggle room at all in the dimesnions? Another 2.5 inches and the Great lakes will give you room for 4.

Wow, you take the time to lower the water? I just let it over flow and top it off the next day....is that bad?!

Only if the tub is indoors. ;)
If I have a lot of people who have a "high dispacement" factor in the tub, I let it splash over onto the ground. And like you, the next day I just top it off. I think of it as a partial water change. ;)

Sounds like a job for our hero "Superchlorination Guy". Lotsa bodies in= lotsa water out= less water= lotsa potential cooties= new water and lots dichlor after!
-

LOL! Oh yeah. I guess I thought everyone would put it outside.

I guess the other concern woudl be if it's freezing outside and you splash a few gallons of water on the steps and walkway, you should be careful as you'll have an ice rink the next morning. ;)

True again!
My, you really are on your game today. I personally like the danger of having the tub on an ice rink. It makes those 2 steps to the door that much more exciting! :P
Btw, do you have something in your eye?! LOL ;D ;)

you can pretty much take the manufacturers claim of how many people it holds and reduce it by 2 people. That number will be on the verge of overcrowded, but not quite yet.

Depends on the spa manufacturer. Consider the following 4 models from 4 different manufacturers. All are about the same size.
Jacuzzi J345 = 4-5
Hotspring Prodigy = 5
Sundance Chelsee = 6
Marquis Destiny = 7
:o :-? ::)

water on circuitry and electronic components not good......over-flowing might cause a failure in the area of electronics, 240 volts at 50 to 60 amps all wet.....where angels fear to thread. often times it is self-correcting after it dries out. however, in the aftermath, chemical corrosion is also a possibility once all is dried up.
