I recently took delivery of my 2006 Tahitian Utopia. I have to say that it's even better in my backyard than it was when I tried it in the showroom. The 2.5hp pumps really move a lot of water, they are the same pumps that they use on the larger 7'5" spas (geneva and Niagra).
I really like the neck jets and so far it's been easy to keep clean. My local dealer has been great helped explain everything to me after the spa was devliered.
I also really like the foot ridge alot, it really helps me stay in the seat and not float out.

The first thing to go wrong was the waterfall would not work which the dealer promptly fixed, the next thing was the caps which cover the intake jets kept coming off.

I emailed Watkins Mfg about this problem but received "NO" reply. This is one company everyone should really stay away from. They advertise quality but produce ju
