Virtual Battle of the Brands Jacuzzi J-400 Presentation

[@bribri2694]

Thank you for a clear and precise presentation. I learned a lot about the Jacuzzi which is the brand I want as I need to replace my nearly 20 year old tub. I uses Jacuzzi pumps but is another popular brand locally. The pumps are original except the blower which was replaced a couple of years ago. The insulation factor is a big one for me being in New England. I really want an efficient tub as we use ours a lot in winter which is my favorite time to use it. The air mix is also important. Great presentation!

I owned a 2006 Jacuzzi J-315 when Jacuzzi was still made in America & manufactured a robust hot tub. Now that Jacuzzi has decided to move their operations to Mexico I have decided to go with an All American built hot tub in the Marquis brand & have been Pleased with my small Marquis Rendezvous.

When the water is being skimmed 24x7 do you actually see this? Another words is the water actually moving where you notice this?

[@erindav1]

Excellent review...you have helped me make up my mind!

[@jv122798]

when you add chemicals should the air valves be on or off? Please let me know.

[@stifflers69mom1]

Off , air always off ….unless your using the tub

[@ah64adsweetness95]

What is the difference between the J435 vs the other 400 series? Thanks

[@matthewrodriguez3205]

Just curious where y’all are located and if y’all give better deals than I found. Tried to get a better deal a 2020 j300 series by going cash and it still cost me 13k. Is that on par ??

[@Coen80]

Looking for a j200 series, but i am 6'7, will i fit? (Normal torso very long legs)

[@jgionti3]

Fantastic review. Extremely informative

[@75marlar]

Default setting on primary filter is 8 hours; do you reccomend changing this to 24 hours?

[@AquaQuip]

Hi Lawrence! Yes we recommend switching to 24 hour circulation. Thanks for reaching out!

[@judywhelan-morgan8678]

Well made and works well.

[@JeremyJamesDec15]

I would like to see you guys do this on a Sundaydance 980 series.

[@AquaQuip]

Thanks Jeremy for the feedback. We will add that to our list of videos in the future.

Great presentation, very informative. I have a J-425 on order from my local dealer with a delivery date of early 2021.

[@lusariffic]

If you don’t mind me asking, how much does your j-425 cost? Our local dealer has the j-245 in stock, it seems like they really trying to sell us that one; but the look doesn’t seem very appealing as the j-425 for sure. We want to see the difference in price. Thanks in advance!

[@williamwalsh3882]

@@lusariffic no problem, $10,498.

[@lusariffic]

@@williamwalsh3882 thank you! Does the price include covers, steps and delivery? It was a great price compared with what we’ve quoted for! Thanks so much!

[@williamwalsh3882]

@@lusariffic no problem. Here is the breakdown. $10495 (J425) Lifter and Covermate III included, $300 (Optional Clearray), $150 (Steps), $300 (Delivery), $200 (Disposal) Total $11445.00.

[@williamwalsh3882]

also, they are very delayed at the manufacturing plant so my special order spa is delayed until April.

Good presentation for sure.

I can attest to"Jacuzzi"brand & it's Robust High end Quality! My short story is this- I purchased a pre-owned 2005 Jacuzzi J-315 in mint condition for $550.00 6 years ago. I am the 2nd owner of this hot tub & I can tell you I have Not had 1 single issue with my pre-owned Jacuzzi! I also love the fact that I was able to exchange a proprietary chip on the motherboard which now let's me extend my total temperature to 106° no other hard-sided hot tub manufacturer does this! Jacuzzi is #1 & always has been!

[@firerock1611]

You are a dealer for jacuzzi brand because you can not purchase a chip legally to change out on the motherboard and you are using terms only dealers use so quit trying to fool the folks ...

[@bayside6207]

​​@@firerock1611You are completely Incorrect in your statement- YES you can purchase a Proprietary chip to extend the temperature to 106° that is a 100% solid fact, So simple for an individual to simply fact check this=Duh🤦 I am the 2nd person to confirm the"chip"purchase.

[@stifflers69mom1]

@@firerock1611I can increase my temp to 106 with no chip or nothing….straight from the factory j-335 so what are you on about?!?!

[@AutOdometer]

I just bought the J-275. It comes in two weeks.

[@erindav1]

Please provide an update on your experience. Thank you!

[@AutOdometer]

@@erindav1 It is good. I love it. Plenty of space for my wife and I to float around at night. We spend 30-60 minutes whenever we in it. Lights are great and jets are super strong and even strong enough to where they need turned down a bit. Shell is very smooth. Also, Perfect for the kids to splash around during the day. I feel comfortable leaving them alone and peaking on them every now and then as the water depth is only 2-3 feet and my kids are tall enough to stand and keep heads out of the water. The hardest part is keeping the water chemistry balanced. I really don't think anyone has the answers for it. We probably should be changing the water once a month or once every two months to really keep it clean even when putting chlorine and all the other chemicals in it.

[@clou1969]

My brand New J-475 just installent today is leaking from the 2 diverter valves pump 1 and 2, the air switch are all leaking and one whistling like crazy. I’m not impressed with Jacuzzi Quality and their QA/QC control. For a spa over 10 grants it’s really disappointing.

[@bennyhill5775]

#1--Call the dealer you purchased it from. #2--Set up a tech appointment time for them to come out & repair the unit! Do I have to hold everyone's hand in life & slowly walk them to the obvious/appropriate answer!!!🤦‍♂️ Let me guess, you were a lawyer or doctor, perhaps a mechanical engineer, even a scientist but you have NO basic street common sense!

[@cam4840]

I've had nothing but issues on my J-475 purchase from Aquaquip, Bellevue, Washington. Can't believe I've spent $17,000+, waited five months for it, got it and found the modem didn't work and the doors were installed incorrectly. Also, the water is constantly dirty and I didn't get any chlorine, bromine or anti-scum for the tub either. No one came to show me how to use it either. For that money, yes, I absolutely want someone to hold my hand.

[@firerock1611]

@@cam4840 : pay no attention to his reply as he is a dealer for this brand and obviously drank the cool aid ...call the factory and ask for a production manager and if that gets you no results ask to speak to national sales manager and threaten to get local press involved if necessary ....good luck

[@firerock1611]

Buy a hot springs from Olympic hot tubs you will be happy you did , if not 2nd choice get a bullfrog , much more comfort and energy efficient..if you want the truth about hot tubs do not take facts from dealers but contact an independent spa service company with no ties to a manufacturer and ask what brands they service the most after the warranty expires because most spas last as long as the warranty and most manufacturers have escape clause built into their warranty’s like chemistry abuse by claiming you did not treat the water correctly that’s why going with a better company can save you from lots of headaches and money .... your ownership of a spa will be much more enjoyable...

[@bayside6207]

All one has to do is simple research & that will tell you that Hot Springs is the most Repaired brand in the industry. HS Breaks down more so than others & at a more frequent rate.

[@knarfster]

Seriously, open it up and show us what's going on underneath.

[@jackdawson3276]

Good product but they have to move their factory back to the USA. How can Masters Spa make a exceptional product with ALL American made components assembled in an American Factory at a comoetivw price. I have anHot Springs now. Didn't know about Master Spa. Next one will be Masters Spa if they continue to do what they are doing now

[@bennyhill5775]

Take a closer look at Master spa & see how they use multiple Staples to brace their 2x4 frame(way too many Staples being used) also MS repeats this process with their abs floor-- I agree that Jacuzzi does need to move their manufacturing back to the USA & Harley Davidson.
