Our New 62 Jet - 18 horsepower Hot tub

We Closed a deal on our new hot tub today................buying a new one to replace the crappy spa that came with the house we bought 11 years ago.

Man o Man have hot tubs come a long ways in recent years.........

going into the spa hunt, I was at a mental $6-7K price point. And yeah, that buys you a wimpy small spa with 10-12 jets and a 1-2 horsepower pump


did I go that route? yeah right. NAH!!!!!!!!



We bought 62 jets, triple main pumps and a smaller 24/7 circulation pump, would you believe 18 horsepower total!!!!!! Two 6 hp pumps for 59 jets and a 5 hp dedicated to twin foot blasters, then a 1 horse circ pump for filtering.

I can pump 9000 gallons an hour, that's 150 gallons a minute, or over 2 gallons a second at pressure.

This spa should be able to strip flesh off of bone.

We wet tested 6-7 different spa shapes/models on the dealer show room floor to get the one that fits perfect.



click on the 61 jet with "dual foot blaster" option below: This is one *****in' awesome hydro-therapy spa. LOVE THE TWIN FOOT BLASTERS!!!

Artesian Spas - Grand Bahama Luxury Hydrotherapy Hot Tub


Made in Vegas.

The factory spec unit comes with a dedicated 3 hp pump solely feeding the dual foot blasters, I had them bump it up to a 5 horse pump for another $100.

$200 upgraded 10 multi-color LED lighting, and a +$200 heavy duty cover that is 6" thick center tapering to 3" edge. Should handle snow load much better than the standard 4"/2" taper.

Custom Ordered it and will ship/install early/mid March.
