Description      You are about to learn of the Highest Quality Hot Tubs available on Ebay (a seemingly brash statement, but read on.) My item descriptions may seem long, but I do this so that you will become an educated Hot Tub consumer, and then a happy owner. (there, you've been "advised"!) NEW INFO:  We have been very busy making some important changes. In an effort to reduce costs and secure the advantage of a higher number of experienced technicians and other talented individuals, we have moved expanded our production to an additional location in Southern CA.       We also took advantage of the move by undergoing some subtle, yet important design revisions. Beginning with our original molds, revisions were made in order to incorporate a higher number of jets in most models while maintaining jet flow. Lounges in our 82” models are less “restrictive” in the upper torso area, while maintaining “no float” qualities and we are back with Hydro-Quip and Waterway for Electronics and Pumps for the benefits these companies have provided us with in the past when it has come to their amazing warranty service support. Thanks, Donald      Since 1998 we have done our best here on ebay to provide you with a spa which does not cut corners, and is represented in a straightforward manner, telling you what it is made of , how it is built and trying to help educate you and make sure your spa ownership is a pleasurable one.       The fact is, it costs real money to build a SUPERIOR quality spa and then back it up with a REAL warranty. It CANNOT be done for the prices at which some new spas are sold here on ebay. Having collectively built spas since 1973, we know the difference.      Please click on the "about me" link in the "meet the seller" section near the top (right) of this listing. There, I have provided a very detailed list of exactly "where and how" some other spa builders/sellers are providing you with LESS SPA, yet TAKING a HIGHER PROFIT from you. Does that sound fair?       In order to get your attention and possibly cause you to do some true comparison shopping, I am going to provide an excellent chlorine-free water sanitation kit for your spa which will be included for the winner of this auction at no additional charge. This system will allow you and yours to enjoy your spa without the environmental side-effects associated with chlorine use.      Please read the following carefully and get ready to invest in the same superior quality which many of our customers have literally owned and used continuously and on a daily basis for over 2 decades: Note: While it would be relatively simple to  install more than 43 jets into this spa, doing so would do 2 things: 1) Reduce power to each jet. 2) Make you wonder why we did it, once you put the spa into use.        A great number of overjetted spas are marketed on here on ebay. While a "higher" number of jets may APPEAR attractive in an auction title , we know how unimpressive this would feel once that spa is actually in use. While it would be very inexpensive to add "micro-jets", or simply count the individual ports within a jet ( an all-too-common practice with some sellers), we choose to continue to jet your spa at a proper ratio to your pump(s), choosing the most appropriate jets and flow patterns for each therapy area. (Amazingly, overjetted spas continue to sell to those who are unaware! )              This is a BRAND NEW, State of the Art, Therapy Spa equipped with 43 JETS providing the Therapeutic benefits of Heated Aqua-Massage. Imagine how great it'll be to come home after a long day (at the desk, or on your feet!) and slip into your Brand New "Village Cove" Therapy Spa. This is a BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED Spa , with tasteful lines created to Enhance your experience. Relax and Rejuvenate in True Hydrotherapy through 43 Power, Flow Pattern and Direction-adjustable Jets. This Spa usually Retails at between $5795 and $6395. This is NOT a Factory 2nd or a Blem (this can be an important question!)  It IS a Spa which uses fully Modern Design Technology!  It would be a REAL Challenge to find a better spa in this range (to say the least!).       My spas come to me as part of a trade-for-services agreement from the Manufacturer, who is one of the most Quality-oriented in the highly competitive Southern California area. This significantly reduces our "cost" (and yours). As part of our agreement I will only release the exact name of the manufacturer to the Winning Bidder. This way, I am not competing (unfairly) with the company's direct sales dept. and “bricks and mortar” dealer base, who of course sells the Spa for a significant RETAIL mark-up. This superb quality Spa INCLUDES the complete manufacturers 10/3/3 YEAR PARTS and LABOR WARRANTY. I can readily send a copy of the complete warranty by e-mail to any current Bidder.  (OR CLICK the "About Me" link in the "Meet the Seller" Section above)         Now for the Features: 6 SEATS; 43 Hi-Volume Jets supplied by TWO powerful 5.0hp "Waterway" Pumps (56 frame)(best) mounted on special nylon “shock absorbers” and bottom insulated Control Pack for noise reduction (so QUIET you'll never notice it!!)  24 hour auto-filtration timer/controls with Freeze Protection Vertically loaded zero bypass 100 SQ. FT. filters (easy/low maintenance, cleans and protects spa)   Dimensions are 82" X82" X36"; (about 7 ft. sq.) ETL tested and approved for consumer safety        Note: In this day of Power Conservation, the manufacturer realizes that power at the jet is even more important than "rated horsepower". Therefore, the Palisades 43 Jets are designed for maximum performance via TWO TRUE 5.0 horsepower 56 frame pumps (yes, fully rated also)(That's 2 PUMPS, 10 HP Total ! ) in order to provide EXCELLENT pressure at the Jets. This is partially accomplished by using "MANIFOLD STYLE" plumbing, with longer broader curves, instead of the old style 90 degree hard angles in the pressurized areas of the plumbing which allows for greater water flow to the Jets. Ultimately, REAL Hydro-Therapy Massage Action is fully achieved, while saving significant energy on your monthly bill.           Seating/Jets: The "Village Cove" is a very comfortable Spa which has 8 Ergonomically designed adult sized seats as follows:  Complete Body Therapy Lounge: Relax and let 2 HUGE interchangeable High Volume "Storm Jets" work the tension from your entire upper and lower back while your Neck and Trapezius are hydro-massaged via 2 more perfectly placed therapy jets. Our Mold is “sculpted” so that two Hi-Flow jets work their way down each one of your Calves, while 2 more amazing jets provide foot therapy. Round out this Total Body Experience with TWO Carpal Tunnel/Wrist Jets placed on the comfortable armrests of your new, personal, ROOMY HydroTherapy Lounge.  Full Therapy Chair: An entire “battery” of 13 Adjustable Jets to massage Upper & Lower Back (2 HUGE interchangeable High Volume "Storm Jets"!), 2 mid-back Tornado Jets, Shoulder/ Trapezius and Neck Jets , PLUS Calf/Knee joint Jets, (imagine that!) Comfortable molded Headrest, along with opposing Foot Basin jets for lower extremities. Rejuvenation Chair: Equipped with an array strategically placed spinner jets to hit any of your muscles that the other seats missed!! (“Swivel” your legs to the seat at left or right for additional KNEE Therapy!) THREE additional seats with strategically placed jets and ergonomic design round out this Complete Therapy design with different jets placed in different positions so that every seat provides a different type of RELAXATION and THERAPY. HUGE WHIRLPOOL JET, Powerful Beyond Expectation, which can be used for MAXIMUM FOOT THERAPY When Sitting in “Rejuvenation” Chair and "swiveling" feet up to the right (just ask me!!)        Using all of the different seats in this Spa is kind of like using all of the different stations at a gym, benefiting every area of the body. Individually adjustable jets, diverter valve and digital pump controls allow you to direct the majority of the pressure to particular areas of the spa and even design the texture or feel of the water (soft or hard , fast or slow). Included is the ability to adjust nearly every jet for amount of flow so you get the most personalized experience of it's kind; Although the spa can be set for a very soft and soothing experience, or for a more powerful type massaging feel.         HYDRO-QUIP TOPSIDE DIGITAL CONTROLS allow you to control pumps, heat and lighting.        HYDRO-QUIP TOPSIDE DIGITAL CONTROLS include “Visual Diagnostic System” which assists the spa owner in providing diagnostic information to the technician in order to provide a more efficient service solution. INCLUDED FREE are: HEAVY DUTY, 5" (tapered to 4”), LOCKABLE THERMAL COVER (to keep debris out and heat IN) and CORONA DISCHARGE OZONE WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM (safely helps keep chemical usage to a minimum for your family's pleasure and safety, while conserving on maintenance and cost of chemicals) and Tri-Color Light w/ red and blue color filters                                                                           **A $550 MINIMUM VALUE !!   This is SO IMPORTANT! Most of these guys use a cover which is only  3" in the center and tapers to 2" (if it tapers). Instead of using 2lb. density foam, they may even use ONLY 1LB density. They "save": about $75.00 on building your tub. ( without passing it on to YOU! )Either way, You receive FAR less heat retention, which affects your ENERGY BILL. (Your Energy Bill could increase by 25-30% OR MORE due to this "innocent little fact".) Our standard cover is 5" THICK, Tapering to a bit over 3.75", 2 LB. DENSITY with an inner support frame and locking safety straps.  THINK ABOUT IT: "HEAT RISES" !!!          About the construction and materials:        The "Village Cove" is built with incredible care. Starting with the cabinet frame built with KILN DRIED AND PRESSURE TREATED 2X4's to help keep the spa from changing shape due to the demands of weight , pressure, and the elements (amazingly, many spa cabinets use only regular 2X2's or 1X3's!). ***** Because tub is being built as I write this, Winning Bidder may choose from the following CABINET EXTERIORS : At NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE, CHOOSE FROM: Maintenance free "DuraTemp" Cabinet Panels with custom cedar accents in "Coastal Grey" or "Redwood" colors. (DuraTemp is a composite, maintenance free exterior material, manufactured with it's own composite "color layer"; it is strong, durable, easy to own and 5x stronger than natural wood).   Spa shell is LUCITE (tm), an extremely resilient , slip-resistant, low maintenance material made from acrylic (no more polishing every season!) which has the look of Granite and a softer feel. Winning Bidder will also CHOOSE SPA SHELL to be Handcrafted in "Starry Blue", "Moonscape" (sandy beige), "Galaxy Green" (deep mossy green), "Lunar" (Grey with gradients of Black to White) or "Eclipse" (Black with gradients of Dark Grey to White)(Eclipse shown in main photo).  All Jets and Headrests are medium grey in color.         All pressurized plumbing fittings are triple-lock fitted, sealed and thoroughly water tested for a long-lasting, watertight fit. Closed-cell foam is generously applied (yet leaving some “breathing area” so pumps and controls can shed heat and last longer) to insulate inside the Spa shell and cabinet for all climates and utilize all available heat, conserving energy.          Modern “Shell-Over-Cabinet” design is used here to prevent water from settling at area where shell used to "meet with cabinet" (on older “WOOD-LIP” spa designs) so that water does not SIT, (errode seal) then SEEP into interior of cabinet. Shell-Over-Cabinet design can easily DOUBLE the life of a Spa by preventing DRY ROT. ***There Is NO REASON that anyone should have to settle for the technically OBSOLETE “Wood-Lip” design. ( It’s NOT PRETTY, but I can send photos of what a “Wood-Lip” Spa looks like after 6-7 years of DRY-ROT)*** Note: Be careful of "cropped" photos where you can't see the hidden "wood-lip" design.           On the issue of "radiant barrier" "insulation" :      It has come to my attention that some erroneous information about different types of insulation is being irresponsibly portrayed in some auctions. Feel free to ask me if you desire any additional enlightenment on this subject. DB    ABS Heavy-Duty PLASTIC BOTTOM SHEILD assists with keeping the elements (and rodents) out of your spa , and your Heat IN.  220 Volt 50 amp system WITH BUILT IN FREEZE CONTROL   ZERO BYPASS filters (easy maintenance) help to keep debris from depositing in and clogging your plumbing, pumps, jets, heater, etc. (it's a GOOD thing).        Ask how you can receive FREE MICROBAN AntiMicrobial Agent (molded into shell surface to help fight bacteria build-up) THIS Totals OVER $800 WORTH OF USEFUL SPA ACCESSORIES, available FREE to the WINNING BIDDER!!        Bid With Confidence!

If we thought you wanted "bubbles" we'd throw in a family-size can of beans! (heck, at 35 cents a piece for micro-jets, the beans would cost us more!) =;) Ask about our Soothing Waterfalls, DIGITAL Fibre-Optic and LED Multi-Colored Lighting, as well as our Marine Quality Kenwood Stereo Systems (200 WATT) with water resistant hidden Speakers for our Tubs. (stereo photo shown for example; not included with spa) ASK ABOUT OUR: Specially treated, Finish-Grade, Red Western Cedar (VERY durable and VERY Beautiful), finished in A)Rich Natural Color stain/sealant, B)"Coastal Grey" (driftwood) or C)"Redwood" colors. Please be sure to ask any questions you may have, well ahead of time so that I can provide you with an answer.    **Good Luck and have Fun, arthog **   Please note: The spa shown in blue is the same acrylic shell with FEWER jets than YOURS will have. ( I simply wanted to show you one in BLUE. )     Please Note: While we do show some photo examples with cabinets in cedar, this material has become extremely expensive in smaller quantities. We use current photo in cedar primarily to show basic cabinet shape. Because the vast majority of our orders have requested the Maintenance-Free DuraTemp, we can no longer order the cedar in a quantity which allows us to include it in the purchase price. From this point forward we will have to charge additional for the cedar, so please bid accordingly and please ask if you do have a question about this. Thanks again, arthog Place a Bid!
