personal preferences and desires. What a salesman may say is "the best" in the industry, may in fact
be extremely uncomfortable for you. This is part of why "wet testing" is so important. Yes, wet testing....
Take your swim suit and towel to the dealership and actually try out the spa you're considering buying!
Another reason for wet testing is that the buoyancy created by water can completely change the feeing from
sitting in a spa dry. |
