Paul and Chris lead our team of spa experts. With years of combined experience in the sale and maintenance of Marquis spas between them, you might say they know it all.
Take a look at some frequently asked questions or email a question directly.
Many factors are involved in
making a decision: family size, installation space and budget,
to name a few. The very best way to determine which spa is
right for your needs is to talk with your local dealer
about your specific needs and test soak, test soak, test soak!
We encourage you to test soak every model you are considering
- even models from other manufacturers. After you've purchased
a spa is not the time to discover it's not what you thought it
would be.
What kind of requirements should
I consider regarding installation?
Your tub needs to be placed in
an area where it will rest on a solid, level surface. A wood
deck or concrete pad are popular
surfaces. After
installation, watch for any settling or erosion that could
move the hot tub out of level.
Are Marquis Spas & Hot Tubs difficult to
care for?
No, not at all. Marquis Spas & Hot Tubs
virtually maintain themselves. There is some minor maintenance
needed, but you'll spend far more time enjoying your spa than
maintaining it.
That depends on the model, climate and usage. But, you can estimate the cost to be £30 per month on average. The low operational costs are due to the extra steps Marquis takes to ensure the highest quality, lowest maintenance, and most efficient spa on the market. We insulate the spa with heat reflecting Low-E spa wrap around the entire spa in addition to full foam insulation. The adjustable straps and linear heat seal assure the cover is sealed and energy efficient. The high-output, low-amperage industrial duty pumps run cool and work smoothly to keep operational cost to a minimum.
Does a Marquis spa include an
ozonator or can one be installed?
Marquis Spas & Hot Tubs installs a water management system with an ozonator as standard on all models.
Ozone is a natural and easy way to maintain your water,
and reduce the amount of chemicals necessary to maintain
sparkling clean water. Ozone burns up organics in your water
thousands of times faster than chlorine.
Marquis does not measure the
pump performance in horsepower. The true measure of a pump is
in LPM or litres per minute. Many consumers are misled by
inaccurate or overrated pump performance. Don't be fooled by
the concept that bigger is better. The truth is bigger might
be worse. The only way to be certain whether a pump's
performance is adequate for your needs is to get in and test
soak.
Not necessarily - the more jets you have may just mean that the massage power is simply diluted through the additional jets. What is important is that the jets should be well positioned and full sized, like our HK40 jet that provides soothing high-flow, low pressure therapy.
Can I buy my Marquis spa

Dual speed pumps
Other spa manufacturers use jet pumps that offer only one setting — either on or off.
All Marquis Spas & Hot Tubs feature dual-speed therapy pumps with a high-speed setting for deep heat penetration, or a low-speed setting that delivers relaxing, passive therapy.

location since 1980.
