How do I know which Marquis spa is right for me?
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.

How much does it cost to run a spa?
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.

What is the horsepower of your pumps?
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.

How many jets should a spa have? Are more better?
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.
top 
Can I buy my Marquis spa factory-direct and save money?
Marquis Spas & Hot Tubs are available through our carefully selected network of dealers only. This allows us to ensure you receive the best possible product with the best possible service. We maintain a broad base of dealers across the nation to sell and service our products. You may pay a little more for a Marquis spa. But it's worth every penny.
top 
What is the maximum temperature of a Marquis spa?
The maximum temperature possible for any Marquis hot tub or spa is 40°C. The recommended bathing temperature is 38°C.

How long has Marquis Spas been in business?

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.
