Marquis Spas
- Mid-class and luxury-class spas
- Focus on luxury
- Anti-aging treatment optional
- Customizable features
Marquis Spas is an employee-owned company and has been around since 1980. They specialize in mid-range spas which seat from two to seven people. They are beautiful, luxurious spas that provide hydrotherapy to relax the body. Their five collections have more than twenty models available in roughly the $8,000 - $16,000 range. Marquis does include a cover, which many companies do not, so it's something to take into consideration when looking for hot tubs.
Marquis is proud of their "Big 3"
Also included is a cover, which many companies do not include. There's full-foam insulation in the cover to reduce heat loss, saving money on electricity.
- High-Flow Therapy is a process to deliver much water at a low pressure to achieve the effect of gentle but deep muscle penetration. High-Flow Therapy targets different body zones with its massive flow volumes. You can adjust the water flow between the deep tissue zones with the specialized massage jets.
- ConstantClean+ is their water-management system. This system in combination with their SmartClean software schedules a high-volume clean cycle twice daily. It also schedules a cleaning within 30 minutes of each spa use. Some series include one of these two features, some include both.
- MicroSilk injects microbubbles into the water when the massage jets aren't active, and the skin is then cleansed and detoxified more deeply than having non-oxygenated water. These tiny bubbles are tinier than skin pores, so they can penetrate the epidermal layer and remove contaminants. It can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help with skin irritation.

Available options
You can choose a pump with a higher flow rate, audio features with a receiver, twin speakers, and a subwoofer with Bluetooth connectivity, smart technology for your Apple or Android device to monitor and control the tub's temperatures and settings, and control the pumps, lights, filtration cycles from afar. Your cover is included, but you might want a cover lift to make it easier to lift and lower the cover. For easier access to the spa you can purchase steps, or add on a storage bench. For a more luxurious experience, you can include multi-point LED interior spa lighting, exterior accent lighting, and/or stainless steel jet faces. For increased performance, consider buying an additional pump.

Challenging to get prices
If you'd like a brochure, you'll need to submit your contact information. If you'd like pricing, you're required to contact a dealer. Not even general pricing is available on the website. The prices we received were from one dealer, and they could vary depending on where you live. These extra steps as well as sharing personal information are a downside here.
Marquis Spas offers innovative options at a mid-range price
The high-flow water system offering a powerful but gentle, deep massage sounds heavenly, doesn't it? And the oxygenation system gently beading oxygen on your skin, cleansing and purifying sounds quite gratifying. These options are unique to Marquis Spas, and so is offering a cover at no additional cost. Marquis has a wide range of spas at the mid-price range, it's employee-owned, and offers spa experiences to children in the Make-A-Wish program.
Room to improve
We Marquis Spas offered pricing, or at least price ranges, on their website, as well as a brochure with more detailed features and specifications - so that there wasn't the additional, and perhaps lengthy, step of contacting a dealer and giving away personal information. We also wish it had hot tubs at an entry-level for those who want the luxury of just having a spa. For all these reasons, Marquis Spas earns a better-than-average rating but comes up a little short of earning our highest recommendation.

Hot Tub FAQ
Continued from above...
Even still, you can customize by choosing a level that best suits your needs and then add on features to make your spa into your own style. Prices often start around $3,000 and with more luxury and more add-ons, you can reach a price tag of over $20,000. Remember that the price may not include delivery and probably does not include installation. In fact, some spa companies don't offer installation, which may mean you'll have to hire out.
As you shop around for a hot tub, there are so many things to consider! It can be overwhelming trying to understand all of the options and which spa design is going to be the ideal fit for what you've pictured in your mind for fun and relaxation. You can focus your search more effectively by knowing what you prefer in these areas:
- Size. Hot tubs can vary in size from three to ten seats, so think about how many people you'll want to have in your spa at once. If you're looking for small and intimate, and perhaps have limited space, consider a tub that seats 3-4 people. Larger tubs can seat 7-10 people; these will have a larger footprint in your space and take longer to heat, which means more stress on your utility bill. There may also be an option for lounge seating in your tub. You would sit more reclined, and there would be more jets along the length of your body. It's a great feature, but each lounger can take the spot of two regular seats, so plan accordingly.
- Type of hydromassage. Some brands offer a gentle, low pressure, all-water massage and others have a powerful half-water/half-air jet stream for a deep massage. There are other jet options to choose from for your comfort, such as leg, feet, and neck jets, or a wrap-around-the-side body stream for more of an all-over effect.
- Location and environment. Plan where you will like your spa. Is there room enough for the size you are considering? Most tubs are about 7' x 7', but yours will be bigger if you want to seat more people. The factors to consider for weather are the cover and insulation. The full-foam insulated covers help keep the interior from the elements and extreme temperatures, as most of the heat is lost through the top of the tub. The insulation helps keep the heat inside and prevents the heater from overworking itself.
- Local availability. Can you visit a dealer in person to see the hot tubs on the showroom floor, or even get a "wet test" where you can try it out with water in it? You can see how strong the jets are and how it feels when you adjust them to your body.
- Reputation. It's always a good idea to see what other customers have to say about the hot tub company. Keep in mind that the installation and servicing may be done by a third-party business, so you'll want to look into their track record as well.
