We found Barefoot spas by going to a store down the street from our house in Clearwater Florida. We looked at several different spas and found the Barefoot 88NP to be the best of what we saw for the price. we got to see it running with water in it, and compared it to others there at the store. So glad we did that becuase this one really has the power we want and need. The pumps are 5hp each x3! Really gets the water moving. Very happy with the spa.
