Frequently Asked Questions

 

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 to us 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 spa needs to be placed in an area where it will rest on a solid, level surface. A wood deck, concrete pad or pea gravel area are all popular surfaces. Be sure to check your local codes and after installation, watch for any settling or erosion that could move the spa out of level.
Are Marquis spas difficult to care for?
No, not at all. Marquis spas 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 slightly on the model, climate and usage. But, you can estimate the cost to run at £10 to £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® is the only manufacturer that installs a water management system with a solid-state ozonator in every spa of our standard product line. 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 bacteria and organic matter in your water thousands of times faster than chlorine
Why don't you have pillows on your spas?
The material spa pillows are made from do not stand up to the heat and chemicals of the spa environment. That's why you don't find the inclusion of pillows in our competitors' warranties. Marquis Spas does not install any items made from materials we can't stand behind with a warranty. If you feel you would still like to have pillows in your spa, a selection is available in our Essentials catalog, just give us a call!
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.
Can I buy my Marquis spa factory-direct and save money?
Marquis spas 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.
What happens if I buy a Marquis spa and my dealer goes out of business? Will I still have a warranty? Who will do the warranty work?
The warranty you receive is provided by Marquis Spas. In the rare case a dealer does go out of business, Marquis Spas locates another dealer or service company in your area to ensure our customers continue to receive service.
What is the maximum temperature of a Marquis spa?
The maximum approved set temperature for any spa is 104°F. This has a variance of 3°F. Which means the spa cannot be set above 104°F but the temperature can fluctuate to as high as 107°F and still be within standards.
How long has Marquis Spas® been in business?
Marquis Spas is celebrating their silver anniversary of manufacturing spas in the same Oregon location.
