Clean Water

It Doesn’t Get Any Cleaner or Easier Than with a Marquis

You deserve clean water all the time and with minimal effort. That's why you'll find the innovative water management systems of Marquis Spas practically maintenance free. Marquis’ Smart Clean Filtration System knows when you've used the spa and automatically filters any residue immediately after each hot tub use – when it’s needed the most. Marquis’ Vortex skimmers filter 100 percent of your spa water more than 53 times a day, from the surface to floor, reducing the need for cleaning and vacuuming. Now that's clean. Marquis’ Constant Clean Water Management System is the most complete spa water care system available. Every Marquis spa comes standard with the Marquis Ozonator – it works hard to destroy microorganisms on contact, faster than chlorine, reducing the need for sanitizers. Water care has never been easier with the Spa Frog® built-in sanitation system, standard on all Marquis spas – it’s like cruise control for your hot tub. Just balance the water initially, set the mineral and bromine cartridges and you’re off having fun!  See a full line of Marquis Spas at Spa Brokers…We Make It Easy!

Spa Construction

Marquis’ Durable Surfaces Are Made for Colorado

Bring on Colorado’s sun, snow and the nastiest weather. Marquis’ DuraShell® acrylic interior takes the punishment of brutal elements and chemicals; resists cracking, fading, and blistering. It forms beautifully to provide splash guard coping that keeps water spills to a minimum; embossed tile; and supportive headrests that won’t disintegrate over time like foam pillows in other hot tubs.  Easy-to-clean DuraWood is Marquis’ wood-grained exterior formed of a UV-resistant synthetic material. It resists water damage, scratches, dents, and retains its "like new" appearance. Available in two colors to coordinate with your spa environment: Cedar and Driftwood. Or go natural with a fine finish Shiplap Cedar. Marquis’ DuraBase, the bottom of every Marquis Spa is formed from a solid sheet of high-impact, textured acrylic that won't fail or need repainting. It's steel-reinforced to provide solid hot tub support and protect your entire spa base from nicks, dents, water damage and pests.  Check out a Marquis Spas at Spa Brokers…We Make It Easy!

Therapy & Relief

Nobody Does it Better Than Marquis

Marquis Spas deliver true Hydro Kinetic™ Therapy, where water, heat, flow, and friction meet — the basics of hydrotherapy. Marquis has developed many innovative methods to deliver soothing and revitalizing hydrotherapy. Marquis’ Tri-Zone Hydrotherapy is like three spas in one. Extensive high-flow jetting systems provide maximum water flow for penetrating heat that increases blood flow and loosens tight muscles without punishing pressure. But more than that, Marquis’ Tri-Zone Hydrotherapy delivers three levels of relief to your body in one spa: 1) overall body/upper-, mid-, and lower-back massage; 2) isolated/lower-body massage; and 3) isolated/upper-body massage therapy. Marquis also has patented HK40 jets that are small in size and produce up to 40 gallons per minute. Unlike larger jets, HK40 jets can be strategically positioned to enable you a soothing massage on every level for maximum spa benefits. Our HK8 neck jets are above the hot tub’s waterline where they reach your neck and relieve your tension. Finally, Marquis’ footwell therapy system takes on your aching feet and calves, and is within reach from any seat within the spa.

Save Energy

A Key Marquis Feature

Colorado has extreme climate changes, and Marquis Spas are designed to save you money. Plus it only costs pennies a day to operate. Marquis’ solid foam insulation and Low-E spa wrap prevent heat from escaping through the spa walls and base and have proven to be the best method of hot tub heat retention. Marquis’ 4”-2.5” tapered DuraCover is made from 2 lb. density foam to prevent dents — it supports over 100 lbs. of additional weight compared to standard covers. The linear heat seal holds in heat where it’s most likely to escape, significantly reducing energy consumption. So, operating your spa costs less than $1 a day! Marquis's 56-frame motor saves energy by running cooler and more efficiently than the small circulation pumps found in other manufacturer's spas. It moves as much water through the filtration system in two hours as a small circulation pump moves in 24 hours, which means they operate through the peak energy periods. Our jet pump’s Viton® seal ensures the spa runs quietly, and our stainless steel heater is safe and reliable. The vented spa equipment compartment safe guards components and helps prevent overheating. In addition to saving you money, Marquis has a method of conserving our natural resources. Marquis spas can be set to run in one of three different modes. Each of these modes can be set to run during off-peak hours, often at a significant savings in cost per kilowatt-hour. Save energy and money with a Marquis Spa, only at Spa Brokers…We Make It Easy!

Reliability

Nothing Runs Like a Marquis Spa

Every Marquis spa is UL approved for safety and contains completely reliable components. Our transferable Owner's Protection Plan is the most straightforward and comprehensive in the business. Marquis' comfort controls are waterproof which, unlike many of our competitors, allows them to be placed inside the spa – convenient to you. They're preprogrammed, practically fail-proof and fast to react. The hot tub’s control panel window features a timer that displays the number of minutes you've been soaking. Maintenance reminders to clean the filters and/or change the water automatically display on a preset schedule. The 10-button control system is available on the Reward and Epic. The 4-button system is available with your Quest, Everyday Hot Tub, or Hideaway Hot Tub. A floating remote for operating the therapy system is available for Marquis and Everyday Hot Tub — always within arms' reach.  All Marquis Spas are approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) because we go the extra distance for safety; one of few manufacturers who do so. Make sure to look for the UL sticker posted on every spa. Finally, Marquis covers the exterior and interior surfaces, structure and plumbing of all of our spas for a full seven years. Marquis also covers all major spa components and systems for five years. No exclusions. Plus, all factory-installed parts on your Marquis spa are covered for the first three years. We've provided the best coverage on the parts you need, from fuses to pumps. Then again, we don't expect anything will go wrong with your hot tub. The Owner’s Protection Plan is transferable to subsequent owners. So relax, with a Marquis Spa, only at Spa Brokers…We Make It Easy!

Fireplace Buying Tips

Installation must be done in strict accordance with local or national building codes, and the unit's installation manual. We recommend that all fireplaces be installed by a factory-trained professional from Spa Brokers.

Gas Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces add ambience and warmth to any room of the home, all at the touch of a button. Enjoy the comfort of a fireplace in your home while benefiting from the cleanliness and efficiency a gas appliance offers. When converting a Wood-Burning Fireplace to Gas, a key decision is how important is heating efficiency. If you want a lot of heat from your fireplace, you should consider a direct vent gas insert. From a cost standpoint, an insert will cost approximately five times the cost of a nice gas log set. However, since the insert is very efficient, it will pay for itself over a period of a few years in gas bill savings. Spa Brokers offers a full line of inserts and vented gas logs to choose from. In many cases a gas fireplace has several facing and trim options. Fireplaces can be given a "face lift" by changing the stone facing or surrounds, and wood mantel options. At Spa Brokers, we can give you more details on the options for your particular fireplace.

Wood Fireplaces

Spa Brokers features wood burning fireplaces that are efficient and clean burning. Wood fireplaces come in two types – free standing and inserts – but all combine beauty and elegance. Wood burning fireplaces are perfect for large homes, as well as smaller spaces such as basements and cabins. Spa Brokers features wood fireplaces by Lopi and Fireplace Xtrordinair with many models to choose from. Both manufacturers make models that have incredible heating capacity and distribute heat evenly. Features include quiet yet powerful blowers, and a single control to adjust airflow making it easy to achieve burn times up to 12 hours long. Modern wood fireplaces make it easy to manage combustion air flow with only one control for maximum ease of use. Draft by-pass dampers ensure quick fire start-up and smokeless refueling. Blower rheostats are located on the side of the panel trim, and are convenient and unobtrusive. Many wood fireplace designs are also functional, providing cooking and warming surfaces as well as radiant heat, and with extra-large viewing areas allowing you to fully appreciate the splendor of the fire inside.  Models come in many door colors and designs, and with etched glass and some even feature an aromatherapy option. Wood fireplaces are perfect for zone heating in just the space you use daily while reducing your central heating costs by more than 70%.Visit Spa Brokers to see a full line of wood fireplaces.

Electric Fireplaces

For those who want the heat and ambiance of a fireplace, but wood and gas aren’t practical, Spa Brokers features innovative technology in electric fireplaces. Electric fireplaces use optic technology with a rotisserie flame and a glowing ember bed to look like a wood fire. They can be finished off with wood cabinets, brick, stone, marble and marble or a wide variety of finishing products for fireplaces. They can fit into almost any room, and can be used with or without the standard heater, meaning the “flames” can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere, without worrying about the heat. Some designs can fit into existing masonry or prefabricated fireplaces, opening up opportunities where wood or where gas isn’t practical. Within minutes, an electric fireplace can be installed and plugged in, and optional fronts and surrounds can be added to change the look of the room and reflect the homeowner’s tastes. Features include hanging mesh screen, thermostatically controlled heater, optional remote control, optional refractory, and much more.  Check out an electric fireplace at Spa Brokers, We Make It Easy!

Sauna Buying Tips

Spa Brokers features Finnleo Saunas in three types – traditional, steam and infrared – and each provides a different sauna experience.  Settle into a Finnleo Sauna and let its warmth go to work. Just feel those muscles relax and the aches and tension fade away. Calories are burned and your skin feels renewed; you breathe clearly and deeply. Once again, body and soul are refreshed and ready to take on the world. The pleasure of sauna bathing begins with the sauna’s elegant appearance. Finnleo has excelled at brining you Europe’s latest design concepts and renowned quality, offering unlimited options and sauna accessories. For even the most discerning tastes, pre-cut sauna rooms have taken sauna design to new heights. Any Finnleo personal sauna is the perfect place to calm down and let the soothing warmth lead one’s thoughts into the paths of meditation.   Spend quality time with friends and family in your sauna. Finnleo’s superb sauna design, allows your home outdoor sauna to tie into its surroundings effortlessly. Doubling as a pool house, they are perfect for entertaining poolside, spa-side, near the patio, or lakeside. Finnleo Saunas feature clean, contemporary styling, highly prized woods, and quality craftsmanship, and make a designer Finnish sauna the ultimate in luxury and comfort. Finnelo Saunas are modular and prefabricated with each board individually selected and finished, and each door and window handmade to meet the most lavish tastes. The Finnleo Sisu series has become the “Classic” of the residential sauna industry. This traditional Finnish Sauna is made exclusively of fine-grained Nordic White Spruce, to provide a light and well-ventilated interior with a subtle hint of deep Finnish Forests. True to Finnleo design, it is offered in unlimited designs from personal size to club size. If you need a custom cut sauna, Finnelo can accommodate any special design or unique location. A custom designed pre-cut sauna package that comes with everything you need and ready for installation in the perfect area of your home.

Here are some additional Sauna tips: A non-absorbent floor is necessary such as a floor made of cement, tile and some vinyls. Never use carpet. Heater size is determined by the L x W x H to calculate cubic footage. Find the correct heater on the Finnleo® heater sizing chart at www.Finnleo.com  Standard circuit breakers are mandatory, properly sized for the heater according to the National Electric Code. When it comes to Sauna woods, we recommend Nordic White Spruce and Abachi. Together, these two woods make your sauna a beautiful, low-maintenance haven. Nordic White Spruce is tight-grained and creates a clean, spacious, contemporary look. When heated it emits a subtle forest scent. It resists staining, discoloration and odor absorption. Abachi, a light wood that remains comfortable to the touch at high temperatures, resists staining and will not splinter. Regarding Sauna operating costs, if used 3 times per week, a 6 kW heater will use about $4/month in energy. A 2.1 kW heater would use about $1.50 per month. For Sauna heat-up time, a sauna typically heats up in 30-45 minutes. During this time period the rocks will be properly heated – for soft heat and soft steam – and the wood interior will be comfortably heated, too. Temperature range depends on user's preference, but is typically between 150 and 175 degrees Fahrenheit. When using a sauna, use common sense as to what feels comfortable. Typically, stay in the sauna for 10-15 minutes, step out and cool off, then return to the sauna for another "inning." Repeat as desired but don't overdo it. Set the temperature and humidity level to your comfort level. If you begin to feel uncomfortable, leave the sauna and cool off. You can I pour water on the rocks on Finnleo's heaters, in fact it’s encouraged. It is an essential part of the sauna experience. After taking a sauna, take a shower or bath to cleanse your skin of salts and residues left behind. A cool rinse will close your pores and leave you feeling refreshed. Don't forget to moisturize your hair and skin with a quick shampoo and a lotion rubdown. Drink water, mineral water, fruit or vegetable juice to replace lost fluids. An Infrared Therapy Room provides soothing heat, directly radiated to the body, with almost no time waiting for preheating. The far-infrared radiant heat induces a deep sweat – for cleansing the body and for burning calories. An Infrared Sauna is perfect as a heat therapy room for athletes looking for a pre-workout warm-up to help prevent injury by warming up muscles and increasing flexibility. It’s also ideal for physical therapy and massage therapy or for a relaxing wind down at the end of a stress-filled day. Consult your physician if you have a history of heart problems, high blood pressure or other health problems. Visit Spa Brokers see the full line of Finnleo Saunas.  Spa Brokers, We Make It Easy!
