Marquis Spas are one of a handful of dominant manufacturers
in the US and have teamed up with market leading
wet leisure distributor Golden Coast in the UK. The
Epic is the new flagship model in the Marquis range
and boasts all the features and mod cons that Marquis
have to offer.
The Marquis ethos focuses on what is important
to spa owners; good build quality, low running
costs, ease of maintenance, hydrotherapy and comfort…and
frankly it shows in the product, particularly in
the top of the line models such as the Epic.
The Epic boasts a whole host of unique features
such as the Tri-Zone hydrotherapy system, which
enables bathers to directly target specific areas
of the body for a customisable massage experience. We
particularly liked the massage pillars and the
Adirondack lounge seat. Since different seats
massage different areas of the body, as you move
from seat to seat the overall massage experience
is second to none once you have visited every area
of the spa.
For those looking beyond hydrotherapy, the Epic
is versatile and offers a good variety of seating
levels for all members of the family and boasts
an oversized footwell which will guarantee ample
space for 6 people.
The floating waterproof IR remote control makes
the spa extremely easy to operate from any seat
and the Dolphin universal remote is available as
an option with sonar connectivity to your home
audio system via multiple transducers for spa and
music lovers.
The Epic comes packed as standard with ozone,
mineral purification and bromine dispensers built
in, which when combined with the automatic clean
up cycles which kick in directly after bather sessions
should make for an extremely easy spa to maintain.
The waterfall is pleasing to the senses and the
also provides a handy spot to put those all important
beverages (non-alchoholic of course!)
In terms of energy efficiency the insulation on
the Epic is the best we’ve seen so far so
should make for low energy consumption and help
to maintain nice hot water in the depths of winter. As
well as led spa lights as standard, the Marquis
range also comes with an exterior entryway light
which lights up the spa steps and ensures a sure-footed
entry and exit after dark.
The cabinet is synthetic and therefore maintenance
free and with 7 shell colours and 3 different cabinet
and cover colours to choose from there will inevitably
be a colour to suit all tastes.
Our Verdict:
There is no doubt that the build quality
on the Marquis range is up there with the best of
them. The Epic lives up to its reputation as
a spacious, well designed family spa with the emphasis
obviously placed on comfort and hydrotherapy. Whilst
the variety of jet types is not as extensive as we
have seen on other spas, the massage offered does
not suffer as a result and once you have moved around
all the seats the full body massage is excellent. The
topside controls do need a bit of working out but
once you are familiar with them the bather can really
customise their massage experience. Definitely
should make it onto your wet test list if you are
in the market for a full spec, prestige spa.
