Who it suits
Sized for the night everyone turns up.
The 965L seats 8. In practice that means you are buying for gatherings, not for Tuesday. Worth being honest with yourself about how often that happens — though a big spa is still a good spa with two people in it.
One seat is a full-length lounger. People tend to feel strongly about these in both directions: it is the most comfortable seat in the spa, and it is also one fewer place to sit. If the household is large, look at the all-bench version of the same shell before deciding.
At 65 jets this is at the strong end of the range. Expect noticeably more pressure than an entry-level spa, and expect to spend a while working out which seat you like best. Comfort and recovery after a hard day outside — not a substitute for medical treatment.
Owning one here
What the 965L asks of your yard.
Getting it in
The 965L is 91 inches across its narrow side. Measure your gate, the gap between the house and the fence, and any corner it has to turn — that number is the one that decides whether delivery is straightforward or needs a crane.
What it stands on
Dry it weighs 967 pounds. Full, with people in it, you are closer to 6,700 pounds. That needs a proper pad or a deck an engineer has looked at — not paving slabs laid on soil.
Power
Plan on a dedicated 240-volt circuit installed by a licensed electrician, wired to your local code. Book that before the delivery date rather than after — it is the usual reason a spa sits unused for a fortnight.
Colorado winters
At 525 gallons there is a lot of thermal mass here, which works in your favour on a cold night: a big body of water gives up heat slowly. Put it somewhere sheltered from the prevailing wind if you have the choice, and think about where the snow comes off your roof.
Keeping it easy
Regency Care handles maintenance, water chemistry and repairs on this model once it is yours. Water care is the part that decides whether ownership feels relaxing or like a chore.
