There are many customers who can understand the efficiency of a quality product and value its reputation. Most people undergo lifestyle changes and hence adapt changes in their spa needs. People who are heading for retirement may not require the huge wooden hot tub which they had purchased, when the children were at home and the family was larger. On the other hand, there are other families which are growing and may require a larger hot tub.
In this way people have used hot tubs at home and would like to put them up for sale or exchange. Most of the hot tubs are generally in good conditions, or sometimes they could require a few minor repairs. A previously enjoyed hot tub is a great way to get into a new product without the investment.
If you buy a used hot tub from a shop or a dealer, there are several advantages. Generally all pre-owned hot tubs are tested and inspected by a technician. Often checks have also been carried out, where the hot tub is put up on blocks, filled with water and then run for a couple of hours. In this way leaks, heating and jet performance can be tested.
All the equipment belonging to the used tubs is thoroughly tested and the defective parts are replaced by new factory parts. The covers too are inspected to check if they are functional and then replaced. Some hot tubs are even given a fresh coat of paint.
If a dealer goes through these procedures, he sometimes offers a warranty, for the parts, against leaking, heater malfunction and jet malfunction. The manufacturers' warranties cannot be transferred from the first owner to the second.
On a private basis, it is quite difficult to find used hot tubs, because even portable hot tubs are of a semi-permanent nature. But you may be lucky and find someone selling a used hot tub in your neighborhood. Before you commit to a purchase, there are few things that one should check out.
Even a used tub is a big expenditure and you should make a thorough examination of the hot tub by examining the shell for signs of damage. If the side panels can be taken off, you should even look under the shell. Make sure that there are no cracks in the insulation and no signs of damage or leakage.
The pump and filtration equipment should also be checked. Make an experiment by filling the hot tub with water, so that you can see the leaks, if there are any. When it is filled with water, all the equipment should be turned on to make sure that the jets and everything else works. The display and the controls should also be working. In case of any doubt just ask about it, so that you can be confident of your expensive purchase.
