7 Steps to Hot Tub Buying Success

Questions to Ask Before You Buy

Thinking of buying a new hot tub? An exciting purchase for sure, but one that often leaves people running for the nearest dealer without stopping to consider much except relaxing and rejuvenating from the comforts of home.

Don’t make the mistake of letting your excitement crowd your better judgment.

Take some time to familiarize yourself with some key information and answer a few questions before you lay out your credit card. Doing so will ensure that you make an informed decision when and if you’re ready to purchase.

After all, a quality hot tub is an investment you and your family are sure to enjoy for years to come. Shop wisely and smile a little brighter knowing you made the most informed, conscientious decision possible.

OK, let’s get started…



Question #1 Have You Decided Where You’ll be Putting Your Hot Tub?

Inside or Outside? - Where exactly to place your new hot tub is something that you need to be crystal clear about before making your purchase. In most cases, you will decide on an outside location, but don’t let that dissuade you from considering other options.

Some homes are fully equipped to handle the weight and ventilation requirements of an interior hot tub. In fact, enjoying your new hot tub from the comforts of inside your home can be quite relaxing.

For safety and performance, make certain to take into consideration special requirements for placing your hot tub indoors. Discuss this possibility with your vendor beforehand and be sure to get specific weight requirements in writing.

Privacy Concerns - If you’ve already decided on the perfect outdoor location, stop and reflect for a minute on the view. What may appear to be the perfect spot to gaze out across the backyard in the summer, may not be as private during the winter months. Consider trees and

shrubbery that can change with the seasons, adding to or eliminating privacy.

Convenience - Additionally, consider where the door to re-enter your home is located in relation to the hot tub. Walking a few steps down the path to return to the house may be fine when the weather is warm, but in colder temperatures or worse with snow on the ground, the path may not seem so effortless. Consider a location that gives you the best privacy while at the same time, offers the most convenient path back to the house.

Spa Base - You may consider putting your hot tub on your existing patio or deck. If you're not sure where to put your hot tub, ask the dealer if they will come to do a free backyard consulatation to help you decide.



Question #2How Many People will be Using the Spa on a Regular Basis?

Size and Shape - The truth is, when it comes to hot tubs, size does matter. Consider who will be using the spa on a regular basis and then decide if that includes friends and family. Perhaps you live with your spouse and won’t be needing room for anyone else.

Maybe you’re a couple that enjoys socializing with friends and will most likely be throwing hot tub parties for your best pals. The good news is that there are more than enough shapes and sizes to satisfy every need.

Nevertheless, the most common size hot tub is generally large enough to accommodate 5-7 people comfortably. You can find them with and without lounges, with space to stretch out and even lie down comfortably.

Alternatively, you may be considering a hot tub for therapy reasons and if this is the case, make sure to consider not only the number of available seats, but also the length, width and depth dimensions as well. These are questions to consider carefully because you don’t want to realize after purchasing your hot tub that you do not have adequate room.

Do you like to lounge in a hot tub or sit up? Look at different hot tub models that have what you are looking for. Maybe you like more "free seating" to get a larger family in the hot tub. Or possibly, you like to lay down in a lounge seat while you get a full body massage. OR maybe, you and your spouse want different things...look for a hot tub that has a lounge seat AND free seating!



Question #3How Easy will it be to Maintain my Hot Tub? The answer to this question varies significantly based on how often you plan on using your hot tub. Similar to a vehicle, the more you drive it, the more frequently you will need to get it tuned up. Rest assured, even regular use of your hot tub does not require extensive maintenance, but be prepared to invest a little time with general upkeep.

Adjusting PH balances and chlorine levels requires a little bit of energy, but nothing more than a few minutes a couple of times per week. In fact, they sell test strips which makes the entire process super easy and convenient.

In addition, you will want to change the water in your hot tub every 3, 4 or 6 months depending on how often you use it. Finally, if you live in an area where the UV rays from the sun are strong, you may want to consider using a conditioning agent on your cover once a month to avoid fading or cracking.



Question #4 Will I Have to Use Harsh Chemicals to Keep My Spa Water Clean?While all spa water requires some additives to keep it clean, there are alternatives to the harsh chemicals sold in stores. In fact, there are sanitizing systems which are hands-free, making keeping your spa water clean and fresh even easier.

Question #5How Much will it Cost to Run My Hot Tub on a Monthly Basis?

Good question - and one that gets neglected far too often when considering a hot tub purchase. The truth is there are lots of variables involved that make it more cost effective for some people to run a hot tub than others. For instance, the climate where you live and the cost of electricity play a significant role in approximating monthly cost. The cost for someone living in Florida where average temperatures year round don’t fall much below 60 degrees would be different for someone in Colorado where temperatures are significantly colder.

Nevertheless, there are other variables you can control as in how often you use your hot tub and the temperature you set it at

You can also keep operating costs at a minimum by considering energy efficient models. Energy efficient hot tubs are designed with cost savings in mind. LED lighting, high performance pumps and heaters and insulation combine to provide maximum performance with minimum energy.

Energy efficient hot tubs cost less to operate- in some cases, up to 1/3 less than more traditional hot tubs. Make certain to ask your vendor if they provide models that are designed with efficiency in mind.



Question #6 How Important is the Brand of Spa I Buy, Aren’t Most Hot Tubs the Same? Absolutely not! In fact, much like your car, different models and manufacturers vary not only in terms of quality and craftsmanship, but energy efficiency and usability as well.

Choosing the right brand can make all the difference in the world when it comes to comfort, convenience and overall happiness with your hot tub. Remember, the least expensive hot tub is not necessarily the worst and vice versa.

So how do you choose between brands and what makes one more attractive than another? Not an easy question to answer, but there are a few tricks to help you more easily assess each brand. Visit the company website and read about the business.

How long have they been selling hot tubs? Have they received any patents for products they manufacture? How about awards? Have they earned recognition for a particularly exceptional product or service?

Learning a little about the background of a manufacturer can tell you a great deal about their business philosophy and likely, their products. Finally, you can always check the Better Business Bureau for discovering useful information that can help you make a more informed decision before you buy.



Question #7How Do I Know if I am Buying From the Right/Best Hot Tub Dealer?

There really is no one “right” or “wrong” hot tub dealer, but you can certainly do your homework and make good decisions as a result. Try to look for dealers and manufacturers that have been in business for more than twenty years.

Generally speaking, if a business has been able to stay open for a couple of decades or more, it implies stability with both sales and service. Most of your fly-by-night manufacturers or dealers selling less than quality products are identified within the first few years- and shut down.

Also, another easy way to identify a quality dealer is to see if they have multiple locations. Again, most dealers cannot afford to branch out unless the business is financially sound and reputable.

Finding the one best dealer may not be practical, but you can at least get peace of mind that comes from knowing you have taken some time to think about these things.

Protect your investment the same way you protect your family- be a smart shopper and make wise choices when it comes to spending your money. Doing so can only ensure you purchase a quality, durable and efficient hot tub that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

Look at a dealer's reputation, record of success, and reviews. Look online for Google, Yelp, and Angie's List reviews. What are other consumer's saying about them?
