Expert Advice

Before You Buy

Buying a hot tub is a big decision. Let The Spa Guy walk you through everything you need to know so you get the right spa for your needs β€” and no regrets.

Before You Buy Any Spa

1

The Golden Rule

For any item you are thinking of purchasing β€” If it's Cheap There's a Reason β€” and some reasons are not good!

2

Quality Is Never Cheap

There will never be ANYTHING quality that's Cheap.

3

If It's a Lot Less Money β€” Find Out Why

If it's a lot less money than another similar looking spa, check into what is missing. Example: Insulation. Insulation is very important in a machine that stays hot all of the time. Most Spa Manufacturers buy from the same few suppliers β€” therefore if you find a much less expensive machine, you are sacrificing something.

4

Big Box Stores Don't Service What They Sell

If you choose a spa from a discount store like Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Costco, etc. β€” remember they don't have a Service Department. You will be at the mercy of whoever is administering the warranty. There are very few Spa Service Companies, and most ONLY service what they sell.

5

Don't Buy from Someone Who Won't Be Around

If you choose a new spa from someone in the newspaper or Craigslist, they probably won't be around long. Beware of furniture stores that sell spas β€” do they have an in-house Service Department? Would you go to a car dealership to buy a couch? Then don't buy a spa from a couch store.

6

Only Buy American-Made Spas

Only buy Made In America spas. Chinese spas will be hard to get parts for, and The Spa Guy will not service them. You will be buying a spa that when it breaks will be like your TV β€” throw it away.

7

No In-House Service Department? Don't Buy.

If the company you are thinking of buying from does NOT have an in-house Service Department β€” DO NOT BUY from them. Hot Tubs are mechanical devices too. Don't bet on Joe!

8

Sales-First Companies Will Let You Down

If the company's main focus is sales, you will probably become a victim of that philosophy. Most sales people have no idea about service.
