There are many reasons for wanting a new or used hot tub; perhaps to renew the love for day to day living or to spice up the looks of your home. Ask yourself, do you really want to be happy? Do you feel you really deserve it? Would it make your dreams a reality? If you answered yes, you are ready to begin. I strongly urge you to try hot tubs, to get your feet wet; I'll discuss different types and pros when purchasing new or used hot tubs.
Hot Tub Gazebos
After my own heart, hot tubs bring to mind notions of relaxation, indulgence, and fun. The styles and uses of hot tubs are many and once the decision to purchase a hot tub is made, the next decision is where to put it. Building a hot tub gazebo not only gives your new tub(or used hot tub) a place to call home but you can customize your gazebo to be as big or small and as multi-functional or simple as you want,
Gazebos can be made out of several different materials such as wood or vinyl. Vinyl gazebos have the benefit of being inherently moisture -resistant but they are usually more expensive than wood gazebos and often do not look as elaborate. Some woods are inherently moisture and rot-resistant such as cedar, teak and redwood and these are common materials used in constructing hot tub gazebos. Wood-vinyl composites provide the look of wood with the moisture-resistant properties of vinyl. Even with wood hot tub gazebos, treating the wood can make it last even longer then left untreated.
You can get a two-person hot tub designed for romance, or go for 12-person mega hot tubs for the biggest festivities imaginable. You are only limited by your imagination and the size of your space, just try to match your home decor.
Hot tubs For Sale
Don't get burned, there are many angles to selling a new or used hot tub. When you are given a presentation on hot tub spas, generally you will hear all about the horse power of the tub. You will hear about the fancy hot tub filters and the filtering systems. You will hear about open celled foam and closed cell foam. You will hear about the benefits to having an air blower and the hot tub heater.You will hear about the hot tub accessories, and the unique hot tub parts and features that no other spa manufacturer has. Fact is what you are hearing is a sales pitch! You'll never meet a sales person whose product isn't the best available.
What you need to do is listen to all the sales presentations in your area. Do not buy on impulse!!! A deal today will be a deal tomorrow, with very few exceptions!
What should you do when purchasing a hot tub? Remember, squeaky wheel gets the grease:
video tape the sales presentation if the sales person tells you that you cannot tape their presentation, for any reason, walk away and go to the next dealership.
There is a chance that they will think you are a competitor, if you believe they think this you can usually get them over it by giving them a business card.
Other than that there is no reason for them not to give you their presentation while you tape them.
This method of "keeping them honest" saved one man I read about a little over $20,000. He had a pool sales person come to his house and refuse to be video taped.
The man asked the salesman to leave!.
Two months later the company that this sales person was representing was on the news for ripping off their customers.
So if the idea of bringing a video camera with you makes you squeamish, remember it could save you thousands!
Just tell the sales man you are taping them so you can review all the information later at home.
This should satisfy them and give you a chance to review the information later without any pressure.
Inflatable Hot Tubs
Having a portable and inflatable hot bathtub is a luxury as well as the least expensive kind of spa that anyone can have. Although they are considered as portable, they are also shown to be less durable than standard above-ground spas. That is why they shouldn't be one of your long-term investments.
If you are not educated, this impulsive purchase may just end up costing you dearly. Always investigate the products that you are interested in so that you can avoid financial pitfalls.
Get the big picture, here are some considerations that need to be addressed before purchasing an inexpensive inflatable hot tub. For one, you need to think about the duration for which you wish to use your hot tub before you will purchase new one.
Second off, you need to be sure about the type of wear and tear that your hot tub will have to withstand and in this regard you need to factor in concerns such as will children be using your hot tub and whether the tub will be used for entertainment.
Another consideration that needs to be addressed properly before purchasing an inexpensive inflatable hot tub is whether or not you are prepared to accept poor performance and fewer features just so that you are able to save your money.
Also, what is your budget in regard to paying for a hot tub pump and hot tub supplies for your inflatable hot tub? And don't forget to include repairs and maintenance in your budget. With these considerations addressed properly you can then start your search for a great,but still inexpensive,inflatable hot tub.
Portable hot tubs are produced from a variety of material combination's such as nylon, plastic and vinyl. These cheap spas allow you to set it up anywhere as well as packed away when it is not in use. Almost all models use a blower system to allow the circulation of air in the water while few models use traditional jets. They are also easy to put up and have less costly plumbing and wiring.
There are two different designs of hot bathtub which are simple wooden-staved soaking tubs and one piece plastic tubs
Used Hot Tub
Hot tubs are wonderfully relaxing, but they are also expensive. They often run several thousand dollars when they are purchased new. If you want a hot tub but cannot afford the investment for a brand-new model, then you should consider purchasing a used hot tub. You may be able to get a deluxe model at a bargain-basement price if you are willing to shop around and can transport and install the used hot tub on your property.
Now, you're thinking what should I do when purchasing a used hot tub, it's a sticky subject:.
Step 1
Make a list of the most important features that you would like in your hot tub, and list them in order of priority. These might include things like capacity, pulsating and rotating jets, adjustable jets and recliner seat, You will most likely have to make some compromises when you buy a used hot tub because you cannot pick the features. Your list will help you evaluate used tubs to find the best match to your preferences.
Step 2
Some day you will thank me for this, make a note of new hot tub retailers in your area and the brand names they sell and service. Even though you are buying a used hot tub, it may need repairs in the future. If you buy a name brand with a nearby dealer, you will be able to get someone knowledgeable to service it.
Step 3
Make an appointment to view several used hot tubs that sound like they might fit your needs. You can find ads in the newspaper, on Craigslist and just about anywhere else that people advertise used merchandise.
Step 4
Take it to the limit, have the owner of each used hot tub show you how it works. It should be full of water when the owner is showing it. Make sure he turns on all of the jets, lights and other systems so you can see how they function in a full tub. Most hot tubs have multiple motors, so you must be sure they all function. They may also have features such as colored lights or audio systems that should be in good working order.
Step 5
Narrow down your list based on your initial viewings of the used hot tubs, then do a "wet test" on the tubs in which you are most interested. It's impossible to fully evaluate a hot tub without getting into it. You won't know how well you fit into the seats or whether the intensity of the jets is appropriate. If a seller will not allow you to try the hot tub, do not purchase it, because you might discover that it's totally unsuitable when you get it home.
Step 6
Last but not least, negotiate the price of the used hot tub. When you have settled on a used hot tub to purchase, you must arrive at a firm price to seal the deal. Many sellers leave some room to negotiate when they list a price. If there are any minor problems with the tub or signs of wear and tear, you can ask for a discount based on those points. You can also ask for a cheaper price if you are paying for the tub to be moved and installed at your home.
