Select carefully before buying a Jacuzzi Hot Tub
If you want the cheapest in just terms of minimum cash out flow at the time of purchase and have NO concerns what so ever for running costs, maintenance costs or indeed the useful life of a product then buy the cheapest import that you can find. That will probably mean that you have been fooled to sacrifice quality and good engineering for a cheap rate product.
BUT just remember that you will need to book the skip that will be needed when you scrap it. I know of one cheap spa that worked for a day or so and has not worked for months thereafter. Makes you think a bit does it not. After all a cheap spa is still a major purchase. Even more so if you have to buy another one.
That ever so well known phrase springs to mind “buying cheap usually means buying twice”.
Well what is actually wrong with a cheap import – loads of things but here are a few to get you thinking:-
The Base or lack of one!
Has it got a base – that is a solid floor to keep the damp from seeping in let alone all the horrible beasties such as termites that you can get and even worse the kind that eat through wiring harnesses and electric cables. I had an actual Hot Tub owner call me and ask for a quote to rejoin some 60/70 cables of a wiring harness from a cheaply made import.
The Shell
Now there is the shell to consider and is that made of proper branded acrylic such as Lucite or Aristech both leading American brands. It is not good enough if they just say “American Acrylic” that’s like saying its Indian Tea when you mean its Earl Grey or Ceylon. If they can not or will not provide the brand name I doubt very much that it is in fact American Acrylic. What they really mean is that it is based on or a copy of American Acrylic. One should always try the lipstick test and see how easy it is to wipe lipstick off the shell. With the brands that I refer to it wipes straight off if it does not then its not branded acrylic.
How strong is the shell and is it properly moulded and finished. Look for stretch marks on the inner curves of the Shell and if they appear again it is a thinner and cheaper grade material. We have seen many spas from the east where the inside of the shell feels damp as if it is still curing or drying out many months after production.
How is the shell supported? A proper made spa will have a layer of ABS plastic applied to the Acrylic shell to provide inherent support. It will not then need a steel frame those that do are not properly made or designed in the first place.
Electronic Controls
Electronics - what controls does it have – does it have Balboa or Gecko both leading brands or does it have Wing Wong Woo controls. If so they are very hard to get spares and the like for. I accept that some components used in Balboa or Gecko control packs are made in the east but the point is that these two companies then assemble the complete product under proper quality control standards. Also I have personal experience of raising queries’ with these companies and they answer emails in a matter of minutes and their knowledge of their products (as you would expect) is second to none.
Conclusion
I suppose that at the end of the day one pays ones money and takes one choice.
As a Hot Tub dealer I want the very best product for the money so as to provide clients with outstandingly good value products. Equally and in many ways much more important to me is that I do not want warranty claims or complaints from clients about their spas. So in my view it is just as much in my interest as it is in the consumers that they buy properly made, designed and engineered products.
So the main point of all this is simply that those manufacturers who provide real and meaningful guarantees ensure that their production and quality control is such that in the MAIN they do not get warranty claims. That’s the real issue if you buy a properly made spa that will cost more money than a cheaper import you will not need to make a claim under the warranty. You should have the use of a good quality Spa for very many years more so if you just carry out some simple and regular maintenance.

The Manufacturers (Dodo Press) $18.77 Maria Edgeworth (17671849) was an AngloIrish novelist. She was born at Black Bourton, Oxfordshire, the second child of Richard Lovell Edgeworth, a wellknown author and inventor. On her fathers second marriage in 1773, she went with him to Ireland, where she eventually was to settle on his estate, Edgeworthstown, in County Longford. She acted as manager of her fathers estate, later drawing on this experience for her novels about the Irish. Marias first published work was Letters for Literary Ladies in 1795, followed in 1796 by her first childrens book, The Parents Assistant; or, Stories for Children, and in 1800 by her first novel Castle Rackrent. Mr. Edgeworth encouraged his daughters career, and has been criticized for his insistence on approving and editing her work. After her fathers death in 1817 she edited his memoirs, and extended them with her biographical comments. She was an active writer to the last, and worked strenuously for the relief of the faminestricken Irish peasants during the Irish Potato Famine (18451849).
