You’ve searched the classifieds for a used hot tub and found what looks like a great deal.  Or maybe a friend has offered to let you buy theirs, or maybe you have even been given a used tub as a freebie.  Is it really a good deal?  There is no way to tell for sure until you have it installed and running.

The first and most important thing is to never buy and pay for any used spa or hot tub that you have not seen in operation and tested completely.  Buying a “dry” tub is a disappointment waiting to happen.  You might get lucky and everything will work fine, but you also stand the chance of having a budget-busting disaster on your hands.

You have to also keep in mind that simply moving a tub puts a whole new set of stresses on the plumbing, tub shell, and frame.  An unnoticable crack in the spa sitting at its original location will likely be made worse by loading it on a truck and moving it.  This is especially true if the tub has been repaired sometime in the past.  So just because everything was fine when you checked it out, does not mean it will be exactly the same when you finish your move and installation.

Even with a free hot tub you will likely will have some hidden and possibly unexpected expenses:

* You have to find a way to move it.  Many “portable” hot tubs will not fit in the back of a pickup truck.

* You have to hook up the electrical (and unless you are a licensed electrician this is something that should never be attempted by a homeowner).  This might involve trenching for the electrical line and running a 220 volt drop, in addition to the electrical supplies.

* Once you get it all set up you have to fix anything you broke moving it, and repair damage or defects that were not apparent when you inspected it.

* You will also likely need to buy other supplies (chemicals for the water, a testing kit, a new cartridge filter, and possibly a hot tub cover).

* Check the cartridge filter to make sure it is in place and that the filter itself is not torn or just completely worn out.  

* Does it come with a hot tub cover?  If the cover is cracked, torn, discolored, waterlogged, or a spa cover is not included in the deal, then you might be looking at a significant additional expense.  

When inspecting the hot tub, be sure and check the following:

* Use a thermometer to check the accuracy of the hot tub thermostat.  If it is out of calibration that is not necessarily a problem, but is information you need to know to operate the tub safely.  If it won’t heat the water to normal operating temperature (usually 104 degrees) that is another issue entirely.  There might be a heater problem.

* Open up any of the doors that give you access to the equipment or areas underneath the tub.  Look for any leaks or signs of water.  Check around the pump for any indication that the pump seals are leaking and will need to be replaced.

* Listen to the sound of the pump running.  It should be a low steady hum.  Any other sound should tell you that you might have a pump replacement in your near future.

* Turn on the blower and again, listen to the motor.  It should sound a lot like a vacuum cleaner and if you hear any knocking, pinging, or scraping this is not normal and means you might be whipping out a credit card soon.

Any problems that you discover can be used as points for negotiating a lower purchase price.  If you point out these issues to the seller, you might get a price concession which will make the deal more attractive for you.

With all this said, there are some great values in used hot tubs.  Just do not fail to check things out carefully so you will not regret your decision.  Budget for some unexpected expenses, and cross your fingers.

UV Full Cover for SPA2GO Portable Spa

Hot tub covers are an indispensable accessory to be purchased. Hot tub covers may be simple devices but their importance cannot be overlooked, especially if there are small children and pets where a hot tub is installed.

Hot tub covers keep away the junk, garbage, pollutants in the air and other related things. Apart from these reasons, hot tub covers are also preferred for their ability to maintain the heat in the tub, while not using them and save a lot on heating and hot water bills.

A good quality hot tub cover would have an inner layer of insulation to keep the heat in and keep away the cold. It should also be protected against the heavy blow of storms and winds. Since a hot tub cover keeps the unnecessary things away from the tub like falling tree leaves, dirt, kids toys and many types of bugs- less frequent water cleaning is needed that in turn, saves a lot of time and money.

The cost of the hot tub cover depends upon the material with which it is made, ranging from a plastic slip cover to an insulated cover. But the perimeter of the hot tub has to be measured correctly and an accurate cover has to be purchased to ensure full benefit of using a hot tub cover.

Hot tub covers are generally made with sloped foam so that the rain water will not bog down into the tub and is sealed with a poly ethylene plastic and is often double wrapped. Some types of hot tub covers are made of fiber glass and are suitable in areas where there is a lot of snow fall. A little expensive type is the motorized hot tub covers that are made of PVC and are more durable, strong and insulated.

There are winter hot tub covers also that can be used to cover for the whole of winter and covers the entire unit. Solar hot tub covers utilize the energy of the sun to heat up and maintain the temperature of the water. This type of covers are helpful in saving nearly ten percent of the electricity bill.

A hot tub cover also protects the hot tub from direct exposure to sunlight and safeguards against the harmful effects of the sunlight. The hot tub cover should have an insulating capacity and the more insulation capacity, the better. Warranties are not to be forgotten.

It is essential to maintain the hot tub cover well and it must be cleaned once in a month at least. The cover should be unzipped every two months and the foam must be exposed freely, for at least a day.

Hot tub covers are very essential to gain the maximum benefit of investing in a hot tub and if a person fails to buy a hot tub cover, he or she becomes penny wise and pound foolish.

You may not think of your next spa cover purchase as critical to the environment, but you should.

Think of it this way… Depending on who you get your information from there are around Ten Million households that own spas in the USA. If each of those uses a typical rigid foam spa cover, two inches thick it would equal approximately 10.666 cubic feet of foam per spa cover. We’ll say 10.5 cubic feet per cover. If each cover on every spa becomes saturated within two years and needs to be replaced that would mean that we would be adding 52.5 million cubic feet of waste to our landfills in just spa covers every year. If there are two and a half covers worth of foam to make up one cubic yard that translates to 4 million cubic yards of waste added to our land fills every two years just in spa covers.

Considering there are eleven million cubic yards of stone in the Great Pyramid at Giza, we are putting that much foam in our landfills every six years. There are four and a half million cubic yards of concrete in Hoover Dam. Consider Hoover Dam, seven hundred twenty six feet tall, over twelve hundred feet wide, six hundred sixty thick at the bottom and forty five thick at the top. We could build a two lane highway of discarded foam filled spa covers from Seattle Washington to Miami Florida every two years. If we used four inch thick covers we could make that a four lane Highway. And it would accumulate again every two years. For the sake of demonstration lets use two inches thick. If we ripped the covers in half and laid those pieces end to end we could circle the earth at the equator on used spa covers every two years. Remember we are using two inch foam covers, if you use a four inch foam cover these numbers double. Heck with parking lots, in a few years we could pave the entire planet with foam just from saturated foam spa covers from the USA alone. In the words of Homer Simpson, “Doh!”!” Is there any hope out there?

Well yes there is actually, and you don’t have to quit using your spa to save us. You just need to get an air filled spa cover and tell every other spa owner you know to buy one instead of a rigid foam filled spa cover. The air filled spa cover does a better job than any rigid foam cover and it lasts years longer on average. But at the end of that long and useful life, discarding of an old air filled spa cover is considerably less impact on the environment. A typical air filled spa cover for an eight foot by eight foot spa can be compacted into one cubic foot of space. That’s one tenth the size required for a foam cover. So then if an air filled cover were on every spa in America and it lasted seven years (some out there that are still in use after ten) we would be creating one point four million cubic feet of waste per year. That’s about fifty three thousand cubic yards per year. Still significant but it would take seventy five years to make a pile as big as the Great Pyramid.

This doesn’t address the environmental cost of transportation. If a good size semi truck trailer can haul 2000 cubic feet and you could stuff every nook and cranny with a foam filled spa cover the best you could get would be about 188 covers per semi trailer (Again, these numbers are based on two inch foam. If every spa owner in America is using a tapered cover, or a three or four inch cover these figures could easily double). That means transporting the before mentioned foam filled covers would take around fifty five thousand semi truck trailers. Compare this to a mere five thousand to haul the same amount of inflatable spa covers. Imagine fifty thousand fewer truck trailers on the road. Talk about a savings in transportation cost. You should double that number of truck trailers because they would also be hauling more covers to dealers so you could replace your old one. That would be about one hundred ten thousand semi trailers on the road verses ten thousand total to haul the inflatable spa cover to market and land fill. Of course if the air cover lasts longer that would mean about 714 semi truck trailers per year compared to 55,000 loaded trailers per year of foam covers to cover the same number of spas. Imagine the savings in fuel for those trucks.

So a stack of wasted foam covers as large as the Great Pyramid every two years or a pile of inflatable spa covers the same size in seventy five years. 54,286 fewer semi truck trailers on the road per year. Using a spa cover that requires one tenth the energy to keep the spa water warm… Personally I would prefer air cover pile that big. I’d have my picture taken in front of it. I’ll only be in my mid one hundred twenties in seventy five years so I may require a few replacement parts myself by then. Ten Million spas and hot tubs using ninety percent less energy to maintain the water temperature. If it cost $50 per year (I wish) to heat those 10,000,000 spas and the air filled cover saved 90 percent of that by being ten times better than a foam filled cover that would be an energy savings of 450,000,000 dollars per year. Your actual saving may vary.

To relax and massage your body with plenty of jets and also one of the mode of hydro therapy, hot tubs are one of the popular small pools at home as well with heated water. For those lacking space in you home and living in cod regions, portable hot tubs are good options. There are several types of heating system for hot tubs, such as electric, natural gas as well as solar energies. You can find flexibility of choice with varieties of hot tubs available in the market, depending upon your place and also your budget.

If you’re looking for user-friendly hot tubs spa, portable hot tub is the answer. Because of its flexibility of relocation, portable hot tubs can be moved around in your home according to your comfort and are best suited for a rented house. For spa owners a huge range of accessories among which hot tub covers have proven to be great investment. So, it is important thing to understanding your needs since manufacturers are producing hot tubs in a variety of sizes.

There are four major purposes if you asking for hot tub spa cover serves. First, they keep your hot tub out of impurities such as twigs, leaves, bugs, and other countless unwanted things. It is also keep your hot tub clean. Second, by covering spa so save small kids or pets from falling into it, hot tub cover work as a safety measure. Third, spa cover can keeping your heating bills low since it’s reduces most if not all of the evaporative losses from the pool and retain heat. Fourth, they protect hot tub shells from direct rays of sun as they can damage hot tubs.

Waterlogged as well as moldy over the time, so your hot tub covers call for replacement as they become heavy. Hot tub covers are made from material’s that able to resist the flow of heat. Now you can detect the quality of a hot tub from its R-value. Run around R-value 12-15 is standard for hot tub covers. Because of its exposure to atmospheric elements, an outdoor hot tub is more prone to damages than indoor one.

There is a wide range of hot tub models for you to choose from, such as the portable hot tub or home spa, You will be faced with a diverse array of hot tub features, designs, specifications and accessories so it is a good idea to arm yourself with some basic knowledge on hot tubs before you decide on your model preference. The internet is a great place to search for useful information on hot tubs and the different hot tub models available on the market. Cost is an important consideration too when you decide to buy a hot tub, which depends on the construction, size and features of the spa you select. You should also find out the operating cost of the hot tub.

Once you have installed your hot tub at home, make sure to maintain it in good working condition as it is not a cheap investment. Most hot tubs should come with a hot tub cover as this is an essential and useful hot tub accessory to have. Hot tub covers help to keep litter and impurities out of the water. A hot tub without a cover may also be hazardous as younger children or pets may accidentally fall into the hot water. Hot tub covers also help retain heat in the hot tub, thereby lowering your heating bills.

It is important that you purchase a good quality hot tub cover. Make sure that your hot tub cover is sturdy and durable so that it can be used for many years to come. Also check that your hot tub cover is the right size and fits securely over your hot tub. Having a hot tub cover that fixes securely also helps in keeping impurities and litter out of the hot tub, and also traps the heat helping keep the water nice and hot.

After prolonged use, your hot tub cover may become waterlogged and ineffective. When this happens, the cover cannot insulate the heat very well. In that situation, it may be time to get a new cover. Understand that a hot tub cover can also become worn and wrinkled where it has been folded and unfolded once too many times. A wrinkle in your hot tub cover may also allow more heat to escape, so that it is no longer effective as insulation.

UV Full Cover for Spa-N-A-Box Portable Spa – A19537

There are many different kinds of covers for your hot tub. The kind of material that they are made of is going to affect the cost of the cover. These cover range from just a plastic slip cover to an insulated cover. When purchasing a new cover you will want to measure the tub perimeter correctly to ensure to order the proper size.

Some of the cheapest covers available are going to be the thermal blankets. These covers are designed to simply float on top of the water, so some do not consider them as covers at all. These covers do not help a lot with keeping dirt and debris out of the spa but they do help with the evaporation of the water. Depending on the size of the hot tub a blanket cover will cost approximately around $25 dollars. There are two different common kinds of these types of blankets. The first one resembles the bubble wrap or the material used for shipping fragile items. This one is not very effective because it is cut to fit the spa and the bubbles on the end are left open decreasing it abilities in insulting the water. The second is made of smooth closed cell foam. This one is better at insulating and keeping bacteria out of the water.

Standard hot tub covers are made with a sloped foam so that the rain will run of the top and not bogging it down into the tub. Normal measurements of a cover are around four inches thick in the middle sloping to around two or three inches thick on the sides or edges. This foam is typically sealed with a polyethylene plastic, and is often heat sealed or double wrapped to keep the water from soaking into the foam. Water soaking into the foam would cause it to become water logged and possibly causing it to be replaced over time. Once the plastic is in place a vinyl cover is then added to protect against UV damaged. The thread used for sewing the cover is usually UV protected as well. If you have young children finding a cover with tie downs is recommended though this might take more time to remove it will be worth the extra safety features. This will also help keep the cover in place during high winds.

Walk on hot tub covers are also available. These covers use sheets of fiberglass under the foam. These are great if the hot tub is outside and is in an area that snow a lot. The weight of the snow could cause some covers to fall into the hot tub. These are also great for those who have small children that might get the idea to walk across the top. This would protect them from falling in and potentially drowning.

Motorized hot tub covers are some of the most expensive covers available. The cover is made of PVC slats that are strong, durable, and insulated with 2.5 lbs of foam cell fibers. The cover takes about 10 seconds to retract and about the same to recover the spa. Some models have a touch pad with pass code entry so that there is no unauthorized use. Once is the cover is retracted it is then stored away until later.

Winter hot tub covers a great for those who do not want to use the spa all year round. A winter cover is used for the entire unit. This will go over your regular cover and down the sides all the way to the ground. An air pillow should be placed underneath so that water will drain off the top. This will keep any water from accumulating in unwanted areas.
