Exploring a Used Hot Tub or Spa

If you've been thinking about buying a new sauna or hot tub but you don't have enough cash for this investment, a refurbished unit may be perfect for your needs. Previously owned hot tubs can be just as solid as their new counterparts, and if you shop wisely and inspect used units carefully, you'll pay less for this investment. As you're planning this investment, take the time to go over some of the key points that every homeowner should consider when buying a refurbished sauna.

Review the market in your community to find out how much dealers and private sellers are asking for new or used hot tubs. Whether you're looking for an acrylic tub, a rustic redwood model or an indoor sauna, you should know the market value of the product you're buying. Go through the classified section of your newspaper to find out how much private parties in your town are asking for previously owned hot tubs.

Figure out the hidden costs of buying a used hot tub to determine how much you'll really pay. Buying a previously owned sauna may lower the cost, but you'll probably end up paying for delivery and installation, not to mention any components that are missing. Never try to install or repair a used hot tub without the help of an electrical contractor.

Take the time to have a professional look over a used tub, both while it's dry and while it's in operation. Even if you've fallen in love with a sauna or spa, and the unit looks impeccable, there may be hidden flaws, cracks or mechanical problems that you can't identify. Any unpleasant smells, visible breaks in the acrylic or blistered surfaces are signs that the tub may have been out of operation for a long time.

Decontaminate a previously owned hot tub before you and your family jump in. Although an acrylic shell may look and smell perfectly clean, mold and mildew can lurk in unseen cracks, crevices and pipes of a hot tub. For a safe, healthy spa experience, make sure that your sauna is absolutely clean before you indulge.
