Has LED WATERFALL, cup holders, came with 2.0 horsepower motor with ionizer. I am very happy. I also have had 2 inflatable tubs I loved. Both $500. Very reliable.

Annnnnd, it's gone. It's all gone.

I've been a hot tub service tech for 13 years and my advice is don't buy a tub from a place with the name of the tub in the name of the store i.e. Arctic Spas, Jacuzzi hot tubs, Sundance spa's etc... What you'll end up with is a tub that's proprietary, meaning you can only get parts from them. So something that should cost $200 will probably cost $700 because you don't have a choice. You're welcome!

@@firerock6026 lol ok bud. Because everyone wants to pay 700 bucks for a keypad that should be 300. Or a pump that should be 350 and they sell for 800. Please enlighten me as to how I'm wrong.

One thing you could cover is make sure the hot tub is able to be repaired. Some hot tubs are closed systems and are not repairable. Learned that the hard way.

I bought a 5x5 plug & play Life Smart Hot Tub on sale at HD for $2.5K with lights and waterfall feature (reg. price $4.5K), free shipping. I just set to lowest temp after I use it and increase it up one day before I use it, which is about 4 days interval. Winterize it if I don't intend to use it on winter.

This was a fantastic tutorial for me as I embark on buying my first hot tub. The only thing I would have liked to see was a section on delivery and installation. Do you have a separate video on that process and things to ask for or avoid?

I would call it "chicken wire" wooden fence? Btw, great job on your review. Very thurough. You covered a lot of questions I and many others looking for a hot tub have asked ourselves.

When you mentioned brands of hot tubs, I posted on a local area group on Facebook and told them I was looking and asked who they recommended. I made a tic mark for every brand mentioned and checked out the ones with the most marks. In my area it was Aspen Spas by a landslide. Glad I went there. Their top of the line tub was less expensive than the others' lower end tubs. With the pandemic it took 7 months to get it, which they told me so I wasn't upset. It came in June though so didn't get too much of a chance to check it out because we quickly went into 90 degree days. Looking forward to cooler temps so I can hopefully enjoy it more.

We just stayed in a rental house at the beach and the house had a Costco purchased hot tub that was 110v. The owner of the rental house told me it can’t heat and run the pumps at the same time and it would struggle to keep the water warm enough to use in the winter here in New Jersey. My Wife and I are planning on buying a hot tub in the very near future. We are pretty much set on getting the Master Spas TS 8.2. We saw it at a local spa expo and we liked it a lot. We weren’t comfortable buying from the expo but that’s the one we will probably buy. Thanks for all the helpful videos.

Thanks! That is generally true of any 110v hot tub (portable or inflatable). In warmer climates like where I live (Texas) it's not a big deal, but could be somewhere that gets really cold in winter. Master Spas is what mine is and I love it! It was here when we bought the house, but I bet it's 10 years old. I've done a few things to it, but it's still in very good shape.

Great video. I am getting a Costco one in a couple of weeks, so I am very excited about. It is a plug and play that can be converted to 220-240 volts. I am planning to make a couple of videos since they are not very common in KZread. Fingers crossed.

Hi Justin. I hadn't heard of them before. Looking into them just now they are the same company as Jacuzzi & Sundance (which are the same company). Most likely they were a small company that got bought by Rexnord-Zurn Holdings, Inc. who own Jacuzzi/Sundance. Looks like they have a B- grade with the Better Business Bureau, but no reviews there. There have been 2 complaints, both from 2018, both of which are a little scary in terms of the company's ability to stand behind their products (www.bbb.org/us/ca/carlsbad/profile/hot-tub-dealers/new-dimension-one-spas-inc-1126-8000174/complaints). They got bought by the Jacuzzi company in 2013, so these issues happened well after that, and both complaints remain unanswered by the company 2 years later (which is not a good sign). I do feel like Jacuzzi/Sundance overall make good products, so I feel good about them from that standpoint. Assuming you have a local dealer in your area that you can walk into and talk to a person if you have an issue, I wouldn't be too hesitant to buy one if you can get a good price. Given those 2 complaints though, I would not buy one if I didn't have a trusted dealer in my city. Hope that helps! Thanks Jeff

Hi D Sorry for my delay as you've probably already dealt with it. I would fill it up, and then do a biofilm clean out since we have no idea how well the previous owners maintained it. But if you didn't do that, don't sweat it. But I would do that when you change the water the next time (I do mine every time I change my water, which is about every 3 months). If you haven't seen my video on biofilm cleanouts, here's the link - kzread.info/dash/bejne/aoqsxdSdeavagdI.html

In my opinion, if you are buying a used hot tub, one that needs to be moved, get a hot spring. I have worked in the pool and spa Industry my whole life. I deliver and remove hot tubs all the time. And I have never removed an old tub that still worked. From 6-20 years old. There was always issues or always falling apart. But hot spring makes a great product. Every hot spring that I have removed. Still worked, and wasn't falling apart. This summer a customer purchased a new hot spring spa. There's was 25+ years old. It still worked! Didn't fall apart when we moved it. Incredible. Never have I seen this in another brand.

Thanks for the helpful video. You mention not turning down the temp to save money. Is that still the case if you have peak rates? Here in CA the peak time is 4pm-9pm and the electric rates are pretty outrageous, maybe 3X of off-peak. Would you still say don't turn it off during this time?

I am constantly seeing people giving tubs away for free or very little. Most circumstances are they moved into the house, it was there when they got their, they don't want it. Can you make a video like "things to know/inspect when considering a used hot tub"? I mean aside from the obvious like cracks or wire torn up.

Good video many great tips. The electrical side of a tub is not overly complicated but can get pricey for the materials alone. I spent about 6 to 700 doing all the 220 electrical all on my own. A local electrician would have been about triple that. Another thing if your buying a used tub, biggest tip is make sure you see it running and test it before you buy it. I wouldn't recommend buying anything that you couldn't see in action. Most are absolute basketcases and unless you have a good knowledge of repair they are just not worth it

That gives me pause in recommending them, but I do see a lot of the complaints are people who ordered new hot tubs in 2020 and the C19 delays most manufacturer's experienced have delayed delivery. So if your dealer has one on hand, that wouldn't be a concern. If they have to order it, I wouldn't expect delivery until well into 2021, and most of the complaints were about being given wrong delivery info and significant delays beyond that they were told.

If you didn't fill it up with water yet, you probably don't need to do anything other than just keep the power off and the lid on. But if you wanted to be extra safe, you could fill it up and power it on. But that would involve treating the water. You could also add antifreeze to the water, but you'll want to drain it and flush it before filling back up to use later.

Well for basically a 1-year old hot tub, it sounds great to pay $4000 for what she paid $11,000 for. I wonder why she's selling it so quickly? Is the warranty transferable? Lastly, I would take a look at your breaker panel outside nearest the hot tub (assuming you have more than 1) and make sure you have an available slot. If you don't, the electrician's bill could easily go over $1,000 to hook it up, on top of the delivery fee (which should be somewhere between $300-500)

After a recent conversation about that with Master Spas, I would encourage you to look at them if you haven't already. That's also the brand of my hot tub (which came with the house when I bought it) and for a 10-year-old hot tub, it's held up really well. Well water will likely be very high in calcium, and other minerals. That can lead to scale buildup on the shell, but also in the equipment and pipes and can increase your maintenance costs.

Paid $6,500 for it as I was considering becoming a Jacuzzi dealer so I was able to pick one up for essentially wholesale price + $800. It's worked VERY well for 20 years now but we are selling our home and will be buying another within the next month or 2 once we are in our new home as we are leaving this one behind for this homes next residents. The same tub today retails for about $17K but they can be bought for around $13,500. Most others of lower quality are between $7K and $11K so unless your are buying a used one, not going to be in this price range listed in the notes above.

To actually turn the heat off, you'd need to disconnect your heater which I probably wouldn't do unless you're an electrician. I do have a video that goes into greater detail on the sleep/economy modes - kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5dnpNN9p6jfZKQ.html

Do you know anything about Bueno Spas?

What's the best type of insulation? Icynene? Polyurethane? Also what's the best type of pump I read 56 frame motors run cooler for the Jets than 40 frame motors which run hot and inefficient? I also found that steel frames are better than wood in case it floods. And for filtration the more gallons per minute equals cleaner water? Thanks from Canada! It does get minus 50 c where I live the master spa I'm looking at claims to be the most efficient. thanks for the video I'm going to be asking the dealer lots of questions!

Hi Ryan I left this on your other comment too, but in case you see this one first, here it is again - The best kind of insulation is called multi-density foam and the worst kind is called partial foam insulation. Chances are Master Spas is going to be somewhere in the middle of those 2, probably Full foam insulation. I do have an article on my website that gives you more detail on insulation if it's helpful - hottubownerhq.com/can-you-add-insulation-to-a-hot-tub/ I don't claim to be an expert on frames or filtration, but I do think that generally all of you assumptions are correct. I'm not sure at all though on pumps and efficiency.

@@HotTubOwnerHQ I really appreciate your help because of your videos I was able to make an informative decision on which company what to look for . I was asking questions that most dealers didn't know. I decided to go with the company called Arctic spa Their sheets of acrylic weigh 400 lb They're meeting my country Their motors are high frame high efficiency The insulation is perimeter Extremely well made Thank you so much for your help!
