Spa Buyer Must Ask Questions
Take your time when buying a hot tub. Shop slowly and take along these 9 questions to get you started:
- Do you have a brick & mortar showroom in my local area where I can test soak the models I'm interested in?
- How long have you been in business? How long has the manufacturer been in business?
- Can you provide references and reviews about your hot tubs?
- Do you have energy costs for a 4-6-person hot tub used in our area four-five times a week for 30 minutes at a time (the average use period) that has been certified by an independent testing lab?
- What options do you have for water care that's chlorine and bromine free?
- What about delivery? Is it driveway drop-off or full service to the exact spot where I want it?
- Do you do your own service or is it via a third party? IT TYPICALLY IS A 3rRD PARTY WHICH MEANS THEY MAY NOT BE A CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN OR JUST A RANDOM STRANGER
- Can give a copy of the warranty for this hot tub? *** PLEASE FOLKS GET THIS AS YOU ARE DEALING WITH A PROFESSIONAL SALES MASTER MANIPULATOR**
- What's your cancellation policy? Can I get a refund of my deposit if I change mind? ** THEY ALWAYS HAVE A BIG LONG CONTRACT MAKE SURE AND READ IT**
- Is your delivery crew in house or a subcontracted employee? MAKE THEM SHOW YOU INSURANCE FOLKS THESE ITEMS WEIGH 600lb+ IF SOMEONE GETS HURT THEY WILL COME AFTER YOU. Workmans Comp + General Liability is a MUST!
