Many people interested in buying a hot tub or spa spend hours researching the perfect one. If you are considering making a purchase, it is important to know how many years your hot tub or spa will last for. There are a few factors that will determine your spa’s life span.
Purchasing a high-quality hot tub, conducting the proper maintenance, and making repairs are elements to consider to ensure the lifetime of your spa or hot tub.
Quality
Like most installations, the quality of a hot tub plays a large role in its available lifetime. Beware of spas made of low-quality materials. “Cheap” spas sometimes won’t offer the assurance of replacement parts and service. If they aren’t protected by a solid warranty, hot tubs can become expensive.
However, hot tubs and spas made by a reputable manufacturer such as Jacuzzi, Dimension One and Clearwater Spas are more reliable in their quality. Getting a good quality hot tub or spa cover made of Marine-grade vinyl will last about five years and will help increase your spa’s life span.
It will also protect your investment against weathering by the sun or rain.
