Like automobiles, spas and hot tubs are sold to appeal to a wide demographic. There is everything from standard base models up to luxury custom units. Inflatable hot tubs and basic acrylic or rotomolded spas fall on the less costly end of the scale. On the other hand, recognized brand names like Jacuzzi, Hot Springs, Baja and others often fetch a much higher price tag.
When buying a used spa from an unknown seller, viewing the tub before purchase is vital. Be sure that the spa is on and full of water for at least 24 hours before you arrive. Ask to see the owner's manual, repair and maintenance record. Act as if you were purchasing a used car or second-hand RV. Keep a lookout for possible issues.
If you have decided to go ahead and purchase a second-hand hot tub, you will want to give it a good clean before use. Do you research and make sure you purchase the right selection of hot tub cleaning products and follow our steps below.
Selling sites are a different game entirely and it is not uncommon for people to sell their second hand hot tubs for as much as they purchased them for. This is not to say you cannot purchase some quality second hand hot tubs from the likes of eBay and Gumtree, it will just pay to do your research before parting with your cash.

Second-hand hot tubs are a cost-effective option for anyone looking to buy a hot tub or move from hot tub hire to ownership. Buying a new hot tub can be a huge expense, while second-hand hot tubs tend to be a cheaper alternative. Reputable dealers will thoroughly inspect each second-hand hot tub to ensure it meets their highest standards, which is what we do at Aqua Spa and Leisure. Each hot tub is cleaned and fitted with new filters to keep them in excellent condition, so you can start using your second-hand hot tub immediately. We offer a comprehensive 6-month warranty on all used hot tubs, which covers all major components and parts.
Hot tubs were incredibly popular during the pandemic, with the vast majority (80 per cent) of households with one having purchased it since 2020. With people spending 2,200 on average per hot tub, huge sums have been invested in home leisure equipment that is now sitting empty. Hot tubs are technically exempt from the hose pipe bans in place in some parts of the UK2. However, water companies have asked owners if they can wait until cooler weather and demand for to water reduce before using them.
Over a fifth of owners who do not use their hot tubs (22 per cent) are planning on selling them at present. One in six (16 per cent) are hoping to give it to someone else and one in eight (12 per cent) are keeping it purely because they do not know what else to do with it. Those who wish to sell their hot tub should not expect to make their money back. Second-hand hot tubs are selling for an average of 1,1644, over half (53 per cent) the price they were purchased for, and soft hot tubs sell for considerably less (234) than solid ones (2,245).
Hot tubs tend to be expensive purchases. And like any expensive purchase, most people are looking for ways to reduce the costs. For things like vehicles and homes, we frequently buy them second-hand to make them less expensive, and sometimes we try to extend that methodology to other areas. When it comes to buying a used hot tub, though, the question is: should you
\\n From the coupon boom during the Great Depression to the modern Groupon era, we\\u2019ve\\n learned that deals are everywhere and should be sought. But what constitutes a good deal In some cases, buying a\\n used item at a discount will provide most of the benefits of a higher-cost new item\\u2014but not always.\\n\\n\\n Only very smart shoppers understand how to save money and still enjoy the rewards of new\\n products, especially when it comes to big-ticket items, such as spas. Hot tubs come in all styles\\n and sizes, and can be as different from each other as a Honda is from\\n a Ferrari. However, while there is a wide range of hot tub manufacturers, collections, and models, there are only a\\n couple of ways to buy a spa: used (from an individual, and online source, or from a dealer) or new (luxury, premium,\\n value-priced, or even entry-level models from a trusted dealership). Regardless of whether you choose to buy a used\\n spa from an individual or an online source, or turn to a reputable dealer for either a new or used hot tub, there\\n are specific considerations to take into account. Here, we put them in perspective. We\\u2019ve also included a handy\\n chart at the end to help with your decision-making process.\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n What to Know When Buying a Used Hot Tub Online or from an Individual\\n\\n\\n Owning a hot tub can bring peace and joy to\\n your life every day, but only careful shopping will ensure you bring home the spa of your dreams and not a headache.\\n Hot tubs from private sellers are typically sold \\u201cas-is,\\u201d meaning that the seller is not responsible for any issues\\n that may arise after the sale. Used spas sold online are also sold \\u201cas-is\\u201d and, further, deny the buyer the\\n opportunity for inspection. In either case, while you might spend less, the lower price comes with a few clear\\n sacrifices, including:\\n\\n\\n Warranty. Hot tubs sold by private sellers in-person or online are unlikely to be\\ncovered by warranty. Even if the hot tub\\n works when you inspect it, you could be forced to replace damaged or worn parts or hire a service technician shortly\\n after purchasing because the seller had not kept up with maintenance. Repair bills could amount to more than what\\n you paid for the spa. \\n\\n\\n Payment. Typically, when you buy a spa from a private seller, payment is made in\\n cash. In rare instances, the seller will accept a check or even be able to process a credit or debit card\\n transaction on a smartphone or tablet. Online payments will require a credit or debit card. Regardless of how you\\n pay, you\\u2019ll hand over a lump sum that could put a large dent in your wallet. \\n\\n\\n Delivery and Installation. It\\u2019s no secret that hot tubs are big, heavy, and\\n impossible for one person to lift. To transport your spa home, you\\u2019ll need to hire a spa moving company. At this\\n point, it\\u2019s important to remember that if the hot tub you\\u2019re considering is under warranty, moving it from its\\n original location may void some or all of the manufacturer\\u2019s warranty. In other words, if something should happen to\\n it during de-installation and transport, you\\u2019ll be responsible for any resulting costs. \\n\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n Quality Inspection. Before paying, perform a very close inspection of the hot tub to\\n identify any obvious and potential problem areas; you probably won\\u2019t get your money back once it has changed\\n hands. If ordering online and inspection is impossible, request current pictures and be sure to vet the\\n reputability of the seller. When inspecting a hot tub, focus on the following areas:\\n\\n\\n \\n Shell. Look for scratches, cracks, leaks, and warping in the shell. Small imperfections can worsen over\\n time. Issues that may be easily fixed today can become serious, expensive problems after just months of usage.\\n \\n\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n Cabinet. The cabinet protects the spa\\u2019s sensitive interior components from the elements. So, look for cracks, leaks, and discoloration, which can be a sign of water damage even if no water is visible. If the cabinet is wooden, look for warped or broken slats. As with the shell, scratches and cracks can worsen over time.\\n Control Panel. Be sure that the thermostat, lights, jets, and entertainment features respond correctly through the control panel. Fast-paced clicking or chattering sounds that occur can indicate damaged relays, which can be expensive to repair.\\n Access Panel. Look for evidence of leaks in the interior of the access panel, including dampness or standing water. If you find evidence of a leak, but cannot identify the source, it could suggest an expensive repair. Inspect the wiring for corrosion and obvious damage to connections and wire insulation. Check for evidence of pests or vermin, such as beehives, rat nests, and snakeskin. If you live in an area with dangerous insects, such as black widow spiders, perform this inspection cautiously, and don\\u2019t put your hands in areas that aren\\u2019t completely visible.\\n\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n Framework. The interior framework of the spa should be regular and even,\\n without dents, cracks, folds, or any other deformation, and free from corrosion.\\n Pumps. Hot tubs usually have separate\\n pumps for jet pressure and for circulation. With the spa filled, turn it on to see if the circulation pump\\n forces water movement. Turn the jets on to make sure their pumps are delivering adequate pressure. When\\n working properly, jet pumps should produce a steady, low-pitched hum. Stuttering, chattering, grinding,\\n belching, or any other unexpected sound indicates an issue, which may be expensive to repair. \\n\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n If during your inspection you identify what seem to be major problems, walk away and consider the advantages of purchasing from a local dealer.\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n Dealer Advantages: New vs. Used Hot Tub\\n\\n\\n Quality. Whether purchasing a new or used hot tub from a dealer, one thing you\\n can be sure of is the quality. A new hot tub will function perfectly and look gorgeous; a used hot will have been\\n refurbished to like-new quality. Refurbishment involves a deep cleaning of the hot tub, as well as cosmetic and\\n functional repairs when needed. Any outstanding issues will be noted by the dealer and communicated. In addition,\\n purchasing from a dealer allows you to select from a variety of models to get the specific features you want, such\\n as an entertainment system.\\n\\n\\n Warranty. All new and most used hot tubs sold by a dealer are covered by a\\n manufacturer\\u2019s or dealer\\u2019s warranty. The warranties for new hot tubs are more comprehensive and provide coverage for\\n a longer period of time. While limited warranties are available for certain used hot tubs, the specific terms may\\n vary from spa to spa and dealer to dealer. Before purchasing a used hot tub from a dealer, take a minute to review\\n the warranty to learn what is and isn\\u2019t covered. \\n\\n\\u00a0\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n Service and Maintenance Plans. When you purchase a new hot tub from a dealer,\\n you\\u2019ll be offered service plan options of\\n varying levels. Even if you don\\u2019t opt for a service plan, you can still ask your dealer for service help, but you\\u2019ll\\n have to pay for parts and labor. Plan options offer provisions for water purification, regular cleaning, and the\\n replacement or repair of any parts that wear out over time. Some dealers offer service plans for the used hot tubs\\n they sell, too. \\n\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\t\\n\\t\\t\\t\\n Financing. It\\u2019s certainly possible to buy a new or used hot tub from a dealer with a single cash payment. However, financing is also often an option. In fact, some dealers periodically offer zero-interest financing deals. While not every dealer offers financing on all hot tub models (used models may be exempt), opting for it can significantly increase your buying power, putting a new hot tub within your reach through low monthly payments.\\n\\n\\n For example, financing might allow you to purchase a new entry-level hot tub, which often costs the same as a used hot tub, for around $100-200 per month.* Entry-level spas are typically smaller and not as feature-heavy as luxury models, but still durable and beautiful. In addition, some dealers allow shoppers who purchase an entry-level hot tub, such as a rotationally-molded model from Fantasy Spas or Freeflow Spas, to trade-up to a premium or luxury model after six\\nmonths or so. \\n\\n\\n Delivery and Installation. Often, the cost of delivery and installation is included in the price quoted by the dealer for new and used hot tubs. That cost can also sometimes be included in the financing agreement, helping to avoid any outlay of cash up front. You\\u2019ll be provided with delivery and installation instructions that explain how to prepare the area on which you\\u2019ll place your spa. For example, your new spa must be placed on a strong, level surface. If you intend to put your hot tub on a deck, be certain that the deck is rated to hold the spa\\u2019s weight. Consult a professional to determine your deck\\u2019s load limit. These instructions should not be glossed over, as an improperly located hot tub can cause damage to the spa and\\/or serious human injury.\\n\\n\\n \\n *Actual monthly financing payment will vary based on the total financing amount and the length of the repayment period. For example, a $5,000 spa financed for 40 months during a zero-interest promotion will cost $125 per month.\\n \\n\\n\\n New vs. Used Hot Tub Pros and Cons Chart \\n\\n\\n All of the factors that go into choosing where to purchase a new or used spa can be a bit overwhelming.
