There’s so much that we depend on just to get through the course of a day. We rely on our cars or public transit systems to take us where we need to go, and we count on our kitchen, laundry, fitness, and other appliances to make our lives easier, keep us healthy, and entertain us. We also depend on home systems, such as heaters and air conditioners for comfort. Our reliance on these things means that we don’t spend time worrying about them each day. In other words, our lifestyles greatly depend on investing in items that are reliable. So, when it comes to making a large investment like a new or used hot tub, reliability is not something to be ignored—or to be taken for granted.
What Makes a Hot Tub Reliable?
A high-quality, well-maintained hot tub will last for a decade or more. But to find the most reliable, you’ll need to focus on design, materials, and the warranty and service plans offered by spa retailers.
Durable Hot Tub Designs
Hot tubs are high-functioning systems that take years to engineer. A combination of precision engineering, excellence in design, and a deep knowledge of manufacturing goes into each spa. The best quality hot tubs include efficient pumps that are carefully designed and selected for each model, jets that are designed and placed for comfort and enjoyment, and delicately wired electrical systems. Trusted manufacturers fashion water care systems and filters for efficiency and longevity. Companies that manufacture durable hot tubs put thought not only into the mechanical systems, but also into the performance and styling details of every model.
Quality Hot Tub Materials
Quality materials are the cornerstone of spa reliability. Hot tubs are built to function for extended periods of time and withstand all weather conditions.
Durable spas feature reinforced, acrylic interior shells and exterior cabinetry made of weather-resistant materials. Top-of-the-line spas, such as those from Caldera®, include FiberCor® insulation, which has four times the density of the urethane foam used in most other hot tubs. It fills all the gaps in spa compartments for better insulating efficiency.
The only way to ensure a hot tub can stand up to inescapable wear and tear is to engineer it with durability in mind.
Consistent Service Plans and Local Dealer Support
Like any sophisticated mechanical device, a hot tub requires regular maintenance, including water treatment and cleaning, and, from time to time, a higher level of service or repair. Reputable dealers cover all spa components with a manufacturer’s warranty and typically offer service plans to ensure that your spa will always perform properly.
Issues that can arise over a lifetime of use include scratches on the spa shell or exterior cabinet, and pump or electrical problems. It’s often not difficult to troubleshoot issues and make your own repairs, but the easiest way to deal with problems is to allow your dealer to handle fixes. The best dealers are experts, who have the technical knowledge and training to resolve any issue that may arise. Many dealers are also able to routinely perform inspections and preventative maintenance on your home spa. Having access to this kind of support and customer care from a local dealer is important in providing you with the best ongoing experience. That’s why we recommend that you buy from a hot tub dealer with a local store in your market.
