Chris and Bill from Hot Tub University talk about the dangers facing buyers in the hot tub market in the current market. Find out what's happening so you can avoid being burned!
if you think of getting one forget all the research and learing , hire me to buy you a tub through my private buyers service, it always saves you more than the cost of the service and will ensure you avoid the pitfalls like crappy build, usless options and price gouging...
We recently purchased a LSX 900 Legend Series Tub from Master Spas and the framing looks to be untreated lumber? I was under the impression this was to be treated lumber for this line of hot tubs. Maybe I’m missing something however thanks for your time!
We are looking at a plug and play at wayfair or Costco for under 3k. Is that a waste of money. The one we like is made AquaRest Jacuzzi 5-Person Hot Tub. Are aquarest any good
SHOP AROUND!!!! My local dealer wants $9,995 for a South Seas 748L, a dealer the next state over has the same tub available for $7,200 + $300 shipping. A CalSpa dealer told me that prices are going up 30% on the next truckload (could be BS).
100% correct except the 30% is bullshit its likely more like a $5-10% factory increase :-) Honestly forget shopping around Get my private buyers service, I buy thousands of tubs for clients every year we shop your local market and get you better pricing, better dealers, better brands, and help you avoid overspending on uselss upgrades and options.... in over 98% of deales we save a client more than the scost of the service right off the purchase price :-) www.hottubuniversity.com/assistance
Finally got my Jacuzzi J445 Due in July, arrived last week, “Take it or leave it or lose your slot, “no discounts and frowned at for asking for a trade in price. Anyway its here and its great.I did read your reviews and you had an influence on my decision, so keep up the good work.
Chris I've got a question that maybe never gets asked. If I lose power at home will a portable generator run a hot tub just to keep the water moving and not run the heater? Is that an option? If not how would I keep the water from freezing?
I always have a small heater in my hot tub down under the skirt by the pumps in safe location with power on and the cord hanging out of the skirt, if I have a long power outage and run my jenny and plug it in, it will keep you out of trouble
Jacuzzi and Master spas are my top ones, then there are a few like Sundance, Coast, Artesian, that are close seconds then brands like Bullfrog, PDC etc that have a few faults but are not nightmares.
Going on almost 2 years waiting for the Nordic hot tub. Please tell me it will be worth it. Really don’t want to lose my spot by withdrawing my deposit.
There are a few top brands. Since Covid a lot of manufacturers are cutting corners to keep up with demand but right now I'd stick with Master, Jacuzzi, Coast, Sundance or the Bullfrog X-series
Well, I am at that point in my life where I am watching roundtable discussions on hot tubs haha

Happy hot tubbing!
Is Caldera Spa a decent brand?
Buy a cheap china tub for us and point out the crap that is out there!

@@ChrisWheatley how many watt heater and what type?

What are some of the higher end quality hot tub companies in the market right now?
Jacuzzi and Master spas are my top ones, then there are a few like Sundance, Coast, Artesian, that are close seconds then brands like Bullfrog, PDC etc that have a few faults but are not nightmares.
Hello want to be a hot tub technician do you have a course for it
I just got a CalSpa Cancun spa. Is that a good one? I hope so because we spent a small fortune on it
its not a nightmare brand but there are better spa for the money
What are your thoughts on the jacuzzi j-245 as a whole? How critical is a full time circulation pump?
Great overall units but I wish they had full foam standard instead of as an option
Going on almost 2 years waiting for the Nordic hot tub. Please tell me it will be worth it. Really don’t want to lose my spot by withdrawing my deposit.
brutal! but all in all they are a decntly built tub
Is Master Spas still one of the better brands?
They build a good spa with a hevy high strength shell and good parts and insualtion so yep.
what spa brand is the best?
There are a few top brands. Since Covid a lot of manufacturers are cutting corners to keep up with demand but right now I'd stick with Master, Jacuzzi, Coast, Sundance or the Bullfrog X-series
Hi, great channel with great info. Thoughts on Arctic Spa? They’re made here in Canada and seemed decent from what I could read.
