What to Expect at a Hot Tub Store: A Comprehensive Guide to Your Shopping Experience

What can I expect at a hot tub store?

When you are ready for your visit to a hot tub store, you should expect a friendly greeting upon arrival from a knowledgeable and helpful salesperson. You should be able to look at a variety of models from reputable brands that you know have high-quality products. You may be able to view the hot tubs in vignettes that can help you imagine how your hot tub will look in your own outdoor oasis.

In addition to viewing a selection of models and brands, you may also be able to learn about additional options from specific brands. When looking at models you like, your hot tub dealer should be able to inform you about what comes standard with a particular model and what upgrades you might enjoy to further enhance your experience.

Your hot tub dealer should also be able to guide you through a brief tutorial of how a specific model you like works, so you know exactly how to use it when it is delivered and installed.

You can also ask about performing a wet test once you’ve narrowed down your choices to “the one.” When you do a wet test, you will get into the model you like when it is filled with water and operating. This way, you can determine if you like the seating configurations as well as the jets, which can often be adjusted for direction. Jet pressure can also be customized, depending on the model you choose.

You can also learn about any special deals that the hot tub store may have going on. They can also help you understand the warranties and financing options of a particular model as well as go over additional costs for delivery and installation. You can even find out approximately how much your hot tub will cost to operate every month. This way, you’ll have a clear understanding of upfront costs as well as ongoing running costs of your hot tub.

Hot tub dealership visit checklist

Call ahead to see if you can simply stop in or if you need to make an appointment. Then take this handy checklist with you to your local hot tub store:

• Bring measurements and photos of the area where you plan to have your hot tub placed.
• If you are scheduled to do a wet test, bring a bathing suit or wear it under your clothing. And bring a towel to dry off.
• Determine the basic size and shape of the hot tub you’d like and how many people will be using it.
• Decide if you want your hot tub mostly for relaxation, recovery, entertainment, solo time, training, and so on.
• Look, touch, and feel. Check out every model’s jets, seats, sound, maintenance, and family friendliness. For example, if you have little ones, a cool-down seat is a great place for children.
• Ask about water care, ease of ownership, dealer references, delivery and installation details, and warranty and financing options.
• Once you’ve made your purchase, ask about any pre-delivery information your hot tub dealer may have to share and ask when delivery and installation can be scheduled.
• Ask your spa dealer if they have any photos of previous installations. This can give you an idea of what your delivery day might look like and also inspire some backyard design.
