mbonham Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I can't get one right away, but for planning I'm curious as to what people recommend. On the low end of the price range. Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spa_Guru Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you have less than $4000 to invest in a spa, get a sauna instead. Less upkeep cost by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan The Spa Man Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 If you have less than $4000 to invest in a spa, get a sauna instead. Less upkeep cost by far. Agreed: At this point, Spas haven't evolved enough yet to produce a great quality price-point spa. As a dealer, I have learned that lesson the hard way and now would rather pass up on the $4000 than sell a sub-par product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spa_Guru Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 You will pay $500-$1000 a year to use a hot tub year round. That is figuring $200 for chems and $300 for electricity. New cover every 5 years - add about $75/yr New filters - varies $30-250/yr depending on if you use disposable. Any accessory designed to reduce maintainence is going to increase the annual cost - some by as much as $1000/yr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo217 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Just out of curiosity what accessory would cost $1000 a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spa_Guru Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Just out of curiosity what accessory would cost $1000 a year? Pretty much any salt water generation system. $1000-$1500 to buy, then a one year warranty -- and the cells last about a year @ $800 a whack. http://www.poolspaforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37152&hl=%2Bhot+%2Bsprings+%2Bace#entry155115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
