I bought my last electric self contained hot tub for around $4500. I didnt like it cause there was too much up keep because it kept the water 103 104 degrees all year round. The pipes also kept breaking

[00Bolt]

so do you still have it? wanna get rid of it?

[PoorSvtman]

theres a place out off 35 towards my work that sells them. They have above ground pools and hot tubs all over the place

Scott,

Check out the Rec Warehouse right behind your shop and by Leslie pools....they have about 20 hot tub models on display, varying price ranges depending on what you're looking for

how hard would it be to fix crack and leak

[99WhiteBeast]

My neighbor has one he wants to get rid of. He never uses it and it is just taking up space and cost to keep it running.

Appears to be in good shape
free fifty free

[PoorSvtman]

If scott gets one i will start taking bets and how long it lasts or how long he will keep it :d :beer:

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

I have a $4500 model medium range (at best) self contained electric hot tub. After 3 years I had to refinish it and the weight of the water is distorting the fiberglass itself.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the electric ones take a long time to heat, Mine is around 8000 Watts and takes up to 3-4 hours to heat up in cool weather. I'm wanted to upgrade to a propane heater to speed this up. So unless I plan ahead when I want to use it, I just typically leave it warm all the time. The cost of this is anywhere from $35 per month to run the pump two hours a day no heat in the summer to $100 per month to keep it warm in the winter still only running a couple of hours a day. I have seen on average increase of about $50 per month for the past 3 years.

Doug,

Is yours 110v or 220 ?

Scott, factor that into the thoughts before purchase, that makes a huge difference in warm-up time.

Mine is a 220 Volt, It has a 50 amp breaker and draws about 35-40 amps when the heater is on.

This is somewhat true. Basically, it's probably a good idea to get 220v if you can. Mine is 110v and it takes a few hours to get it boiling so I have to plan ahead as well. Luckily, mine is a Hot Springs, and they are the most efficient out there pretty much. My bill only went up about $20 a month keeping it at 87 degree's or so (and I kick it up to 104 when I plan on getting in). It has TONS of insulation. I love the thing, just wish it was 220v. I'd totally recommend Hot Springs (but they aren't cheap if you buy them new!).

well im gonna check with Steve's neighbor first... if its decent, could be a great deal....

but other than that, i found a guy with a 1 year old Leisure Bay Niagra Grande 8 person, 40 jet, 220v hot tub, 2 lay down seats, perfect condition for $2300 ($6500 new)

[SILVER2000SVT]

Mine is fairly well insulated too, but it made to seat 8 people and I believe holds at least 500 gallons, so that ends up driving up the operating costs too over some of the smaller ones.
