Hot Tub Sales: Things You Must Know
When it is time to buy a new hot tub, you may be considering a salt-system for your hot tub. Salt systems can be a good buy as long as you have full disclosure, and complete honesty from your dealer. There is a phrase in Latin: "caveat emptor," which means: "let the buyer beware." Salt system based hot tubs have a lot to be wary of. Let's look at some of the claims out there.Here's one: salt water systems are cheap to purchase. Well, that depends on how you define "cheap." A standalone salt water system runs $500 to $700. In addition, most of these systems have only a one year warranty, so at one year and one day, you're on the hook for repairs. But what about built in salt water systems?
Hot Tub Maintenance: Grandiose Claims Vs. Reality
When you buy a hot tub, built in salt systems can run up to $1500, and again, only have a one year warranty. Some hot tub dealers out there will throw in a salt system for "free" with the purchase of a hot tub. However, if you think about it, wouldn't it be better to get a $1500 discount on your hot tub as opposed to a freebie that is expensive to maintain and keep up? While monthly hot tub salt is half the price of chlorine based systems, you also have to purchase: hot tub chlorine, hot tub shock, calcium remover, pH elevators, pH lowering agents, stain and scale defense, de-foamer, and 5 way test strips. As we covered previously, over a period of five to ten years, you will end up spending thousands on water sanitizers. However, there are more reasons to be wary.One hot tub salt system manufacturer proudly proclaims "Real diamonds used in every salt cell!" There is no nice way to put this: big whoop. Diamonds are used to convey an air of luxury and to make the salt cells appear more valuable than they truly are. What people don't realize is that the diamonds in question are essentially made from industrial grade diamonds, not the sparkly things you see in a jewelry commercial. In addition, these "diamonds" are essentially crushed and powdered diamonds and when the salt cell is used up, they're thrown out. So be sharp here. Don't be fooled by some over the top claim, nor a bunch of shine and polish that is nothing. And make sure you ask your hot tub dealer in Glendale for their advice on what sort of system is best for your hot tub.
