FAQ

Common Questions

What does "certified" actually mean?

Every CPO unit passes a 40-point inspection by our factory-trained tech and gets reconditioned before it's listed. If Tony wouldn't stand behind it for 90 days, it doesn't get the CPO label. Period.

How old are the tubs?

We favor tubs under 10 years old, but age alone does not decide certification. Older units need an additional review of condition, parts support, repair cost and expected reliability by our sales manager and lead technician.

Can I see the inspection report for a specific tub?

Yes. Before a tub is listed as certified, we retain its inspection checklist, heated leak and function tests, repair records, photos, serial/model verification and technician approval. You receive an inspection summary and written warranty terms before purchase.

What happens if something breaks in month one?

Call 903-561-7565 to report a problem. Our limited warranty covers eligible parts, labor and necessary visits at the original delivery address for 90 calendar days from delivery, with no deductible, service-call fee or travel charge for covered repairs. The exclusions below apply.

What about month four?

The 90-day warranty is over, but we're still your local dealer. We service what we sell. Parts and labor are standard service rates after Day 90 — the same rates our new-tub customers pay.

Do you offer financing on CPO?

Ask us about payment options for this tub. Available financing depends on the unit, current lender programs, and credit approval; new-unit promotional offers do not automatically apply.

Can I trade in my current tub?

Yes. Submit your model, condition and photos through our trade-in form. Our team will review the tub and explain its eligibility and potential trade-in value.

What brands do you certify?

We prioritize Hot Spring and Caldera for our CPO program. Other established brands are considered case by case when parts support, condition and repair economics support reliable ownership. Caldera may be available pre-owned; it is not one of our new hot tub brands.

Come See One in Person

Ask which certified units can be viewed or demonstrated at your preferred showroom. We will confirm the exact spa, location and available demonstration options before your visit.
