Certified Pre-Owned Hot Tubs
Every spa listed here as certified is inspected, reconditioned, and backed by a 90-day limited parts + labor warranty from our service team. That's the difference between buying from a dealer and buying from a stranger.

40-Point Inspection
Every system tested by our factory-trained tech before it sells. Shell, pumps, heater, jets, ozone, controls, electronics, plumbing, 48-hour leak test.
90-Day Limited Parts + Labor Warranty
Covered repairs include parts, labor and necessary visits at the original delivery address for 90 calendar days from delivery. No deductible, service-call fee or travel charge for covered repairs.
Reconditioned, Not Just Cleaned
New filter, fresh water, replaced worn jets and gaskets, tested chemistry, delivered ready to soak.
Local Support After the Sale
Our local team helps with water care, service and parts sourcing after the warranty ends. Parts availability depends on the model and manufacturer.
