Reason 1: In-ground or semi in-ground hot tubs add a lot to construction costs

The hot tubs available from The Spa and Sauna Company are designed to be placed on a concrete pad. While you could sink them into the ground, that would require another contractor to dig a hole and possibly build a structure to surround your hot tub.

If your hot tub is placed in-ground or semi in-ground, you would require excavation, ground reinforcement, and a French drain or sump pump. That would add time and cost, and additional vendors. None of those things are necessary for hot tub enjoyment.

Plus, have you seen the cabinets on our hot tubs? They are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and functional. Why would you want to cover that up?

Reason 2: In-ground and semi in-ground hot tubs are harder to get in to

With a typical above-ground portable hot tub, you step up on a couple of steps and then into your hot tub, usually to a shelf that is about the same height as the highest step.

With a in-ground or semi in-ground hot tub, you step down into your hot tub from higher up, which means it’s a little awkward to get in your hot tub. It also increases the chances that you might slip.

It also harder to remove the cover on an in-ground or semi in-ground hot tub, because you can’t rely on the assistance of a mechanical cover lifter that pairs so nicely with a portable hot tub.

A hot tub that is harder to open and get into gets used less than one that is easy to access.

At The Spa and Sauna Company, we want to make sure you get as much use and enjoyment from your investment as possible.

Reason 3: Safety

When a hot tub is flush with the ground, you have to take extra precautions to make sure no children, pets, or inattentive adults, inadvertently step into your open hot tub.

That’s a lot less of a concern, when your hot tub is several feet above ground-level.

Reason 4: Energy Efficiency

The ground temperatures in Nevada are a lot colder than the temperature outside. That works to your disadvantage with an in-ground hot tub.

Although the temperature outside can swing by about 30 degrees from day to night, the ground temperature does not experience those variations. It just stays colder. That means the ground around an in-ground hot tub holds in the cold (not the heat) which works against your goal of keeping your hot tub hot.

You’ll end up paying more in electricity costs to keep an in-ground or semi in-ground hot tub heated.

Above-ground portable hot tubs work with the temperature and the sun exposure to reduce you energy costs.

Reason 5: In-ground or semi in-ground hot tubs are harder to access for electrical hook up

Installation is more complex. Your electrician will need access to run the wires to your hot tub. If the access area is underground it will be harder to get to. If you decide to build a structure around your hot tub, please make sure you can access the control panel and electrical hook up.

Reason 6: In-ground and semi in-ground hot tubs are harder to access for routine maintenance, routine cleaning, and service

There are times when you will need to open up your hot tub’s doors to the equipment compartment, either for routine maintenance or service. If that door is underground or even partly underground, that becomes much harder to do.

A well maintained hot tub is a hot tub that gets used more often.

Reason 7: Moving your hot tub

Should you move or decide to relocate your hot tub, The Spa and Sauna Company can help you. If you’ve submerged your hot tub, you now have a hole in your yard to fill and possible a structure to remove too.

We hope the reasons above have helped you decide if an in-ground, semi in-ground, or portable spa is right for you.

The Spa and Sauna Company gets Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers from a variety of places and we are always getting more. If you are looking for a specific color or size, check back in with us every so often.

How We Get Clearance Hot Tub Covers

Some of the ways we get these covers are:

• When we do “haul-aways” where we remove someone’s hot tub (often to replace it with a brand-new one) and they no longer need their cover.
• When people decide to get a Cover Replacement, and if their old cover is in decent condition, we evaluate it for resale.
• When new Covers get lightly damaged in our warehouses. They’re practically new, but might have a small blemish or tear.

Regardless of where we got the cover, all our Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers go through a thorough Spa and Sauna Company evaluation by our Inventory Specialist. If a hot tub cover doesn’t meet our standards, it is thrown away.

Hot Tub Cover Grading System

We have developed a grading system for our Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers that allows us to price them between $100 to $400. This can be a steep discount from a new factory replacement cover, which typically start at $499.99. Deluxe covers for larger hot tubs or those with additional features or customizations can be over $599.99, when purchased new.

Our grading system includes:

• A level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $400 and are like new.
• B level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $300 and might be slightly worn.
• C level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $200 and are typically moderately worn.
• D level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $100 and are typically very worn or have minor rips.

Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers are sold as a “cash and carry” item. We want to make sure you have seen the item first and assessed it thoroughly to make sure you are satisfied with its condition. Should you need your Clearance or Scratch and Dent Cover delivered, we would be glad to do that, for an additional fee.

Is a Clearance Hot Tub Cover Right for You?

A Clearance or Scratch and Dent Hot Tub Cover might be right for you if:

• A new cover is currently beyond your budget.
• You’ve bought one of our used hot tubs.
• You’re looking for a quality cover at a bargain price.

What is a Circ Pump?

A Circ Pump is a low-flow pump that comes standard on most hot tubs carried by The Spa and Sauna Co. A Circ Pump keeps the water in a hot tub circulating at all times. This is done so the water inside the hot tub is being filtered, heated, and treated with sanitizer 24/7.

Do I need a Circ Pump? Why?

A Circ Pump is used to enhance your hot tub experience.

Since hot tub water is only changed about every 4 months, Circ Pumps are used to keep water fresher and cleaner for a long period of time.

The Circ Pump ensures that your water is moving and clean.

While you can still purchase a hot tub without a Circ Pump, our hot tub experts at The Spa and Sauna Company recommend that you purchase a hot tub with some sort of filtration system.

Hot Tubs without a Circ Pump often use a two-speed pump. The pump is on low-speed when circulating the water and on high-speed when running the jets.

Just like switching a light on and off often burns out an incandescent light bulb faster than leaving it on all day does, constantly changing the pump speed of a two-speed pump wears out the motor in the hot tub faster than using constant filtration provided by a Circ Pump.

If replacement and maintenance costs are a concern to you, you may be better off making a slightly larger up-front investment, in exchange for less repairs and replacement costs down the line, as well as a superior hot tub experience.

What makes a Circ Pump essential for a quality hot tub?

Would you like your water to be refreshed, filtered and heated, while you are in your hot tub? Without a Circ Pump, you need to alternate between those functions.

It comes down to what is more important to you. A hot tub with a Circ Pump has an easier time maintaining the temperature you’ve selected. That’s because while you are in the hot tub, the water circulates past the heater, and fresh, sanitized, heated waster comes out of the jets, while you use your tub.

With a two-pump system, you have to decide between heated water or moving jets.

Most people have a more enjoyable spa experience, when they can have both at the same time.

Here, at The Spa and Sauna Company, it is our goal to provide you with the most enjoyable hot tub experience, at a budget that suits your needs.

Circ Pump Hot Tub models we carry start at $6,999 and go up from there. They are typically available in the Caldera Paradise and Utopia Series; the Hot Spring Limelight, Highlife and Highlife NXT series; and the Sundance 780, 880 and 980 Series, depending on which showroom you visit.

Height

How tall is the tallest person in your family?

Hot Tubs come in a variety of heights. Some are more comfortable for very tall people, while others are more comfortable for people under 6 feet tall.

While the best way to tell what is most comfortable for you is to actually get in a hot tub you are considering, the height of your tallest family members will help us pinpoint some hot tub models to start with.

Health Concerns

Does anyone who will be using the hot tub have Insomnia, Back Pain, Arthritis, or Sports Injuries?

Certain hot tubs have specialized jets designed specifically for certain areas of the body. Knowing what your biggest health concern is will help us determine if you would like hot tub circuit therapy or other special hot tub features related to jet placement and strength.

Number of People Who Will Use The Hot Tub

Is the hot tub just for you? For you and your partner? For you and a large family or all of your friends?

Local Veteran Awarded Free Hot Tub as a Thank You for His Service!

The Spa and Sauna Co., spa manufacturer Sundance Spas, and the charity Wish for Our Heroes teamed up in May 2018 to award a local veteran, Daniel Rogers, a free Sundance spa as a small thank you for his military service.

Daniel, a husband and father of two, is a 9-year member of the Nevada Army National Guard and has been on two year-long deployments overseas and a training mission in Haiti. During his mission in Haiti, his wife, Michelle Rogers, was pregnant with their daughter. During his first deployment, to Afghanistan, Michelle was pregnant with their son, who was born 5 days before Daniel returned home.

On the spa delivery day, Michelle said “It’s surreal that we have a hot tub in our backyard that we won for free.”

The family of 4 now uses their hot tub multiple times a day for relaxation, family time and pain relief. To read more and watch the video from the day of installation, Click Here.

How Much Does it Cost To Buy a Hot Tub?

So you’re flirting with the idea of owning your very own hot tub. Most of us want access to as much information on a product before we have a discussion with a retailer, so it’s understandable that you’d wonder why we don’t post hot tub pricing online.

Part of our dealer agreements with our hot tub manufacturers prohibits us from posting exact hot tub pricing online. What we can tell you is that, at The Spa and Sauna Company, our new hot tubs range from $3,000 to $20,000, meaning there truly is a hot tub for everyone. In addition to new models, we also offer pre-owned hot tubs, perfect for any budget, and occasionally at less than $3,000. Our goal is to find the perfect hot tub for you, not to convince you to break your budget.

How Big of A Room do I Need for a Pool Table?

Pool tables come in a variety of sizes to accommodate rooms of various sizes. However, you need to make sure that more than just your table will fit in your room. You also need to be able to fit your pool cues with room to move them comfortably, without hitting windows, while playing.

The smallest room you would ever want to put a pool table in is 11’6” x 14’6”. That would accommodate a 7’ pool table, with a short 48” cue. However, a slightly larger room at 12’ x 15’ would allow for that table with a 52” cue, while 13’ x 16’ would allow for a 7’ table with a standard size 58” pool cue.
