Jacuzzi says that responding to customers has always been ‘the driving force behind our success’
Owning a hot tub is now so easy. Extended warranties, innovations, more gadgets and critically lower energy and chemical usage have all contributed to take the stress out of owning a hot tub. The hassle free experience comes thanks to manufacturers who continue to work hard on improving the performance and durability of hot tubs
Y
ou don’t need to cast your mind back too far to realise that life is very easy these days for a hot tub owner.
Manufacturers are still working hard and taking away the concerns and providing the best possible products to make owning a spa effortless. The changing circumstances have happened pretty fast so now if you are starting down the road of buying a hot tub you’ll find on offer the most comprehensive warranties for your purchase the industry has ever known.
And if you get into the discipline of having your luxury item properly and regularly serviced
then the tub almost certainly will end up a trouble free zone.
And the extra gadgets and technologies available to personalise a hot tub, become mouth-watering.
On offer are systems which are self cleaning, systems which use less chemicals, run on lower energy, have improved filtration, include low maintenance units, have fewer moving parts in jets to wear out, have non-ozone depleting solid foam insulation and cabinet technology using fibre moulded cabinets which will last 25 years plus with zero maintenance.
“These levels of warranty coverage now available represent some of the longest warranty periods offered by any manufactured consumer goods in the world”
All this is covered with a seven, ten and even 25 year warranty depending on the parts involved. Then there’s service and repair. The hot tub industry has successfully produced a quality service and repair infrastructure which offers peace of mind with annual servicing, maintenance and inspections.
Dealers view long warranty coverage periods as vital in helping them sell new hot tubs. It’s a strong reason not to be tempted by online cheaper hot tubs from China which often offer the minimum one year parts only warranty. Compare that with what’s available from top branded products with seven to ten year warranties against surface defects, a five to seven year parts warranty against electrical or plumbing defects and a 25 year full structural warranty is somewhere nearer to the norm.
Catalina Spas offer a deal where if you have your hot tub serviced every year they will rewind your warranty back to year one. These levels of warranty coverage now available represent some of the longest warranty
