If you’re in the market for a spa or pool, make sure you’re aware of what to avoid and what to look out for.
From quotes and prices to warranties and manufacturers, it’s really important that you do your homework to make sure you get more bang for your buck. Consider what factors are important to you? Are you purchasing for fun, relaxation, hydrotherapy or to increase the value of your home?
Price based decisions
Think about your overall budget for a spa or pool project and make a list of the priority factors, which will help you get the most from your purchase. A point to remember however a purely price based decision means you may miss out on key factors or functionality so always be sure you know exactly what your money will buy. Look for pool and spa retailers with as varied choice as possible, giving you more flexibility and options.
Lack of research
Failing to carry out any research increases the likelihood you may end up with a spa, swim spa or plunge pool that doesn’t tick all the right boxes. Spend some time thinking about whether you want a portable or inground spa or pool, measure the space you have so you know what size of spa you can have, and think about finer details such as the shell of the spa, where it’s manufactured, as well as spa jets and pool and spa equipment.
Lack of support
Avoid buying your spa or pool from a dealer that offers little or no support. Find out what warranty is available and don’t forget to ask about installation. Seek out a company that offers ongoing support, whether you need advice on heating control and filtration or simply need regular maintenance checks.
Spare parts
Buying from a dealer that carries spare parts is always a good idea. Spas and pools will require maintenance and repair and buying from a dealer that doesn’t carry spare parts can cause problems in the future.
