what should I put on my hot tub cover (leather) to keep it from getting sun damage? mineral oil?

Answer
HI...Never seen a leather hot tub cover in the 10 years I have been in this business. They have always been a vinyl. Use 303 Protectant. It is the best cleaner UV inhibitor on the market. Most of the covers actually break down with Armor All.

What kind of hot tub compan do you think is the best?

I just baught a hot tub from hot springs spas. Do you like them.And can you answer my question and about Hot Springs Spas.

Answer
Hard to get parts for when it breaks down unless you go through a dealer that will charge you the maximum when the warranty runs out. I personally am not a fan of their moto massage seat. Most tubs I go to of theirs it is broken and the customer rarely wants to spend the money to fix it. It's a very "dated" design. Not a fan of their jets either. (Only jet on the market I am nuts about is Sudances') I bet the only thing I ever repair will be the seal behind it in twenty years when I do it for everyone's.

You do have a great tub from a very reputable company. Take care of it properly with balanced water and enjoy it for many years to come. I would have bought another brand though. Sort of do you own a Lexxus, Mercedes or BMW.

I am considering puting in a pool and I want to know if adding the Hot tub is really worth the money?

My wife and I live in Austin, TX where it can get pretty warm out. We know that we want to add a swimming pool to our back yard, but we are not sure about the spa. The spa will run an extra 7,000 to 9,000 dollars. Although we know that we will use it from time to time, we are not sure it is worth the extra cost.

One of my big concerns is the resale value of the home. Knowing that I will most likely only get back $.50 on the dollar if we ever sell this home, I wonder if the Hot tub will impact that price. When people look at buying a home with a pool do they see a pool in the yard or do they really take notice that their is a spa.

I guess my question is, will I actually see any more return on my investment if I have the spa built or not?

Thanks you in advance for your feed back.

Answer
yes it is in most cases
buyers look at thebig picture when they look at a home and pools add value. when they see a hot tub its anouther thing they can enjoy together and adds value. in there head they are adding pluses and minuses hey this one had a pool but this one had a pool and a hottub. its a bonus i live in florida and have a pool and my wife asked me to add a hot tube within 3 months of moving in and i live in florida.

pools generally add about 25k to the value of your home look at any appraisal and you will see homes without pools get a 25k deduction. and its all about how long will you hold the property if you plan on staying in it for 5 jor 10 years what would be the cost of a pool then and the gain will also go up.

anyone who says its a waste hasnt seen appraisals. i look at 20 appraisals a month averagage an many different states and have never seen simular houses one with a pool and one without and not seen a higher value on the one with a pool. hot tubs add additional value not to mention interest!!!

in any market its all about getting more buyers wanting your home at the same time.

we spend many nights drinking wine togethere and watching the sun set. I say go for it its worth the expense and the more buyers that place themselves in that hot tub the better for you when it comes negoation time.

What's the difference between a hot tub and a jacuzzi?

Leche

I'm staying at a log cabin for a week and it has both. I've heard that a jacuzzi is just a brand name for a hot tub, but I'm still confused. They said it has a hot tub and a jacuzzi, but if Jacuzzi is just a brand name, then why wouldn't they just say it has two hot tubs?
Sorry if this was confusing haha

Answer
Technically, Jacuzzi is a registered trade name by the Roy Jacuzzi company in California -- it's a violation of their rights to use the word in advertising except to advertise a product bought from them.

In the general market, though, the word "jacuzzi" often is used to mean an indoor bathtub with whirlpool jets, and the term "hot tub" is used to describe a large outdoor tub with whirlpool jets.

How much to ask for used jacuzzi?

not 30 yet

My parents bought a home and there is a jacuzzi hot tub on the back deck. They don't want it and would like to sell it. How much is a fair price to get for it? I think it is about 4-5 foot diameter--about 4-6 people can fit in it.

Answer
A lot depends on how old it is and who manufactured it. My neighbor has a 1999 Hot Springs Spa for sale right now listed at $800 and has had it on the market for two weeks. He has only received one call since he started advertising it. Most of the spas listed in the classified section of our local paper that are newer than his (2003-2005) are between $1000-1200.
