BUYER BEWARE: TRAVELING HOT TUB & SWIM SPA EXPO SHOWS

BUYER BEWARE:
TRAVELING HOT TUB & SWIM SPA EXPO SHOWS

Here’s Why: Hot tub and swim spa expos often market themselves as “national events” implying the presence of major manufacturers. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. These expos are hastily organized, staffed by high-pressure sales teams who vanish as soon as the event concludes, leaving no trace behind.

Don't Be Duped at the Traveling Expo

You won’t find the world’s number one selling hot tub, Hot Spring Spas, or Spas Etc at these pop-up expos. In regard to home shows, we only participate in established, reputable home shows in our service area.

Think Twice Before Investing Thousands

You need to make your decision in peace. We suggest you even schedule a consultation in your own backyard before you take delivery. That’s an offer we can provide as local company that you cannot get from a hired gun at an expo who will disappear after the event.

Dry Testing for Most Tubs at Events

If a traveling show did have a spa filled with water for testing, you might hesitate to jump in with a crowd watching. Who wants that? At Hot Spring of Jacksonville, we offer the chance for a test soak before your purchase. Whether it’s a soak in a hot tub or a swim in an Endless Pool Fitness System, these tests let you feel the jets, check water depth, and ensure the seating suits you in privacy.

Don't Be Fooled by the 'Immediate Price' Ploy.

The “50 percent off” expo price often mirrors their regular rate. In fact, expo prices can even surpass the standard ones, serving to offset the high booth and expense costs borne by sellers onto you.

Secure Local Support

One of the main reasons to avoid the traveling expo is because when the event ends the expo leaves too, and often without a local showroom or anyone to answer questions, much less provide service after the sale. That’s no way to buy a hot tub or swim spa.

Here are 9 questions to consider when buying a hot tub or swim spa:

Do you have a local showroom where I can test soak the models I’m interested in?
How long have you and the manufacturer been in business?
Can you provide references and reviews about your hot tubs and swim spas?
Do you have energy costs for typical usage certified by an independent testing lab?
What chlorine and bromine-free water care options do you offer?
What are your delivery options?
Do you provide service directly or through a third party?
Can I see a copy of the warranty?
What is your cancellation policy?
