Going to look at this hot tub tomorrow:

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/for/4380598263.html

Looking for tips on inspection. It has water in it and has power to it. This is my current plan of attack.

1. Check for any wetness inside the cabinet.
2. Make sure its warm. Is there something more I can test to check the heater?
3. Make sure the jets turn on and off.
4. Make sure jets redirects work.
5. Check lights.
6. Check shell the best I can.


Anything specific I can do to check the things above?
Would damage to the shell be be obvious?
Any other tips or hints I could use to do a thorough inspection?

Thanks for the feedback!
Dan

I'm a newbie, but I'm also learning a ton be reading this forum hours and hours every day.  I've looked at so my craigslist ads, I could vomit.  It's funny how most people don't give the year of the hot tub they are selling??  I'm sure some don't know.  In this case, they didn't even mention the manufacturer, just the series of hot tub.  I would say Hot Springs are in the top ten, from my reading.  This tub looks fairly new??  Tell the owners that if they put any more water in, and 5 Americans jump in, there will be leaks! 

Bluetobb:
Not only do they not put the information in the ad, most of them don't know the information. It's painful. He does not know the year but I will check that on my phone using the serial number, which I learned here. I just want to make sure I am not buying a lemon or known problem. Not sure what I am going to offer but it won't be $2800.

Pulse is relatively new model.  Oldest maybe 5-7 years old?  Only problem we had was lights.  If they do not function properly, you have to decide how important that is to you and what it is worth.

Bluetobb:
Thank you hottubdan. I appreciate that feedback.
