Best Hot Tub for a vacation rental?

<< < (2/3) > >>

wmccall:
Welcome to the forum. In my 15 years here, I don't know that I have seen this question before.  My first thought before reading all the other replies, is use a basic tub, not a lot of lights and features.  I understand Bull frog makes a good tub, but I probably wouldn't use one that had removable packs on a rental property given the nature of renters and sticky fingers!

Thank you wmccall. Grateful to have folks on this forum with experience that can guide newbies like me. Closing in on a Rotomold (no sure about company, model etc) or Hot Springs Rhythym (being quoted $8K delivered) or Bull Frog X based on recommendations here. Main concern right now is the look of Rotomold and if it really offers the durability vs HotSprings or BullFrog. Between the HS and BF I like Bullfrog X for the 5 year warranty vs 2 yr. BullFrog A6 has a lifetime warranty on the shell so that's attractive but obviously more cost and the jetpack system which is not ideal for rentals. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on Rotomolded tubs. They dont look that nice but will it last 20+years?

Don't put too much emphasis on frame/structure warranty, especially when its from a reputable manufacturer.  The shell rarely fails and in the event there is an issue, it is usually with the acrylic which has a shorter warranty.

Rotomold could be a great option for you.  While I do not sell anything rotomold, a lot of Hot Spring dealers I know sell Freeflow and are happy with them.

They are damn near bullet proof, good insulation if you add the Nordic Wrap option and parts are easily available and affordable (they don't use proprietary parts like some brands) after the warranty period is over.  Good Luck!

Just to correct you there.  BF has a lifetime warranty on the structure.  The shell is 10 years (structure) for the A, 7 years for the surface (again on the A.)  Then it drops down to a 5 and a 3 on the R and the X Series.

The Lifetime is only on the structure itself (something you will never use)

The X does have a 3 year warranty versus the Hot Spots (2)
