I have three HotSpring Classic tubs, and I would like to give them away. I'm in Ventura, CA 93003.
I can load them with my forklift onto your truck or trailer.
They all run, but have sat dry for years. That means that the jet pump (Starite Maxiglas) will need a new oring - that's just the way it is with that type of pump. I can do it while you watch if you want ($20 for parts).
One is 220 volt (only) and the other two are 110 volt (only).
I'll upload some more pics when I get some time.(https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/179518_4196241511039_20640847_n.jpg)
Anyone?

Nice thought!!

I posted this on FaceBook, and was overrun by comments from friends and family who want a "Free" tub. IF I can make a careful choice so as not to alienate anyone, it looks like all three tubs have found homes.

Yikes. Doesn't giving it to friends/family implicate you / obligate you to provide free technical support? Or do you already do that? I once gave a car to a family member and always felt guilty everytime something broken from that point on.

I have had that very same experience! And yes, I will most likely be over for tech help - but I have learned how to let them know that I expect a nice meal before I got out to the patio...
Also, they will be much more likely to buy the other sundries from me. Little things like a cover, sub panel for the 220 model, supplies, rubber duckies, and any parts that they may want or need to bring them up to perfect operating condition.

I do that for people who have bought from the other guys. Many dealers do, sometimes it bites you i the a-- many times you become the hero and they end up buying a spa from you. In the spa business customer service is huge!
