Title: Finding the age of a used hot tub
Post by: pjlamb44 on May 22, 2021, 06:18:11 pm

I am looking to purchase a used Coleman 471 hot tub from someone.  They got it with the house they bought, so don't know the exact age of it.  There should be somewhere on the tub to see when it was manufactured.  Where would that be?

If it is pre 2010 it will be made by Maax Spas. Post 2010 it will be made by LMS parent company of CalSpas I think.
Look inside the cabinet for tags or around the base of the spa there might be some info.
Is the topside Grey (pre 2010) or Green (post 2010) with the Coleman lamp logo on it?
Coleman has nothing to do with Coleman Spas other then whoring out the name

There could be info on the control panel cover but that could also be just the control box manufacturer stuff.

One of the headrests says Maax on it and the topside is green so I am getting conflicting information for the age.  There isn't anything inside that says any manufacturer.

Did you check for a tag along the base? Otherwise post photos.
