We know that experiencing issues with your hot tub can be quite disappointing, especially when you’re uns
ure whether it’s time for a repair or a replacement. At “Get R Gone,” we understand the complexity of such decisions and are here to offer expert advice and services on hot tub removal and disposal. Let’s dive into what you should consider when your hot tub stops isn’t hot anymore.
The Lifecycle Of A Hot Tub
Hot tubs are a significant investment and, like any appliance, have a definitive lifespan. We have also found that on average, clients are often frustrated and surprised that their spa didn’t last as long as they thought it would. Typically, a well-maintained hot tub can last between 10 to 20 years, with 20 years being on the high end for a meticulously maintained unit.
According to WhatSpa, consistent maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for maximizing the lifespan of your hot tub. Some of the common issues we see with our client’s Hot Tubs are deterioration from overuse of chemicals, waterlogged covers, rotten bases and rodent infested internals. Many of these costly issues can be avoided with some regular maintenance and routine, such as monitoring water quality, patching tears in the cover, ensuring you don’t have slow leaks and managing any rodents that are seeking out the warmth of your tub.
To Repair or Not to Repair
Deciding whether to repair or replace your hot tub involves several economic considerations. If the cost of repair is significant (i.e., more than 50% of the cost of a new hot tub), it might be more economical to invest in a new model. Signs that you might need a replacement include frequent mechanical issues, leaks that are hard to fix, and obsolete parts that are difficult or expensive to replace. It is also important to consider how often you use your hot tub. If you only use the tub once or twice a year, does it make economical sense to keep putting money into it? Consumer Reports offers a comprehensive guide on evaluating repair costs versus replacement benefits.
Why a Broken Hot Tub Shouldn’t Sit in Your Yard
Leaving a non-functional hot tub in your yard can lead to various problems. Not only does it take up valuable space, but it can also become a safety hazard and an eyesore, potentially decreasing the value of your property. It is extremely common for our teams to find a “Rodent Hotel” inside and under hot tubs that have been sitting unused from a long time. These concentrated areas can lead to rodents seeking access to your home and other areas of your yard. Moreover, stagnant water can pose health risks as it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mosquitoes. All-in-all, you don’t want an unused hot tub sitting in your yard for a long period of time. Our expertise in removing hot tubs at Get R Gone ensures that these risks are mitigated swiftly and efficiently.
