If you are on a budget and still want that soft tub, consider a used soft tub hot tub. A used soft hot tub can usually be purchased for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Where can you find a used soft tub? Go to your local soft hot tub store. Some stores take trade-ins, so they need to sell the used models to get them out of their store. Demo models can also be found at hot tub centers. These are priced at a reduced amount since they have been sitting on the display floor. Buying a used soft tub at a store will give you the peace of mind that it is in good working condition.

If you want a better deal on a soft hot tub, check your local classified ads. Buying through a private party is almost always cheaper than going to a store. When buying through a private party, you will need to really examine the tub. Preferably you will see the tub inflated so you know there are no holes. Check out the heater, the vinyl, and ask questions. You might be saving money on the purchase, but you don’t want to have any unwanted repairs in the near future. Remember that you can use chemicals at home to get it clean, so don’t worry too much about that.

Lastly, look on-line for a used model or for highly discounted items. Looking at sites on-line is a good way to find a demo, closeout, or returned item. Make sure you check the shipping costs. Shipping costs can turn a large savings into a large expenditure.
