Hot Tub Warranty

Warranty is a very important part of the package when buying a soft tub. Usually, when people buy, they spend so much time on studying the features and benefits of the product, neglecting to check the service contract or warranty. So when buying something, always make sure you check for warranty. We often overlook this part of the buying process and do not realize that the warranty is our ticket to the tub's protection for many years to come.

Types of warranty

Almost all soft tub warranties look the same, but there are different kinds, actually. We usually find shell or vessel warranty. This is the one that protects the product against damages such as presence of cracks that may trigger water loss in the tub. There is the exterior shell surface warranty, which safeguards the tub surface against blistering, cracks, peels, fading, or even delaminating.

Other types

Another type of warranty often overlooked is the plumbing warranty. This type protects the buyer anytime there will be leaks in the tub. Lastly, there's the equipment warranty. This type safeguards the equipment and the controls of the tub.

Checking if warranty is fixed or prorated

Check if the warranty of your tub is prorated. Not too many buyers know that some warranties are prorated--meaning, stipulations are covered for one term. Through the years, you will be asked to pay greater amount for repairs, may they be major or minor repairs.

Let's say you have a plumbing warranty, and the components included in the warranty are covered for the first term. However, immediately the following year, you experience trouble, then you already have to pay the required amount for the parts used as well as the charges for the labor.

Dont forget to read the fine prints to get the best deal possible for your new hot tub.
