Hot Tub Repo Episode #1 Repossessed in less than 30 Minutes The Spa Guy Nashville 

Sarah I use both in the videos and the slider will do many things you can't do with pipes..

you can repo anything, i once had to repo a ham sammich from a girl i took to lunch. I had to go through the back door to get to it , but i got it! LOL

@deszizuzewioulze ze Liberals/Socialists think so. They think you and I should pay for it.

@@spaceghost8995 Yes. He was also elected President of the United States, and is worth several billion dollars.

@@MDavidG1 keep those red hats on, cause when the time comes I want to make sure there is no mistakes on who gets it

As a tow operator I was surprised as you may be to see on my repo stack a lawn mower but I tell you I repo it was it easy no not at all but I got it

Red neck job.

No reason to wrap the acrylic.. I have moved more than 1000 tubs never damaged one..

​@@SpaGuy What do you with an Arctic out of interest?

@@simonc9874 I don’t understand the question? Are you talking about wood sides?

@@SpaGuy Exactly, with the annoying dado rails. I tend to build the side up for fear of putting all the weight on the rails. Perhaps I'm over thinking it.

@@simonc9874 Which strong right there’s no way that you could move now I have had situations where I build a board to go in between.. I always use a backer board in the backboard has Foam on it so it’s not likely to create an issue scratch anything the biggest thing is is I don’t want it leaning if I’m trying to go through gates and that kind of stuff so that would be the only time that I would put something under there to build it up

I would just take the Pitbull too...

Most Pitbulls make useless guard dogs.

Thank You for Watching it makes my day.. Spa Guy

The way I see it that goes for most things in life.

Why pay cash when you can finance interest free most things in life.

Or anything except a house for that matter

not everyone has that option, but if you know you can afford the repayments then I don't see any problem. I've just bought a hot tub yesterday on 0% Finance and about £80.00 a month over 5 years, I can easyly afford that.

@@jay3fox a lot of people think like this, now look what happened, millions of people losing their jobs and those 0% finance payments are still due, not so smart now if you ask me.

That is huge mistake.. In-ground is not even close to this type of hot tub and if it leaks you cannot even see the plumbing.. It is like buying a car and welding the hood shut..

A lot of experience and use of tools...

Always..

+carschmn Thanks I am not glad people don't pay but I do enjoy making the videos..

+Travel Guru TV We purchased the slider from Karl at Spa Sled...

Spa Guy Very cool. Thanks for getting back to me!

Yes we just grabbed and tipped it up it is easy with 2 people on a 7 foot tub an 8 foot tub is much harder.. You would just lift and put 2" pic under and roll it will be easy..

@@SpaGuy Thank You!

I was thinking that myself.

I sell it on my site.. hottubpartsofamerica.com/spa-slider-for-moving-hot-tubs-and-other-heavy-objects-tool/

Sir Jaxx ... you need to run a #6/4 cable for code.

@@rupe53 The unit is not 3 phase, but 240v 30 amps. 6/3 w/ground is needed to compensate for the voltage to the hot tub and Sauna. Plus an outlet or two for lighting.

@@SirJaxxSirJaxx ... I misspoke. What I meant was 4 wires total. 6/3 plus a ground is fine from the panel to the outside of the home but generally speaking that's not rated for underground / wet . At some point you would change over to conduit and use THHN for the rest of the run, keeping in mind the service disconnect should be within sight of the tub. There are also certain distance requirements from that disconnect (and outlets) to the tub. There are outdoor "spa panels" made that have a space for your tub breaker and a service outlet breaker. Quite handy!

@@rupe53 Let me lay out what I planning to do here. Starting at the meter I plan to drop a 2" close nipple down to a 2 pole Breaker box rated for 100 amps, but will use a 60 2p breaker. From the bottom of the switch, I have 2 options, go out through the back of the disconnect into the cavity and route my 6/3 cable into the cavity and down through the sill plate into the crawl space, or I can drop a 2" nipple with an LB and into the crawl space. I will that route 30' of 6/3 cable directly across the floor joists to the other block wall foundation and exit through that foundation. Then up in Conduit into a Lockable Service disconnect switch and from there I will route the 6/3 direct burial cable 70' over to a Stub out mounted on a wooden post and install a 30a 2p outlet. I will reinstall the 30a 2p 240v appliance cord and plug and use it as the Service Disconnect for the Hot tub and probably the same set up for a future Sauna. I will add 2 20a 120v convenience outlets on the sides of the post too for power and Lighting. The Power and lighting circuits will separate that were originally from the garage to a Trailer hookup, about 100' long, I plan to hire a Kid to dig it up from the outlets back to where I bend it over to the same post I will be using for the Hot tub outlet.

@@SirJaxxSirJaxx Yer gonna have to check on some local code for a few things but I can tell you that an outlet does qualify as a local disconnect, but it must be a GFIC circuit and it must be a certain distance from the tub. (usually more than the standard 6 ft appliance cord) Also, you may not be able to tap directly from the meter box unless there's a breaker box already there, which is where you should tie in. (main panel) Those outlets usually need to be further away from a hot tub than the hot tub disconnect. (recalling 12 - 15 ft?) Some of this is national code and your local code may be more strict. (further away) There are several articles I have found on the web about project like this and from experience I would say to select the ones where they keep mentioning national code. (NEC) This will keep you safe, although you should also check on local code for any inspections and future sale of the property.

Yes I would like to know as well.

Hire a mover

I have never moved one tub that I was not wearing Crocs and I have moved over a 1000..

@@SpaGuy Sir, thanks for being amazing

Nope we deliver as fast as we pick up..

What a stupid thing to say.. My Business has always been good and it has made me quite wealthy.. I simply don't send boys to do a man's job..

@@SpaGuy Hahahaha. That got me.

Shows you know nothing.. There is more chlorine coming out of your water hose than is in a hot tub.. Every tub owner drains the tub by the way where do you think they drain it to?? Yep the yard..

If you have one of my tubs you better sleep in it if you don't want me to get it without you knowing!! Spa Guy

Aaaaaaaaaaaah Haaaaaaaaaaaa!

neverd1e pay your bills loser. otherwise you're stealing.

Spa Guy its your spa mate you left it here you aint getting nothing back

If you had my Hot Tub and hadn't paid I would already have it.. No Hot Water for You!!

Yep, I became wealthy wearing crocs and moved every tub I ever moved in them.. which is in the 1000's..

They are only easy to take for The Spa Guy not some random person..

If You can't spell it I doubt that it is... Just Saying...

Wtf does that even mean?

No it’s not Fucktard

Troy, We in-house rent to own hot tubs... We also use finance companies but I mostly sell used tubs so it was not until the last few years that finance companies would finance them..

And let’s be honest this isn’t the first time you’ve repo’d a hot tub. I’d even venture a guess that you do quite a bit of it and it’s part of your business model.

I didn't because I have a contract.. In the contract it says I can come get my hot tub at any time if you are in default..

They sign paperwork giving me permission to get my property.. They can refuse me and when we go to court they pay all of the court costs including my attorney and I still get the tub.. I can put a lean on their property so that is why I grab it quick to avoid all of these things..

Cool

@@SpaGuy it's all legal till you get caught

All that equipment (slider & spa dolly) make it fairly easy.

I financed these tubs and they didn't pay so I repo'd them..

I doubt you or anyone else could do a number on me..
