Hot Tubs for Sale at Costco: Best Deals, Reviews and More 

I am so glad it helped man.

I sure will!

Hey there! Great review! Super helpful :) I just bought this exact tub on the same deal you got. Just wanted to check to see what type of chemical maintenance you are using on it? With it being a smaller Ozone tub, I'm curious how much chemicals are even needed to keep it clean. Thanks!

It is the aquaterra adrianna check it out!

Thank you. It really is!

No problem are you going with Costco? If so let me know

You nor I can predict how long anything will last. I think simple is better. This tub is simple and it works. I think your argument only suits your idea that spending more means your going to get something that lasts longer and that is simply not true. I have a basic jet tub in my master bedroom its a pump and four jets. its lasted 20 years and the pump finally went. For you to just judge a hot tube with no facts its absurd. In addition know your facts. Fiberglass is something id never want in a tub. Its fragile and prone to cracking

You are correct Anthony, this is perfect for someone that wants to take a tub home, plug it in, and jump in that night. As you can see in the video this is really just a large plastic bathtub with a small pump that moves water around, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. At that price point it is a good deal. I love Costco personally, and I shop there all the time, they have good quality items. But the reviewer is obviously not that familiar with hot tub manufacturing. To think cheap roto moulded plastic is somehow better than an acrylic and fiberglass shell is like saying their Yugo will outlast your Toyota. The operating expenses for this tub will be twice what a quality tub costs, I'm an electrician and it's basic math. But this guy got a tub that he can have friends over and have a good time. That is what matters. And it could last 10 years, it doesn't have to cost 10K to last that long.

First off the reviewer doesnt have to be familiar with hot tub manufacturing to be happy with his purchase. ALL hot tube are big bathtubs that move water around. More expensive ones have dual pumps more jets and more features. Not saying paying 10 grand for a hot wont get you a better quality product but longevity is not guaranteed with anything. Also big brands such as thermospa have acrylic models as well at over double the price. As far as making assumptions of the operating expense that is absurd as well. Use, location, temperature etc all determine that. In addition a 220 line vs a 110 isnt any more efficient. It just runs the heater at 4000 watts as opposed to 1000. It heats up faster and maintains temp because the heater is on when the pump is on. This tub using it daily at max temp in the winter at about 30-39 degrees costs me about 40 dollars per month. Less if I dont use it as much. Lets not forget a 220 line costs 1800-2000 dollars to install so lets not forget about the electricians rip off fee. I installed a dedicated 110 for 50 bucks.

A self supporting fiberglass shell ? that doesnt make it better. Acrylic has give to it. Fiberglass cracks. Not saying its bad im just saying you nor I know how long this tub will last. Thats just common sense.

Works great man. Absolutely zero issues. It's been one of my best purchases

Yea that may very well be. Mine was came with free delivery and I saved money by setting it up myself and doing the electrical work.

Thanks man ! Yea the hottub has been great.

Oh no problems at all

Hey my pleasure. Im glad you found it helpful

Hell yea! Your gonna love it!

@@PhatkatCollections can you put together a video on how to maintenance the hot tub and what chemicals to use, please!

Got delivered this morning! $100 for them to put it in the back it took 3 weeks!

Well first of all your incorrect. Your "opinion" of what my video should include does not mean its over simplified. The process is exactly as stated. I am not sure about your situation, however most folks do not need to even go through a doorway to access their back yard. This spa went through my door perfectly. You telling me that I oversimplified it because of what some doorways might measure is irrelevant. It is common sense that every persons home will be a unique delivery. The point, that you missed, is what to expect when ordering a hot tub from a big box store such as costco. I state that the delivery will be curbside and that throwing a little cash at the 3rd party delivery guys might make delivery a bit easier. Of course, if you buy from a local place that charges you 6-20 grand for a hot tub, your going to get a delivery that is easier. Your statement, you get what you pay for, is false. We all know that no one can guarantee the lifespan of anything. Also, spas are not spaceshuttles. If I have an issue, costco will point me in the right direction. They really stand behind things they sell. You also mentioned that the top manufactures provide a dealership network for service. Um no, that is not entirely true. The customer is ultimately paying for that by being ripped off by the mom and pop spa shops. In addition you are over complicating owning one of these. water chemistry and maintenance is super easy and if there are questions imagine a tool that allows you to access information at the tip of your fingers whenever you want called the internet. You act like water chemistry is some big mystery LOL. We are not cooking meth here dude. The only reason a person would have an issue with water chemistry is due to neglect. Its pretty simple man. I think most people can sprinkle a few chemicals into a big tub of water LOL. In addition, I am not sure what kind of spa dealers you have worked with, but pretty much every spa dealer in my town would be willing to test my water if needed regardless of where I purchased the spa. If a dealer wouldn't, he wouldn't be getting my business for future chemical purchases. Ill finish with this. Just because you spend more doesn't mean you get a superior product or a guarantee. If this were true , you wouldnt be able to purchase a 90k dollar jaguar 7years later for 20 grand. This can be said with many overpriced things. Now im not saying that there arent differences but lets not treat a spa like some state of the art F-22 fighter. Its not that complicated.

I’ll take the Lifesmart with no network for 6k less. Thanks

@@RT-qz5ci hahaah yell yea bro

Not much man

Yea man wait for the sale. Ive been very happy with mine.

Thanks bud glad I could help

I still need to purchase one!

Hey thanks for sharing. So far so good with the hot tub. Yea 8000 naaaaa, 2000? yes great price. Hey I love it. I figure if my jet tub has lasted 25 years this shouldnt be any different. A few more pieces of electronics thats about it.

No problem bud! Yes larger tire dollys will help. It will come on its side as well.

Should be able to use 2” PVC pipes to go over thought terrain, and slide it like the Egyptians - but use pipes like railroad ties. Hope that helps.

jen stuart you could remove a fence panel temporarily? No need to go over the fence, go through it!

How did he fit it through that door?

Folks I measured the door and determined it would fit. That simple

You could always just say thank you instead of being a self entitled kunt

not sure what you mean. the tub was only 2200 out the door and it only costs about 30 dollars extra a month in power. totally worth it in my opinion. I'm sure you pay close to 300 a month for your cell phones or your cable bill. I'd much rather this than crummy nonsense tv

@@PhatkatCollections I didn't mean anything negative by it, I am just a cheapskate quite honestly. You are right, worth every penny. It really is.

no worries bud. if it's not worth it for you that's ok. for me it's one of the best additions to my home. love it.

@@PhatkatCollections I have one too, they are great. Mine was free from a friend and retailed somewhere about 5k. Couldn't agree with you more, but to the original point you can buy a new hot tub or a car. lol That's all I was saying, no judgment.

yes I am not sure what kind of car you can get for 2000 dollars but best of luck. of course , if you don't have a car and need a car of course don't buy the tub. I have three cars so I'm good lol.

I just squatted it down and out my finger tips under the too edge.

Already filmed a 3 years update bud. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hjShdsDwma4.html tub works flawlessly. Still using it all the time.

It's been a great hit tub

sorry for the late reply but you are very welcome

NOPE. IM SURE IT IS GOOD

You should! I got a killer deal. They have a few aquaterras right now but they are 4k. Still worth it I love mine

@@PhatkatCollections I actually did order one last week it was on sale for $2799.00 reg $3499.00 and I got a $250.00 Costco gift card. I'm so excited. 😎☺😊

Well there really isnt anything that needs to be serviced. In the event of some sort of issue I would think any hot tub repair person could fix this by ordering parts. Costco Is pretty awesome about what they carry and in the event of service I would say they would be able to get it taken care of. You cold call them and ask though.

No problem!

not a problem at all won't hurt it.

I mean that's a really tough question man

I dont understand your question.

fantastic! one of the best purchases I have ever made

did they really laugh at you? I would make sure I never purchased anything from those stores as thats not the way to treat a potential customer. Mine is not a divine it is an aquaterra. I have had no issues however any reputable spa repair shop should be able to fix it. Also I would contact costco. They are all about taking care of the customer.

Phatkat Collections Thanks for the reply. We decided not to contact Costco since it is out of warranty and we are not those people like some I’ve heard that think Costco is responsible for everything. The spa shop rep near us chuckled softly as she took my information and said someone would call, I waited and called a couple more times over the next week. Answered once, took messages the other times. The last time I called them, the woman said she was in the warehouse and would talk to me in a minute when she got to the office. She never returned to the line. Another company asked why didn’t you buy from us? And then said we can’t help you.

I guess I'm a bit confused. Why would you not want to contact Costco , the place you purchased it, but contact places you didn't purchase it from.ans expect them them to help you. To me it seems the best way to get the problem resolved is to get contact Costco. At least they will try and help you. Costco takes care.of their customers and will not slam the door in your face. Makes no sense to contact local mom and pop spa stores and not the place you actually bought it

I mean that's like me having an issue with one of my Invicta watches and taking in to a Rolex dealer to get it repaired.

Phatkat Collections well the warranty is over, there is no service department at Costco, what do you think I should do, ask them for a refund? After 4+ years? That would be ridiculous. They would maybe at best find a service contact maybe from Columbus at a cost of oh say $500.00 to start with. You know as well as I do that all the tubs from reputable companies use the same parts and any local spa dealer claiming to service spas would be able to service it, if wanting the business, all as YOU said in your original reply. Hardly like taking a watch etc. I’ve got no problem with your vid, I just related my personal experience I’m not sure what you’re confused about. You seem to be increasingly upset about my experience like I did something wrong. I just suggested people be careful about buying something that a service company in their own area may not want to service. Buying the Divine from a company 2000 miles away was not a good judgment for me. To the extent you are interested in it, I think I will be able to fix it using readily available parts from many suppliers, including Balboa, the supplier of the electronics. Anyway I liked your video, just not my experience, sorry, not sorry.

I imagine its not hard, most likely some jumpers or wires on the board, but you need to know what your doing. As far as a 220, get ready to pay an electrician the cost of the tub to put one in .

not sure I didnt convert it. Prob a few jumper settings or something but I have no clue.

Fatima Solano that’s pretty inexpensive for a hot tub.

Well that is you. I would rather save the money. Its easy enough to just do yourself but it depends on the person.

Shipping was free and included

Yup love it. Tub works great. Servicing can be done by any local spa place .

@@PhatkatCollections Cool. Does the Costco/Aquaterra warranty pay for any local spa place to come service it?

That I do not know but you really don't have to service them unless it breaks

I don't know what your comment even means sir

@@PhatkatCollections jesus christ never mind

don't get bent out of shape because I can't understand your attempt at putting together a sentence. I can only assume you are trying to brag about how you fixed a broken hot tub and somehow you think it's funny I purchased a new one or you find it funny your hot tub heats up 2 dig per hour. Your comment makes no sense.

HAHAHAH THANKS

Actually you are over generalizing. Most brands do not give you a seven year warrenty. Costco on the other hand states that if your unhappy for any reason with any of their products minus computers and electronics you can get a refund. In addition, as far as efficiency you are 100 percent wrong. Efficiency had nothing to do with the price of a tub. Location, usage, electricity cost and insulation determines cost of usage. My buddy spent 8 grand on his tub I spent 2k. The operating cost is about the same. They say 220 tubs are more efficient but the efficiency is not in regards to operating cost it is in regards to how fast the unit can best the water and maintain temp. My tub can go 220 or 110. At 110 the heater draws 1000 watts at 220, 5000 watts. Wattage is wattage. If my tub takes an hour to get back up to 104 degrees a 220 will do it much fast but at a higher power consumption for a shorter time. At the end of the cyce the lower usage is the same.

Phatkat Collections not talking so much about the 110 vs 220 thing. In reality other than quicker and heat/pumps at the same time efficiency is around 5-7% better on 220 which I would consider minimal. It is much easier on the pumps tho in the long run. I’ll try to find the post from the guy explaining Costco and samsclub units and what they do inside the tub vs what it shows and says on the outside. Including the whole pump number scam when they add a low end air pump to say more pumps. Also the larger jets on the outside with the same smaller feed hoses going to them and the pumps being undersized you properly run them. And they are doing this on more expensive models than this one. I’d agree that for this price you can’t get better near it. But people that look at the 5k+ Costco units it’s different. The warranty thing is something people don’t really want to get a refund. Getting that thing back to the store is a nightmare.

I'm just saying there are no guarantees in life and just because a person spends 10k on a tub doest mean it will be less problematic or outlast a less expensive tub.

I would like to as well. I dont have that one bro. i should have pulled the trigger on the black model with gold, rose and silver cable. its gone now

No clue bud

Syndicated Satellite about 2 hours for the water to cool down once you turn the water heater off

@@bigbeatyswollocks4859 that doesnt make any sense I think you misunderstood the question

Yea sorry bud did I say 2000 out the door?

Don't be a jerk. What hot tub do you own. Most tubs are made with the same equipment. Controls n pumps

lol, found the local spa salesman

Hey you sack of hater ass shits. Hot tub still running great guess you morons feel like a couple of morons. Must be tough going through life a jealous RU-vid troll.

@@david86768 your not funny your stupid troll.

Hey dipshit. 4 years later and still running strong. How's it feel to look like a dumbass

first of all asswipe a fee things floating around is inevitable when the hot tub is place under trees and a pergola. second, this hot tub is not disposable. you morons think you have to pay 8 grand for a tub for it to last. completely I correct. third 220 does. it give you more jet power and this hot tub can. be 220 or 110. 220 only allows the heater on she. the pump is on high. that's the only difference. it's not more efficient it's just quicker at reheating. 220 draws 4000 watts on this tub when 120 draws 1000 for the heater. it's capable of hearing the water quicker due to more wattage. more wattage equals more power used. yes you use more power for less time but you still ultimately use the power. more power for a shorter time as apposed to slower longer temperature increase. and the water is. it nasty you hater troll fuck. it's got a little debris on it from normal use you bag of shit

4 years later still running strong. Guess its not disposable afterall chump!
