I will be getting a used less than 2 years ols) Pheonix brand spa tub. I have not been able to find anything on the net about them!

It has 28 jets, and room for five people. Do you folks think it's worth 2000.00?

Any info on phoenix tubs would be Wonderful!

Thanks for your time,

Arn

consider a tub of similar size new would run between 3500 and 4500 retail, it's not that bad of a price. Bet you could haggle it down a little more though.

Thx Charger_1 !

Thats what I wanted to hear. I'm getting it from a pseudo-father, and he said he would fix it if it doesn't run.

You see it has been sitting covered without water in it for about a year. Anything I should know about the first run?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the response.

Has this tub been subjected to freezing temperatures in that year? If so, you could run into a burst waterline somewhere. Even when you drain a tub, there will always be some residual water in the plumbing that you can't remove without blowing all the lines out with large volumes of compressed air. Even condensation that occurs naturally can produce enough residual moisture to cause problems in the event the tub freezes. So, be prepared for that possibility. Also, the pump bearings, if they were well-used prior to sitting, could potentially seize. The pump seals may have dried out, but that isn't too common. The best advise I can give you is to fill up the tub in a location that is easy to access, and check for leaks. If you can, power up the tub in that location also so you can check operation of everything before installing it to the perminant location. If he still has it wired up, that is the best time to try operating the unit and checking for leaks. Depending on how close you are to the person, you may want to offer half down, and the other half once the tub is installed, leak free, and running. Also, depending on relationship, get it in writing.

Excellent!

I'll go fill it up and try it out. I like the idea of finding problems now because I plan on putting it in a cramped location. now it's out in the open.

Thanks a lot!
