One mans trash is another mans treasure.

Artesian spas Resort spas 2008 856l 6 seater.

While working at a customers house they told me they were going to have a moving company come and haul their hot tub to the landfill. I assumed it was in bad shape but decided id check it out anyway. this is what i saw. Also it is hard to see in the photos but they had left the cover V up so it had caught all the water and every leaf. 2 people could barely pick it up.So i tested the heater and jets everything seemed to be working fine. I paid a mover to get it to my house and proceeded to fill and test it at my place. I waited 2-3 weeks for the new top and it arrived damaged so i had to refuse shipment. but a week and a half later i got a top in perfect condition. I just installed the top and ez lifter bars last night. got the water treated and have it up to temp. Me and the wife will be using it tonight when she gets home from work. Once i can get better pictures (and clean the backyard) ill post final shots. All in all it turned out to be a spectacular free spa. i ended up spending around 1500$ on base and new top and fixing a small leak. had a technician look at it and everything is running as it should.

Wow! You really got lucky! They must be rich to have something like that thrown into a landfill. Good thing you were there to bring it home.
