Welcome to our forum.
Just because a dealer will not let you wet test (or can't let you wet test) doesn't mean you should't buy there. That's ridiculous.If the price is right(make sure it is), go for it.Of course first you would want to wet test the tub your about to buy at another dealer(if possible)
I am presently shopping for my first hot tub. So many models and so many options. Which option(s) are important. Is there any advice that you hot tub owners wish someone had told you before buying? Thanks.
I think you HAVE to wet test any spa you're going to buy. How do you know how it's going to feel unless you do? You wouldn't (or at least I would hope) go out and buy a car without giving it a test drive.
