I usually recommend to people that you are better off getting a high-end hot tub a few years old rather than a cheap hot tub brand new. A 7 year old Hot Spring that was well maintained could easily have another 10 to 15 years in it.

It'll be inside the equipment area somewhere and as noted above it should be alpha-numeric and start with an "H".

My Wife & I bought a used 2007 Great lakes tub & we found that we liked it do much we bought a new hot spot relay.

Also if you buy used from a reputible dealer you shouldn't have any problems.
