Looks big, without seeing the inside, I'd say a Grandee.  Serial Numbers help! 

[Chas]

That is a HotSpring - and it is a three-pump model, such as a Grandee or Vista. It should be 7'7" x 8'4" and either 36" or 38" tall.

It will be from 1998 up to 2008, based on the control panel. It will run on 220 volts only, with a sub panel required.

If you can give me the serial number, I can give much more specific info.

Whats a good price?

Is it full of water and running? 

[Dawgs]

No.  It's been sitting for a year

[Dawgs]

And where can I find the serial #?

Whats a good price?

Is it full of water and running?

1) Its tough to recommend a price without knowing the year. Look inside the equipment compartment for a sticker with an alpha-numeric code.
2) You'll find the "pros" here don’t recommend the purchase of a used spa that isn't full of water and fully operating for the prospective buyer to check out. If its full of hot water and working then that’s fine (even if there are a few issues to address, there almost always are in used spas) but if its sitting there empty without power you almost have to assume the worst case scenario regardless of any promises that it was working great before they disconnected it.

These issues could include:
- Freezing (not sure if you said where you were)
- Burst Pipes
- Busted Heater
- Busted control panel
- More leaks

None of those are insignificant problems.  Filling it and firing it up might be a pain for the sellers, but really you wouldn't be asking different than buying a used car and expecting to test drive it first.

I hope these questions aren't dumb one but I'm a newbie to hot tubs.    Maybe I'll have home fill it and run it.  How long will it take to heat up?   If I fill it and run it what am I looking for?    I probably can't wait until it heats up.   The is a vacant house so no one will be there to put it on before I meet the owner there
