GET NOTHING FROM DYNASTY SPAS IN RED DEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have had nothing but trouble with the product and she ( the owner) is horrid to deal with. She will not back her own warrenty and had lied to my face multiple times so yeah even if it is used check the origin and if you may have to go to her walk away now!

I would say pull off the skirting and check the wiring and plumbing it should be clean and tidy not DIY..also look at insulation is it solid and intact . Our tub cost about 10 buck a month to run on average....take a good look at the cover for this area 4 inch thick is a minimum and the lift for it should assist you as they are heavy( my wife has issues taking ours off unless it is perfectly clear of snow/ice). take a look at the filter(s) they will give you an idea about the maintenance the water has recieved and if you need to be concerned about that area.

yeah..take your time and look real close...

Everything they say about getting one rated for the north is true. You will use much more electricity trying to maintain the heat on a cheap one. If you do buy a costco one then think about insulating the inside before you have it all set up.

If you are looking for a new or used tub go to Harbour Spas, Jim is the owner and he is a great guy I have known him for several year. I would not buy a used one off Kijiji again, been there done that. Unless there was warranty still on the tub and if it came from a good store not Dynasty, totally agree with Ian statement about them.

if you've done the math on these things look used.

I figured the cost of a new unit, power, chemicals spread over 10 years divided by a realistic number of soaks, it gets pricey per dip.
