Can I try a hot tub before I buy?

Yes, that is called a wet test. Arlington and Flower Mound welcome walk-ins for a wet test. Richardson, Austin and San Antonio set them up by appointment, so call ahead.

Find a showroom
Do you offer financing?

Yes. Every showroom can walk you through current financing options and monthly payments for the model you like.

Why buy from a local dealer instead of online?

You can sit in the spa before you buy, we deliver and set it up for you, and our service desk is a phone call away after the sale. Online sellers usually leave delivery, setup and repairs to you.

Which hot tub brands do you carry?

Bullfrog Spas, Platinum Spas and Olympus Spas hot tubs and swim spas, Finnleo and Hekla saunas, Chill Tubs cold plunges and Covana automated covers. Brand pages show the models listed online; ask your showroom about the rest.

Delivery and setup

Is delivery free?

Yes, inside each showroom's delivery area at Arlington, Flower Mound, Richardson and San Antonio. Austin prices delivery by product. Every hot tub comes with a cover, cover lifter, steps and a starter chemical kit.

Delivery and setup
How far do you deliver?

Richardson delivers up to 30 miles, Arlington, Austin and San Antonio up to 50 miles, and Flower Mound up to 80 miles from the showroom.

How long does delivery take?

Usually 2 to 4 weeks in Dallas-Fort Worth and 2 to 3 weeks in Austin and San Antonio. Factory-ordered models at Richardson take 6 to 8 weeks.

Do I need a concrete pad?

You need a flat, level, solid base that can carry the full weight of the spa with water and people. A concrete pad or a deck built for that weight both work. Your showroom checks the maker's guide for your model.

Power and electrical

Does a hot tub need 240V?

Most do. Bullfrog hot tubs run on a dedicated 240V, 50A GFCI circuit and most Platinum hot tubs on 220-240V, 50 or 60A, put in by a licensed electrician.

Are there plug-in hot tubs?

Yes. Bullfrog's A5D, X5L, X6R and Calm6 can be ordered with a 120V plug-in option, and Platinum's Reims and St Tropez run on a standard 120V, 15A outlet.

What power does a swim spa need?

A dedicated 240V circuit. Bullfrog lists 50A or 60A for its Swim Series. A licensed electrician puts it in before delivery day.

Water care

Are saltwater hot tubs worth it?

Cole's honest answer: a saltwater hot tub is really a chlorine hot tub. The salt passes an electrode that turns it into chlorine. It is not autopilot. If the spa sits unused, the generator keeps making chlorine, which can over-chlorinate the water and damage the pumps, heater and shell over time. It works, but it needs regular checking.

Watch Cole explain it
Does a new hot tub come with chemicals?

Yes. Every new hot tub and swim spa comes with a chemical starter kit so you can balance the water from day one. Your showroom shows you how to use it at delivery.

Where can I buy filters and chemicals?

At any of our five showrooms, or from our supplies shop online, with filters, water care and parts for the brands we sell.

Health benefits

What are the health benefits of a hot tub?
  • Eases sore muscles. Heat opens up blood vessels, so more blood reaches tired muscles and helps them relax.
  • Melts away stress. Warm water can calm your body and may help lower stress after a long day.
  • Better sleep. A soak before bed warms you up, then the cool-down after can help you fall asleep faster.
  • Calms stiff joints. Warm water takes weight off your joints and can ease the stiffness many people feel.

Ask your doctor first if you are pregnant or have a heart or blood-pressure condition.

What are the health benefits of a sauna?
  • Good for your heart. Long-term studies link regular sauna use with lower rates of heart disease.
  • Lower blood pressure. Frequent sauna bathing is linked to lower blood pressure over time.
  • Loosens tight muscles. Heat increases blood flow, which can help tense muscles relax.
  • A calm end to the day. The heat relaxes the body, and many people use it as a wind-down ritual.

Most of the research comes from long-term Finnish studies of regular sauna users.

Traditional or infrared sauna?

A traditional sauna heats the air to about 158 to 194°F with steam from the stones, for shorter, more intense rounds. An infrared sauna warms you directly at about 113 to 140°F, so sessions feel gentler and can run longer.

Is the Finnleo sauna recall about my sauna?
