The Well-Built Spa
True. All hot tubs are not created equal. And some quality hot tubs, like the Aspen Spas sold at both Best Hot Tubs’ New York showrooms (Farmingdale & Windham), and the Bullfrog Spas available at our Windham showroom, are very low maintenance.
But as car owners regularly change the oil and filters etc. in even the best made vehicles, well-constructed hot tubs require some regular servicing.
Exactly what are we talking about by “some servicing” of hot tubs? First.
These services can be done either by a hot tub owner’s reading of the manufacturer’s manual, as well as checking out videos and other instructional help online, or by expert technicians such as those at Best Hot Tubs.
Expert Technicians at Best Hot Tubs
By choosing to have experts do the servicing for you, it’s important to note that Best Hot Tubs services all types of hot tubs, not just the Aspen Spas and Bullfrog Spas available for sale in our showrooms. And our Best Hot Tubs Premium Program covers all your service needs.
“With this plan, a hot tub owner does not need to lift a finger to keep their hot tub well serviced. We wipe down the hot tub covers — and remove any snow or debris off of them when it’s accumulated,” says Jack Desposito, Best Hot Tubs Manager.
“We also do a “drain and fill” every 13 weeks (a $400 value): we first drain the tub, then wipe the inside clean including the pillows, before refilling it.”
Finally, Weekly Hot Tub Service offers a Premium Program. “It includes everything in the Basic and Standard plans,” says Joe. “But with this plan, a hot tub owner does not need to lift a finger to keep their hot tub well serviced.

What this plan does not cover, Jack says, is any maintenance repairs that might be required, such as fixing or changing the pumps, heaters and controls. While we also do such repairs, these are separate issues.
Quality Hot Tubs
Known for “Enviro Spa” construction, our Aspen shells and cabinets are made to withstand the elements.“This is key in the freeze/thaw weather we have in New York,” says Best Hot Tubs owner Bill Renter.
“This brand of hot tub resists damage from rain, humidity, heat, cold, and ice so they are popular in our neck of the woods.”
And when it comes to Bullfrog Spas, even the tray that runs underneath them, adds Bill, is made of this same injection-molded plastic of their shells. “This tray is so well integrated with the frame, no rot or rust means critters and water will not get into the hot tub and do any equipment damage. With other hot tubs, their wooden frame and cabinets allow for moisture to soften the wood.
Energy Efficiency
Well-Built Aspen Spas
Aspen emphasizes energy efficiency through “unique applications of innovative insulation materials.” Such applications, says Aspen, means they are “built to maintain warm, therapeutic water while keeping energy bills low.”
Aspen Spas include insulation foam, a fully insulated ABS bottom pan which stops the cold from seeping in, Reflectix, an insulation/foil hybrid, which reflects heat back into your spa, and its hard cover which blocks the warmth from rising out of your spa.
And Bullfrog Spas are one of the top-rated energy-efficient spas.
“Basically, we are very proud of the quality spas we sell,” says Bill Renter. “BUT Quality hot tubs also need to be well-serviced hot tubs.” To sign up for one of our Premium Program, or get more information, contact:
