How long does a hot tub last?

The duration of how long a hot tub will last depends solely on the quality of a hot tub and its materials. Lesser quality, less expensive hot tubs tend to last only four to five years. Higher quality hot tubs can last from ten to twenty years with minimal service or repair. Hot tub parts, however, are a different story. The first item that needs to be replaced is usually the cover, so be sure to look for one that is of high quality. The second item to be replaced is the heating element, usually due to well water or water with a high mineral content. To avoid the corrosion that these types of water can bring, look into titanium heaters.
