Large Quality Aspen Spa
When we first wrote our blog below, Best Hot Tubs sold Bullfrog Spas at all three of our locations. At this time, however, they are only available at our Windham store.
But quality hot tubs are still available at all our showrooms and we hope this update will help you realize your dream of a hot tub.
First. We know you want a quality spa. One you can count on. Best Hot Tubs owner, Bill Renter, says that since we added Aspen Spas in our showrooms, he’s seen an interesting trend.
“Sometimes things happen to spas that require repair. However, the Aspen Spas we’ve sold have the least call backs after delivery of any new spa we’ve sold in recent years. This is strong proof of quality.”
Bill adds that one brand we sold in the past had a surprising 90 calls for repairs in only three years. So Best Hot Tubs dropped that line and focused on the spa line that rarely generated a call back — Aspen Spas.
“I can count on one hand the number of calls we’ve had after Aspen deliveries,” adds Bill. “If you want the most reliable hot tub, with the least problems — this is your spa.”

New York’s famous ‘Hamptons’ and other Long Island playgrounds have opened to vacationers. Beachfront and pool-side homes as well as local businesses continuously face the onslaught of summer visitors.
One Westhampton couple, when preparing for the summer rush, purchased a home to operate as a rental until they retire. The home can accommodate about 20 visitors, boasts delightful beach views from its porch, and has a graceful concrete pool and new Cambridge patio.
“What was missing in their minds,” says Best Hot Tubs’ Bill Renter, “was a hot tub — and one sufficiently large to accommodate a group of vacationers. Not only that, they wanted the hot tub to be set in the ground and appear to be connected and operating in conjunction with the existing pool.”
That is Best Hot Tubs specialty, adds Bill. Getting homeowners into the perfect hot tub for their needs — size, price, and, yes, quality.

Delivering a Large Spa

“Best Hot Tubs has great equipment to deliver spas,” adds Bill. “But even I worried a little about the sheer size and weight of this model. But everything worked just great. Our spa dolly got us to the yard.
From there we used PVC pipes and set the hot tub on them so it could slide easily across the new Cambridge patio and into its vault location without disrupting anything.”
The homeowners had given Bill a photo of how they wanted the custom installation to look.
“With this in hand I could work with Manorville-based Lupco Site Developers, the firm hired by the homeowners to do all the construction work.”
Spa Vaults
Spa Vault Under Construction/Westhampton, NY
A spa vault, says Bill, must be installed in such a way as to appear in-ground but also allow access for service technicians to get inside it for future maintenance. The vault was made of concrete blocks to coordinate with the pool. The base has 6” of crushed stone with concrete poured over it.
Vaults can be individually designed, depending on taste and style. The homeowner’s plan called for two sets of wrap-around steps, fitted on two sides of the spa, one set facing the pool and the set facing the house.
“This was a great idea. “It appears completely set in-ground from those two vantage points.”
Bill adds that he drew some sketches to help the homeowners and their contractor understand how a hot tub and vault work together.

Whether you set your spa in a vault or just place it on the ground, your portable spa is a vacation in itself.
