Top 5 reasons Why People Want to Get Rid of Their Old Hot Tub

I have removed hundreds of spas, portable hot tubs and in-ground Jacuzzis and most of the time I ask each customer why they are getting rid of it. Below is my personal calculation of the top 5 reasons why people want to get rid of their spa:

1. Spa is rarely or never used - like a boat, you think you are going to use it a lot and some never do.

2. Unit doesn't work anymore - spa owners get tired of spending the money on replacing parts that go bad.
A. Motor has failed
B. Unit leaks
C. Digital and manual controls don't work anymore

3. Spa owner wants more room in their backyard - a lot of time it is a new home owner and they have kids and simply need more room for them to play.

4. Spa owner does't want to keep spending the time and money with the upkeep.

5. House is being put up as a rental and the home owner and/or management company doesn't want the liability.

If you live in California and are ready to have your spa removed, feel free to contact me about pricing and scheduling.

Hauling Hot Tubs in Ventura County. Moorpark, Oxnard, Ventura and Camarillo all in a days work!

What a nice day it was in Ventura County today. Sunny and warm in November. We removed 2 hot tubs and delivered another. As a courtesy we hauled away a pile of unwanted items from our last customer's house. Since we are already going to the dump on many occasions we often offer to haul away miscellaneous items that people simply don't want. One of them being an OLD, WORN OUT HOT TUB!

The first job in Moorpark we emptied out the water and removed all electrical conduit to the breaker box. It was ugly and unneeded so the customer agreed it should go. We left the breaker box on the patio wall for future use, but removed about 10 feet of conduit.

Spa/Hot Tub and Gazebo Removal in Chino Hills, CA

This job went great! I removed a Cal Spas Hot Tub, gazebo, chairs and table in Chino Hills, CA. It was a rental property and the customer was not home, but we accept credit cards so it worked out perfect. I sent her pictures right afterwards so she could see the completed job.


















I ended up cutting the hot tub and gazebo up and taking it to the Brea landfill. It was originally craned in so no hope in dollying it out.


















All gone and clean! The customer was happy.

Hot Tub Injuries on the Rise

Non-fatal Spa-Related Injuries Increased by 160% From 1990 to 2007
By Caroline Wilbert

WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDNov. 5, 2009 -- Relaxing in a backyard hot tub may be fun, but potential dangers lurk. A new study shows that as the popularity of hot tubs has increased, so has the number of injuries.

Researchers analyzed emergency room records from 1990 until 2007. During that period, the number of nonfatal hot tub, whirlpool, and spa-related injuries increased by 160%, from about 2,500 in 1990 to more than 6,600 in 2007.

Most injuries happened to people who were aged 17 and older, though some of the serious injuries, including near-drownings, were more likely to involve young children. Overall, the most common injury was a laceration. Body parts most affected were the lower extremities and the head. The most common ways people injured themselves were through slips and falls.

"Although some steps have been taken to make hot tubs safer, increased prevention efforts are needed," study author Lara McKenzie, principal investigator at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital and a faculty member of The Ohio State University College of Medicine, said in a written statement.

In their conclusion, study authors called for more research into what is causing the injuries. They also encouraged people to follow safety precautions, including:

- Put slip-resistant surfacing in and around the hot tub.

- Limit time and temperature of hot tub exposure to 10 to 15 minutes at no more than 104° F.

- Comply with suction cover standards.

- Parents should keep hot tubs covered and locked when not in use, consider installing a fence or barrier around the area, and set rules prohibiting jumping and diving.

Spa, Hot Tub and Jacuzzi Removal Cost

What can you expect to pay for having your hot tub or spa professionally removed and disposed of?

 - About $350 - $450 (for an average above ground spa)
 - About $450 - $600+ (for inground spas with separate pump and heating equipment) 

A professional spa removal company's main cost factors are fuel, labor, specialty tools/equipment and DUMP FEES. Spas are considered "hard to handle" items at the dump and can really add up.

  If a "junk hauler" or "spa removal guy" offers you a removal
for less that $250 you might want to verify the following:

• Is your spa being disposed of legally?
• Does he have adequate experience?
• Is he licensed and insured?
• Is the electrical connection being safely and professionally disconnected?

How to Properly Dispose of Your Old Spa or Hot Tub

For those of you who have an old hot tub, spa or Jacuzzi and are thinking about getting rid of it here is a little useful information:

1. Is your spa in good enough condition to sell?
Spas tend to decay within a few years if in the sun. They are also rodent magnets. If your spa is working, clean and not infested with rats you may want to consider selling it or giving it away.

2. How do I dispose of such a large item myself?
It can be taken to your local landfill if you have strong friends and a truck and trailer. Spas are very heavy and dangerous to move. If you try to do it yourself you need a large and strong dolly and a level and clear pathway. The most important aspect of a removal is to have the electrical connection professionally disconnected.

3. Will my city come pick it up at the street?
Unfortunately most cities do not offer pickup or recycling services, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
