Does Your Hot Tub Retailer Have An ETL Certificate accompanying each and every hot tub they sell? No big deal if they don’t, right? You Couldn’t Be More Wrong!!!!!

We have mentioned on several occasions some of the unethical practices that many hot tub retailers employ, due to the fact the industry is unregulated. Nothing is more important for you as a consumer than to ensure the hot tub you are thinking about purchasing is ETL Certified. 

What Does an ETL Certificate Mean?

Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) certification is OSHA’S nationally recognized testing program that is now a crucial safety standard for the hot tub indusrty, ensuring that these products meet rigorous safety requirements. It acts as a safeguard for consumers, providing assurance that the hot tub they purchase is designed and manufactured to prevent hazards. 

Here's a breakdown of the specific safety aspects covered by ETL certification:

Electrical Safety: ETL certification verifies that the hot tub's electrical components, including wiring, controls, and heating elements, are designed and manufactured to prevent electrical shocks or fires. This ensures that users can enjoy their hot tubs without the risk of electrocution or electrical malfunctions.

Structural Integrity: The certification process evaluates the structural soundness of the hot tub, including its frame, shell, and components. This ensures that the tub can withstand normal use and pressure without failing, reducing the risk of injuries or damage.

Water Quality: ETL certification also addresses water quality standards. It ensures that the hot tub's filtration system is effective in removing contaminants and maintaining clean, safe water. This is crucial for preventing health issues and ensuring a comfortable bathing experience.

By choosing an ETL-certified hot tub, consumers can have peace of mind knowing that they are investing in a product that meets the highest safety standards. We should mention it’s not cheap to get an ETL Certification but we at ilovehottubs spare no expense when it comes to safety first, quality and price of the best-in-class hot tub available in today’s marketplace.  Can you imagine spending all that money on a hot tub that doesn’t have an ETL Certification, then you discover your tub has electrical flaws that could cause a serious if not deadly accident? We have gone to several hot tub trade shows and when we asked about their ETL Certifications, they simply looked at us and asked, what am I talking about, or you don’t need that anymore!  We say that salespeople and a vast majority of retailers will lie through their teeth just to get a sale, never caring once about their customers’ needs or safety concerns.  

MAKE SURE YOUR HOT TUB IS ETL CERTIFIED AND ASK YOUR DEALER FOR A COPY OF THE CERTIFICATION. DO NOT BUY A HOT TUB WITHOUT A PROPER, UP-TO DATE, ETL CERTIFICATION!
