The day starts loading a 700-pound shell onto the trailer with the crew and double-checking the spider straps, because a dropped tub is a five-figure mistake. First stop is a delivery where the homeowner swore the gate was wide enough; it isn't, so we pull the fence section, walk the tub on its side down a board ramp, and set it on the cart for the turn around the AC condenser. Once it's on the pad we level it with shims, because a tub out of level stresses the shell and the jets pull air. We bond the cabinet, set the disconnect within sight of the spa, and wait on the electrician to land the 50-amp GFCI - that handoff is half the job's friction. Afternoon is a service call: a tub that won't heat. It's an airlock in the pump, cleared by cracking the union and bleeding it, plus a flow switch crusted with scale. We fill, prime, start the heater, and balance the water so the customer doesn't call back Saturday about foam. Last hour is invoicing the morning install, ordering a replacement cover lifter, and texting tomorrow's two customers to confirm gate access and that someone will be home for the walkthrough.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a hot tub installer's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a hot tub installer — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
