Now it’s time to decide the right hot tub for your needs, expectations and budget. Our primary goal has always been to simplify the buying process for our customers. We recognise that the hot tub market has become saturated with options and identifying the best model for you can be a challenge – particularly if this is your first time dipping your toes in the water.

When we set out to create the collections available on our website, we wanted to build collections that allow you to fully understand each one’s specifications without being confused by industry jargon or unnecessary add-ons. The hot tub you eventually decide on needs to help you achieve your goals – whether that be athletic recovery or leisure – without breaking the bank or over-accessorising in unwanted areas.

Our tips for choosing the right hot tub

Buying a hot tub is a significant, financial investment so you want to make sure you’ve done all the research beforehand. Follow these few simple tips to lead you to yours:

Above or below deck

There are two ways to install a hot tub – above the ground or below the ground, integrated into its surrounding area. Above-the-ground hot tubs are less expensive to install but need to be made from materials with the durability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Below-the- ground tubs are preferable if you’re looking to optimise access due to their low profile. However, due to more extensive installation needs, they do cost more to fit and may raise challenges for maintenance access in the future.

Hot tub size

Choosing the right size hot tub matters for numerous reasons. Firstly, you need to understand the space available for the tub once it’s installed. Consider access for maintenance and any additional details you may want to add in the future. You will also need to consider how many people will use the hot tub at any given time. Hot tubs come in a wide variety of sizes, accommodating for two up to 10+ people.

Additional features

Many hot tub suppliers recommend add-ons and accessories which quickly become surplus to requirement. Not everyone needs an in-built television or excessive water features to enjoy their spa fully. Some of these additions come with hefty price tags so it pays to get down to the nitty-gritty of which add-ons you will use and which you won’t. Things such as adjustable jets may be suitable for multi-person use while therapy seats will improve athletic recovery if that is your goal.

Budget

Any large investment decision should be made with a budget in mind. Hot tubs can range in price considerably. You also need to consider ongoing maintenance costs and the offset that a comprehensive warranty will offer. Plus, the cost of cleaning products and equipment.
