5 things to consider before buying a hot tub
1. Size & appearance
-How many people do you expect to have in your hot tub?
-How much room to you have where you plan to locate your hot tub? Check dimensions before ordering.
-What are the interior & exterior color options?
2. Comfort
- Check the comfort and depth of the seats compared to water level.
- Is the foot well big enough to be comfortable?
- Are there enough jets for you? Are they located in appropriate places? Do they have enough power and are they adjustable?
- Are you able to do a ‘wet test’ with the dealer?
3. Maintenance & reliability
-How easy will maintenance be on the hot tub?
-What is involved with water quality maintenance?
-How easy is it to keep filters clean?
-How easy is it to keep dirt/sand out of the bottom?
-How much work will it take to keep the exterior looking good?
4. Energy efficiency
-Energy is money, spend it wisely.
-A good insulated tub cover is an important factor for heat loss. Check the options available.
5. Price
-Prices range greatly. Often you get what you pay for. Check around and compare.
-Be careful with ‘bargain’ tubs.
-Be sure to check the warranty for time and coverage.
