What Features To Look For When Purchasing A Hot Tub
Mitchell Cox
Have you loved having a pool in your backyard this summer? Are you sad to close it when the winter weather comes? If so, you may want to get a hot tub for when the weather gets cooler. Here are some features to look for when purchasing a hot tub so that you can find the right one for you.
Size
You should start by thinking about what size hot tub you want for your home. Do you have a large family that will be enjoying the hot tub at the same time? Do you plan on entertaining and having guests over to use the hot tub, or will the hot tub just be used for you and your family members? What kind of space will you have to set up the hot tub? These questions can all help guide you toward the size that you need so that you are not buying a hot tub that is bigger than necessary.
Seating
Many people have something in mind when it comes to the seating inside a hot tub. For example, loungers can be a great way to relax while in a hot tub, but they limit the number of people that can comfortably fit inside at once. Keep this in mind when selecting a shell that has specific layouts for seating since it will be a trade-off between comfort and quantity of seating in the hot tub.
Jets
Jets are not just to make the water look cool as the water swirls around. Many jets are actually designed to provide massages and muscle relaxation while you are sitting inside the hot tub. Consider what kind of jets you want to have in your hot tub and if you need more advanced features that will turn your hot tub into a place to get a relaxing massage.
Shell
There are different materials used to create the shell of the hot tub. Vinyl is a popular choice due to its price, but you'll find that vinyl does a poor job at retaining heat. This can lead to more expensive operating costs over time, even though the initial cost is cheaper overall. Acrylic shells cost more money but provide many more benefits to the owner. You'll find that the heat is retained better, the color doesn't fade, and the material is much more durable to prevent problems over the years.
