How to Choose The Right Hot Tub

Hot tubs come in various forms, and which one is right for you will come down to a few aspects. Your,

  • Budget
  • Needs
  • Lifestyle
  • Property size

1. Your Budget

The price of a hot tub can vary, ranging from a few thousand to over $25,000. This variance is generally caused by the features included in the base model, its size, and the quality of materials it’s made of.

Before you begin considering the model you want, it’s important to consider the price range you’d like to stay within.

The great news is there are ways for you to get exactly what you want in a hot tub without needing to compromise in order to stick to your budget.

Take A Break Spas & Billiards offers financing for their hot tubs through Wells Fargo. This can make affording your dream hot tub much easier, ensuring you dont have to sacrifice the features you need your hot tub to have.

2. Your Needs

Hot tubs offer many benefits, ranging from health and wellness to lifestyle. While many of these benefits can be experienced from any hot tub, certain needs will require specific jet configurations or seat styles to be met.

For example, if you suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome, you’ll want to find a model with jets that target your wrists and hands to give you long-lasting pain relief.

On the other hand, if you work a highly taxing job that leaves your entire body aching, you might want a hot tub with an ergonomic lounger that can provide a full-body deep tissue massage, treating your sore muscles from neck to toe.

3. Your Lifestyle

Your lifestyle can have a significant influence over which hot tub would be best suited for you, especially when it comes to the size of the hot tub you’d like.

For example, if you have a large family or love hosting and want to share your new hot tub with your favorite people, a larger hot tub would best match your lifestyle.

On the other hand, if you live a busy life and enjoy unwinding and enjoying some solo time to recharge after you get home, a smaller three-person hot tub would be perfect for you.

4. The Size of Your Property

Above everything else, your backyard will have the most influence over which hot tub is within your range of options.

With spas coming in such a wide variety of sizes, not every one will be the perfect fit for your backyard.

No matter how much you love throwing festive gatherings for your family and friends, if you have a small backyard, a large eight-person hot tub wouldn’t be a good fit for your space.

The last thing you want is to have your backyard feeling cramped and unusable.

Before you start considering the various hot tub models, measure your yard and determine which sized hot tub would be best suited to compliment your backyard space.

The Best Hot Tubs For Your Lifestyle

The size of your hot tub is an important factor that will likely be at the top of your list of “must-haves.”

How Can I Be Sure That I’ve Chosen the Right Hot Tub?

A hot tub is an investment, and you should be completely confident in your choice before it ever ends up on your doorstep.

While doing your research, exploring your options in person, and having a professional help you find your ideal spa can go a long way, there’s really only one way to be one hundred percent certain you’re going to love the model you’ve chosen.

By trying it!

There’s no better way to ensure your hot tub has the perfect jet configurations to target your aching muscles or that it’s comfortable to be in than by actually going for a soak.

That’s why you should always ensure you get to enjoy a wet test in your chosen spa before buying.

Scheduling a private wet test will let you get an immersive experience in your potential spa without requiring you to buy it first. If you can’t do this at the dealership you’re working with, you’ll want to start looking for another one!
