A hot tub is a comfortable place to relax and even exercise and can be an exciting addition to your home. There is a wide range of models available, as well as custom-built options. Here’s what you should keep in mind when making your choice.

How to Pick a Hot Tub

1. Size

Before you can pick a hot tub, you need a place to put it. You can install one indoors or outdoors. Measure the space available so you know the exact dimensions you can accommodate. Once you have this information, think about who will be using the hot tub. For example, you might want to have an occasional soak with your partner, or you might want to host groups of friends. The more people will be using the spa, the larger it needs to be.

2. Features

Consider how you want to use your hot tub. If you want it for health reasons or exercise, consider one with built-in exercise equipment. For water jet massage, look at the seating options in the hot tub, where jets are placed, and how many settings and options the tub has. Some even have separate controls for each set of jets. For entertaining friends and family, look for a tub with plenty of individual seats or bench space, and even convenient features like cup holders.

3. Aesthetics

Hot tubs come in a variety of materials, colors, and designs. Some have an attractive wooden facade, while others are made of smooth, molded fiberglass. You can even have custom in-ground spas built out of concrete, tile, or stone. Wood and stone produce a rustic look even with this very modern amenity, while fiberglass is often sleek and minimalist. Which is right for your home depends on your architecture and landscaping.
