If your outdoor living space is missing that certain something to take it from boring to brilliant, a hot tub is just the ticket. It makes an amazing focal point for any garden and is the perfect way to relax after a long, hard day.
Before you jump on the Internet to start spa shopping, however, there are a few things you should keep in mind to ensure you take home a high-quality hot tub.
This to-do list will keep you on track in your quest for the perfect spa.
1. Set a Hot Tub Budget
Before any shopping begins — and that counts browsing on the Internet — it’s important to put a budget in place. This will keep you on track and prevent you from setting your heart on a spa that’s outside your price range.
We recommend setting an ideal price as well as a firm maximum price.
While the goal is to look at spas that fall in the range of your ideal price, having that financial cushion will allow you to add on extra features or accessories that you really want.
2. Take Stock of Your Space
This is another crucial step before starting to shop. Knowing where you’re going to install your spa and how much space you have to do so could impact what size and style of hot tubs you look at. If you have a large, wide-open deck or patio, then the sky’s the limit when it comes to the size and shape of your spa.
If you’re working in a smaller setting, however, it’s always a good idea to measure your space and then refer to the recorded dimensions once you begin shopping. This ensures you don’t waste your time looking at units that are too big.
3. Choose a Size for Your Spa
If you are dealing with a tight space, that alone will govern what hot tub size you can have.
If, however, space is not a factor, you can choose your spa size based on how many people will be using it on a regular basis. As much as you might like the look of a large spa, if you don’t have enough bottoms to fill the seats, then you’ll be paying to heat a much larger spa than you need for the next decade.
That’s why we recommend matching size to a number of users. Small to average-size families do well with four- to five-seat spas, while two-seaters are perfect for couples and singles. Large families and those who often host a lot of friends are best served by spas with six or more seats.
4. Think About Your Needs
What is your main motivation for purchasing a spa? Is it social? Relaxation? Pain relief? Once you know what’s important to you, you’re better able to match up spa features with what you want.
Jot down your wish list and take it with you once you start shopping. Along with your budget, space, and size requirements, your local dealership will have all of the information they need to help you find the perfect spa for your home.
