Before you buy!

There are several important factors to consider when purchasing a Hot Tub. Here are a few of them:

• What type of Hot Tub should I buy? The first decision is whether you would like a Inflatable Hot Tub, In the Ground or permanent Hot Tub, Wood Frame Hot Tub or Swim Spa (combines a pool & a hot tub with jets you can swim against). This might also be a time to discuss your budget which will help you to choose 
• How much space do you have as well as access? You will need to decide on the size of the tub based on the space that you have. You will need to keep in mind that you will need a pad of some kind for a regular Hot Tub, you will also need electrical access and hose access at a minimum. One other factor is to consider access points for maintenance etc.
• What features would you like in your Hot Tub? Some people buy a hot tub for themselves & some people buy them for entertainment. The first decision here is how many seats would you like? Most hot tubs are 4-6 seats. Apart from this, you may specifically want a lounger, perhaps drink holders are a necessity for you, or strong massage jets for deep tissue massage. 
• How much should I pay? Hot Tubs vary in price from $5000 all the way up to around $20,000. For a average 4-6 person Hot Tub from a decent brand I would say that you are looking at spending between $9,000 and $13,000. 
• Delivery - How you will receive the Hot Tub is important to consider. Some companies will install and some will simply drop at the curb. Dropping at the curb is a popular way of delivery and from here it is easy to move with a dolly or hiring a crane to bring it to your pad. 
• What are some important features to note? There are many factors that are important when purchasing a tub. Things such as:

- Strength of Pumps

- Amount of Jets

- Warranty Information

- Support after purchase

- Ease of maintenance

Before you purchase, speak to the retailer about the above factors. This is a big decision and you will want to makre sure you tick all of the boxes before you go ahead.
