What can be fancier than having a glass of wine on a weekend night? Probably the same thing, but you lounging inside a bubbly hot tub. For most, it’s a luxury, but having this installed can be your ticket to unwinding without stepping a foot out of your home.

Of course, you have to make sure what you’ll install is one of the best tubs your area has to offer, first.

Pandemic Cannot Stop Indoor Fun

The WHO encouraged #HealthAtHome with the pandemic still infecting people by the thousands. According to this article, the US has the 3rd most reported cases and deaths of the virus.

Instead of going to the beach and exposing yourself to risks, taking yourself relaxing here is not only comfortable but safe as well.

Your family can also join in, and as the winter months are coming in, it’s time to heat your hot tub for all of you to take a warm dip.  You can get it online from Whirlpool.

Characteristics to Look For

  • Budget

With many add-ons after purchasing your hot tub, it’s easy to overspend if you don’t have a set budget. Knowing how luxurious your tub will be and how many features you want to be installed will avoid a lot of omitted extra fees.

Another tip is to window shop before going to a physical store. That way, desirable features such as a built-in music stereo or those colorful LED lights are easy to dodge and refuse.

Choose the one that falls just in your range of budget. In other words, anything rising above it with the same features is most likely overpriced, and anything below it is a rip-off unless it’s a used one.

  • Placement

How vast your space is and how you intend to use it will also entail the placement. Some top rated hot tubs usually are somewhere between 7-8 feet long, so adding a margin of a few more feet would ensure safety.

You wouldn’t want your tub doesn’t graze against rough surfaces, right?

The surfaces it’ll be placed in or on should be flat and sturdy. It can be made of bricks and other durable materials.

However, the most important aspect is to ensure the land it stands on doesn’t sag or create a dent with or without people in the tub.

  • Type

You can choose your type of hot tub suited to your home’s landscape, or just select based on mobility. There are two varieties, either a built-in and above ground, and vary in feature and base materials.

The first difference between them is portability. While built-in increase your home’s overall price if you want to sell it, you can’t bring it with you if it turns out you get attached.

The above-ground is portable and can be moved by the deck, close to your house, and you can bring this one with you when you move out.

Next is the massaging options. Portable ones have more seating options, with a lot of options as to body size. It also has a lot of hot tub jets and configurations that a built-in one lacks.

Though a little warning before getting carried away by the massage option, staying submerged for too long may cause some unwanted conditions.

This site by the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/swimming/residential/disinfection-testing.html talks about the effects of chlorinated water for long periods.

Always check the pH concentration; it’s as crucial as your hot tub itself!

The last and probably the most impactful thing to consider is the materials used for the hot tub. While the above-ground type is usually acrylic and other non-abrasive materials, built-in ones are made of fiberglass and tiles.

Though it doesn’t matter a lot, it still depends on your preference as a user.

  • Energy-efficient

It’s a fancy addition, but owning a hot tub doesn’t have to be costly either. Most people say it leads to more significant electricity bills, but it’s most likely unused add-ons that bite a chunk of the consumption.

They are easy to maintain for a hot tub spa, and some even have a self-cleaning feature that’ll save you time and effort.

Usually, the larger the hot tub, the bigger its consumption, to consider who will use it and its purpose. You wouldn’t want an 8-seater type while living alone, even just for the elbow room. It’s still at your discretion, but we suggest you make the most of your hot tub experience without draining your pockets.
