A hot tub isn’t a one-size-fits-all product. The different options and models available offer a variety of functions depending on your needs. When choosing a hot tub, you need to consider what you are going to use the hot tub for. Are you hoping to entertain friends and family? Do you want to enjoy the relaxing benefits of hydrotherapy? These are questions you need to ask yourself before you decide.
By putting your needs at the forefront of your search, you will maximize your investment based on the budget you have spent. Use this breakdown of the top 3 considerations when researching how to choose a hot tub.
Choosing the Right Hot Tub
Factor 1: Size & Seating
If you are looking for a place to entertain friends and family, size and seating will be a big consideration. When looking at hot tubs, remember that price doesn’t always equal the number of seats. We have large and small hot tubs across our 700, 500, and 300 series. So a smaller budget doesn’t mean you won’t be able to afford a larger tub.
Our hot tubs come in sizes that accommodate anywhere from 2 to 8 people. Also, we have the average size accommodating between 5 and 6 adults. Choosing the correct size for your needs is a vital part of your decision.
Factor 2: Advanced Jetting
If you are looking for more advanced jetting and if hydrotherapy is your number one priority, don’t just look at the quantity of jets. Make sure to research the placement, quality, and ability to customize. Before buying, ensure the model's jets have enough power to balance speed and airflow. This is key for effective deep tissue results.
With Beachcomber Hot Tubs, we offer a 30-day FlexJet™ exchange. However, if the jets you choose don’t suit your needs, you can swap them out for something better.
Factor 3: Enhanced Features
We recommend you make a list of “must-haves” vs. “nice-to-haves” when you’re comparing your budget to the models available. These lists will help you understand the options in the price range with your “must” amenities. This will also help you decide if extras like a lounger seat or built-in sound system are worth it for your needs. These are big decisions to make, so ensuring you have thought ahead will help.
Choosing the right hot tub is important, so be sure to research what is best for you. No matter whether it is a HYBRID4® or LEEP™, we have the hot tub of your dreams.
