Hot tubs are a fun and exciting way to experience your outdoor space like never before.
With so many different brands and types on the market it can be hard to know where to start with your search, however.
Follow this simple guide to the 4 key steps in narrowing your search and identifying your dream home spa today.
1. Establish what you are looking for
Hot tubs come in all shapes and sizes and before you can find the perfect product it is important to narrow down exactly what it is you looking for.
The benefits of hot tub usage are widespread and varied.
A high-quality hot tub, for example, can be a fantastic way to improve your physical wellbeing.
Some of the main health benefits of a hot tub include:
- Improving range of motion
- Increasing joint flexibility
- Burning calories
- Improving sleep quality
- Reducing headaches
The mental health benefits of unwinding in a hot tub are just as extensive, as feeling better physically can help to reduce anxiety, tackle depression, and build self-confidence.
A larger hot tub with room for a number of individuals can also become a social hub, helping to bring together family and friends, build relationships and promote open conversations.
Once you have decided upon which of these many different advantages of owning a hot tub are most important to you, you will be able to fine-tune your search and secure your new tub in no time at all.
2. Choose the right brand
There are an almost unlimited number of options when it comes to choosing a hot tub with many different brands offering massive ranges of spas that vary in size, price, and features.
When choosing the company to purchase your hot tub from, these are a few important points to consider:
Reviews
Reviews are the easiest way to get an idea of a brand’s reputation and gain some peace of mind that you are purchasing a quality product.
Make sure to read both the positive and negative reviews and stick to verified buyer reviews only.
Options Available
The ability to customise and create bespoke hot tubs, choosing from a number of different designs and additional features is hugely attractive as this allows you to end up with the perfect final product.
Look for a brand that offers an extensive range of features with their hot tubs such as massage jets, aromatherapy, Bluetooth speaker systems, LED lighting, and more.
Energy efficiency
Flashing lights and massage jets are fabulous, but much less enjoyable if they come attached to an extremely large energy bill.
Poorly insulated hot tubs can be dreadful for leaking heat, taking longer to heat the water within the tub to your desired temperature and requiring much more energy to keep it there.
Always check that the brand of hot tub you choose offers excellent energy efficiency ratings, can be equipped with an energy saving cover, and is fitted with full foam insulation.
3. Choose a location
The type and size of the hot tubs you are able to choose from will be defined by the location you want the spa installed in.
In general, most people choose to have freestanding tubs installed on a patio or decking although so types can also be installed fully or partially in ground.
By taking the measurements of your chosen spot, you will be able to filter your search to those exact parameters.
Allow some additional space in these calculations for steps or maintenance access if required.
To give you a general idea of the sort of space that will be required, hot tubs tend to vary between 7’-8’ feet in length and width.
As well as the technical practicalities of choosing a location for your hot tub, remember that this is going to be a space for relaxation and enjoyment.
Choose a spot with the best views possible, in a private spot that cannot be seen by neighbours if possible.
Consider whether additional garden furniture can be placed nearby to accommodate a larger number of people when entertaining, allowing your hot tub to become the focal point of social occasions.
4. Choose your Features
The features that you choose when designing a bespoke hot tub are key to making it your own.
Some of the most popular features available in modern Hot Tubs for sale Glasgow include:
