The Complete Guide to Buying Your First Hot Tub

OUR HOT TUB BLOG

Buying a hot tub isn’t just about adding some fun and recreation to your life. You’re making a long-term investment in your health, well-being, and your home’s value. Many people who own hot tubs and use them regularly are more relaxed and have a better quality of life. Hot tubs are great in that they can be used year-round, indoors or outdoors, and are perfect for any number of people – from one person to an entire social gathering. They can even help with aches and pains and relax your muscles. But it is important to have your ducks in a row before you go to purchase a hot tub.

Where is Your Hot Tub Going and How Big Should It Be?

One of the first things to consider will be where your hot tub will go, and what size of hot tub you want to purchase. Will your hot tub be indoors? You will want to consider things such as structural support, drainage, and power. Another big consideration will be what surrounds the hot tub. You will want to be careful to avoid having too much moisture in an enclosed space in your house. Proper ventilation and insulating material for your hot tub are important as well. If your hot tub will be outdoors, you will want to research things like a foundation, shading, and power and water availability.

However large your current circle of hot tub addicts, you can count on your popularity growing once you have a wonderful spa installed. Something to take into consideration will be how many people you expect to be using the hot tub on a regular basis. A smaller hot tub will suffice for one or two people, while a larger hot tub may be necessary for families or large gatherings.

Why Are You Buying Your Hot Tub?

A big thing that may affect your decision is your purpose for buying a hot tub. Is it simply for recreation for you and your family? Or will it be used more for therapy for an illness, or relaxation? Different spas have different features for different purposes, and you will want to compare them all before you make a decision. Regardless of the anticipated purpose, an important thing to keep in mind when you are comparing models is the maintenance involved. Several cleaning and routine upkeep supplies will be needed. A hot tub is a long-term investment, which also means long-term care, and therefore a lot of additives, treatments, and other chemicals that will need to be purchased and stored.

Where Are You Purchasing Your Hot Tub?

Where you purchase your spa is almost as important as the other decisions you have to make before buying. The best place to buy a wonderful hot tub is a great dealer throughout California, and at Paradise Valley Spas we can help you find a trusted and reputable dealer in your area. Buying a spa from a dealer will get you all the expertise for installation and care of your hot tub, as well as a warranty for your hot tub, and easy access to supplies and chemicals. What you don’t want to do is buy from a traveling show or fair. These hot tubs are often off-brands that may not last as long or operate as reliably as a name-brand spa.
