Buying a hot tub

Match it to how you’ll use it. Two to three seats suit couples, five to seven suit families and entertaining. Think about your space, lounge vs. open seating and how many people soak at once. We’ll help you compare in the showroom.

Ask where it will go, who will use it, how often and what you want from it (relaxation, therapy, family time). If you’d use it a few times a week, it’s usually worth it.

Most customers are soaking within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on site prep and electrical. We plan both with you up front.

Yes. Monthly payment options are available, subject to credit approval. See financing or ask in the showroom.

Care and maintenance

Test the water two to three times a week, rinse the filter every two weeks, wipe the waterline monthly and drain and clean every three to four months.

Every three to four months for most owners. Heavy use or hard water may mean more often.

Rinse it with a hose every two weeks, deep clean it monthly with filter cleaner and replace it about once a year.

For many owners, yes. Regular service keeps water safe, catches small problems early and protects your warranty. See hot tub service.

Wellness

Hydrotherapy uses warm water, buoyancy and jet massage to relax muscles, ease sore joints and reduce stress. Learn more on our health benefits page.

Most people soak 15 to 30 minutes at up to 104°F. Start shorter, stay hydrated and talk to your doctor if you’re pregnant or have a health condition.
