How many questions run through your mind when you are about to splurge on that sports car you've always wanted? The engine, brakes, suspension and performance are just some of the aspects that concern you. So why should it be any different when you're talking about hot tubs? The problem is that unlike cars, people don't really know too much about spas and Jacuzzis. This article is meant to provide all the right information to first time buyers and hopefully help you on the way to making a good investment that you will enjoy for years to come. Usage Are you a large family that loves spending time together or a couple looking for a spot to unwind? Choosing a model that caters to your exact needs can help you save on space, cash and power bills. The bigger the hot tub the more expensive it will be. The most popular hot tubs can usually seat around 4 adults and it is best to consult with a professional about the size of the tub depending on the available space and your other requirements. Always consider a spa with locking cover and control panel to keep out small children. Consider safety rails and non-slip steps as well to maximize your family's safety. Just as you would test drive any car you are interested in, make sure that you can 'wet-test' the model that catches your eye. This way, you can find out exactly how comfortable and flexible the seating is, how well positioned the jets are and how well it suits your purposes overall. Performance One of the most important things to look at is the set of features the tub offers. Paying attention to the type and placements of the jets is important, especially if you have specific hydrotherapy requirements. One well positioned jet is better than multiple useless ones targeting areas you don't really need targeted. So find out if the jets are adjustable both for position and pressure, and also which jets will be most conducive to your needs. Reliability The difference between quality hot tubs and those of dubious origin can be hundreds of dollars in maintenance and repair expenses, so don't hesitate to buy the best possible brand available. Also insist that the dealer or manufacturer offers a warranty on the product and provides after sales support as well. Make sure that you purchase a model that is uncomplicated to use and maintain. Find out about the filtration system and insist on a model with a top of the line filter as this can cut down your maintenance costs in the long run and keep the tub ready for use at all times. The energy consumption of the unit is important as it is a recurring cost throughout the time of ownership. Ask the dealer about this and purchase only the models that use power efficiently. Research as many hot tubs as possible and get all the required information before laying down your hard earned money. Best of luck with your purchase and happy hot tub soaking!
