Three things to consider when installing your hot tub

Share This Post

LKR052527As the weather starts to get cold, buying a new hot tub sounds more and more appealing. Here are three things to consider when installing your hot tub including location, cost and maintenance.

1. Price: Smaller two-person, lower-end hot tubs start at $2,000, while mid-tier spas begin at $5,000 and high-end luxury spas start at $13,000, according to Bullfrog Spas. The number of features, insulation, materials and jet technology all affect the price. Remember that while a hot tub may be cheap to purchase, if it isn’t insulated well, you’ll lose out on your energy bills to heat it.

Maintenance and chemical costs can also add up. With a chlorine-free system you won’t have the hassle and costs associated with bromine or chlorine, and, more importantly, you will have a healthier, more enjoyable experience.

2. Location: Think about where you want your hot tub installed and how you want to enter it. Opting for in-ground installation or installing it in a deck will provide easier access. If you are choosing above ground installation, choose an area that is level and offers privacy. Proximity to the indoors may also matter, especially if you’re in a very cold climate.

3. Sanitation and maintenance: You have several options for hot tub water treatment, ranging from ozone to UV to traditional bromine or chlorine. Each of these require chlorine or bromine for residual sanitation, but today there is another solution. Choose a chlorine- or bromine-free solution so you can enjoy soaking in water without harmful chemicals and disinfection byproducts.
