Hot Tubs...A Range Of Prices And Models


There are many options available when shopping for a hot tub, a range of styles and prices await.  The first step is to do your research, what type of spa is right for you?   There are inground models, portable models, and inflatable models, to name a few.  The inground models  represent the most costly in hot tub prices, as they involve excavation on the site, and special wiring and plumbing.  The typical 6 person model may cost upwards of $7,000. installed.

The most popular model of hot tubs is the portable spa.  Although their name suggests that they can be moved around, this is not really the case.  These spas require a solid footing, made of concrete, or some similar material, to be set on.  Many portable spas, such as the popular thermospa, can be purchased at great sale prices, and do not cost very much to install, sometimes only requiring special wiring.  Thanks to special factory direct offers, and seasonal sales and deals, these spas are often available at discount prices starting at about $2,500.  Many models, including the eclipse and seaspray, offer great package deals, in addition to their multi-jet units, they include specialty lights, custom style cabinets, and an assortment of covers to match any decor.

The inflatable spa is the least expensive, and the least durable of all the models available to buyers.  These hot tubs can be purchased for about under $2,000.  Although these models can be easliy stored when not in use, the drawbacks include the variablility of temperature controls, and the less attractive appearance compared to higher-priced models.

When shopping for a hot tub, there are many considerations, from quality, to investment, to the level of use.  Once you have determined what you want in a spa, the area you are willing to dedicate in your home, and the price you have in mind, it is time to look at the reviews.  These will often give you solid feedback from consumers who have purchased the very models your are considering.  From the space you want it to occupy, to the number of jets, these reviews will help you make your final decision.

Teaching him how to swim at an early age using the Jacuzzi… why didn't I think of that? I have heard that if you hold them up close and blow into their faces, that this will cause them to take a breath. Then this is when you dunk them under the water and they learn to hold their breath like that.

Rub a dub dub in my hot tub! I am teaching my newborn angel baby boy how to swim by using our hot tub. He really loves the warm water but he has a tendency to pee soon after he gets in.

Well, we went right for the top of the line six person hot tub. We like to call it a Jacuzzi because it is so big. My mom calls it a sauna when she comes over to take a soak… I guess that is an old school term.

My husband and I bought an inflatable hot tub last year. We loved the experience so much that we just purchased a really nice jacuzzi that sets on the back porch... this is the life! And we sold our old tub on ebay for a nice price.
