Reviews

Reviews can be very helpful, but they can also be a little confusing, one reason for this is that people like to write about a complaint in a review, but very rarely will they write a positive review unless they have had an exceptional experience with their purchase, so take a bit of time to look into the review properly, gauge the company by how long it has been in business and how many hot tubs it has sold, but don't rely on reviews too much.

Your Preferences

You probably have a long list of preferences and various gadgets that you want your hot tub to have incorporated in it, most of these are fitted as standard with the better hot tubs, but remember, the more you have, the more there is to go wrong if you opt for a cheaper hot tub, there are also a lot of seating options to consider

Trade Organisations

Although trade organisations seem like a good idea to get the best you can from your purchase, this is not always the case so be careful not to fall into the trade organisation trap, most of the companies you would find on there would have paid for the privilege of being there in the first place.

The Little Extras

There are a few little extras that you can purchase with your hot tub so take some time comparing what is extra and what is included in the sale, before parting with your very hard earned money.

Delivery And Installation

Some companies will only offer delivery for their hot tubs, but be aware that hot tubs are not small, and they are definitely not easy to manoeuvre into position, Even a small hot tub can weigh at least 150 kg's, with a 7 seater weighing as much as 480 kg's, installation may be something that you would benefit from or be interested in as not all companies give you that option, where some may even include it as part of the sale, this option is definitely worth thinking about though.

Cover Lifter

A cover lifter is definitely worth thinking about as the hot tubs insulated cover is a large and cumbersome item that is not very easy to handle without a lifter.                  

Hot Tub Steps

The Hot Tub steps are also a very important addition to your hot tub and they make it so much easier to get into the water from the ground level, If you have plenty of space you might decide to not have steps but have a raised decking area around the hot tub instead, please remember to leave access to the service panel for regular maintenance.

Hot Tub Chemicals

Hot tub chemicals are an essential part of your hot tubs maintenance programme and are very important to reduce any risks of bacteria forming in the water, you will need to stick to regular testing and a chemical balance of the water in your hot tub, to keep it clean and fresh.

Hot Tub Safety

Most importantly, the safety of both you, your family and your friends when using your hot tub is very important, so stay safe and enjoy your new hot tub.
