What should I consider when buying a hot tub?

Buying a hot tub often involves more than you think. It's an investment you want to enjoy for years, so it's important to pay close attention to a few things.

Material
Opt for durable materials that are resistant to weather and use. Thermowood or Red Cedar are popular choices for the tub and conversion, and stainless steel or glass filters for the filter.

Heating
Consider how you want to heat the hot tub. If you want hot water quickly and flexibility, an electric or hybrid hot tub is useful. If you like being outside and heating yourself, a wood-fired variant is ideal.

Maintenance
You need to be able to keep a hot tub clean. See if a filter system is available and how easy it is to maintain. This keeps the water clean and healthy.

Comfort
Pay attention to ergonomics: do you want a round tub, an oval seat or a deeper seat? Also consider extras such as bubbles, lighting or an insulating cover.

Placement and size
Consider how much space you have in the garden and how many people you want to use the hot tub with. This prevents the hot tub from being too small or too big.

Accessories
Extras such as a staircase, cover or bubble system make it more comfortable to use.
