The Hot Tub Club guide
Find your kind of hot tub.
Choose the format that fits your space and plans. Then compare individual models using written specifications.
| Type | A reason to consider it | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Inflatable or portable spa | You want to explore a movable spa setup. | Operating temperature limits, permitted outdoor use, seating, care requirements, replacement parts and storage. |
| Compact hard-shell spa | You have a smaller household or a tighter footprint. | Real seating space, footwell, delivery access, cover clearance and equipment access. |
| Family hard-shell spa | You want a mix of seats for regular use at home. | Comfort at each seat, usable capacity, the required supply, insulation evidence and aftercare. |
| Swim spa | You want to explore swimming or exercise at home alongside spa seating. | Try the current yourself if possible. Confirm depth, swim area, delivery plan, structural support and electrical requirements. |
13 amp or 32 amp is not an efficiency rating
These describe electrical supply requirements or configurations, not a complete measure of quality. Whether heating and pumps operate together depends on the model. Compare the manual and independently supported energy data; do not infer running costs from amperage.
Build a shortlist you can check
- List your available space, preferred seats and overall project budget.
- Ask each retailer for the exact specification and installation manual.
- Compare written delivery and service arrangements as well as the purchase price.
