What Size Hot Tub Should I Buy? 3 Things To Consider
If you’re ready to add some relaxation to your life, you need look no further than a hot tub! Once you’ve decided to live the hot tub lifestyle, it’s time to choose which spa is right for you.
One of the most important features is the size and choosing which size to buy hinges on a few key factors. Keep reading to learn more!
1. How much space you have
If space is limited or you have a particular area where the hot tub must be installed, that will determine the size of the spa you can purchase. Measure your space carefully and ensure it matches up with the dimensions of the units you are considering.
If you are uncertain of which hot tubs will work in the space, consult an expert at a reputable spa dealership. He or she will be able to explain your size and style options.
2. Number of users
If space is not an issue, however, the top consideration will be how many people you need to accommodate. If it is just for you and your partner, then looking at 2-person hot tubs is likely the way to go.
A 4-person hot tub is ideal if you want more space to stretch out or plan to occasionally invite a few friends to join you. If you have a large family or plan to invite friends over on a regular basis to enjoy your spa, then a 6-person hot tub or larger will be necessary to meet your needs.
Larger hot tubs are also great if you plan to use it for physiotherapy or underwater exercising and stretching.
3. Your height
If you are above or below average height, choosing the right hot tub is vital to your relaxation and enjoyment. Spa seats are usually designed with an average-sized person in mind.
Most hot tubs have a depth of at least 31 inches which, if you are significantly below average height, could force you to sit on the edge of the seat or, even worse, on your knees to keep your head above the water.
If you are very tall, you could find yourself with insufficient leg room or the inability to keep your shoulders submerged without hunching down below the water line. Test the spa before you buy it to avoid any of these scenarios. Most reputable spa dealerships will let you try out a hot tub before purchase, especially to oblige someone with specific needs.
When taking a hot tub for a test drive, take note if the seats are comfortable and the jets are situated to accommodate your height. In general, smaller hot tubs will better accommodate someone below average height while large spas work well for someone who is well above average height.
