The fall season is the perfect time to enjoy a hot tub out on your deck. It’s not too cold, but it also isn’t uncomfortably hot. Hot tubs, unlike swimming pools, can be used year-round. But how do you even go about shopping for a hot tub? What features and benefits should you be looking for? Our list should lead you in the right direction.

  1. Always measure the space where you think the hot tub will be installed. Proper dimensions are the most important step in making sure you choose a hot tub that will actually fit.
  2. Speak with your home insurance agent. There are rules and regulations regarding how close your hot tub should be to your house.
  3. Research jets and pumps. The more jets you have, the more powerful your pumps will need to be.
  4. The cover you choose for your hot tub should be very thick and sturdy. Many come with locks.
  5. Not only should you closely monitor your hot tub’s filtration system, but you should also consider buying two. This way you can easily rotate when one needs to be cleaned.
