Buyers Should Look For These 6 Features In Hot Tubs

About Me
Servicing a Beloved Appliance

After marrying my adorable husband over 13 years ago, I moved into a house he already lived in. Because I didn’t like the small, outdated refrigerator my spouse owned, I convinced him to buy a new one. After shopping at a few retailers, we purchased a gorgeous stainless steel refrigerator. Unfortunately, our refrigerator’s freezer started producing excessive amounts of ice not long after we bought our appliance. We immediately called a service technician to check out our problem. After only a few minutes of investigating the issue, this skilled technician identified our problem and quickly fixed it. On this blog, I hope you will discover the benefits of contacting a service technician immediately after noticing a malfunction with one of your appliances.

Buyers Should Look For These 6 Features In Hot Tubs

Folks looking at hot tubs can have a hard time distinguishing which features indicate quality. When you visit a hot tub store, it's wise to look at the following six features.

Capacity 

Consider the peak capacity the tub will ever require. Even if you don't entertain guests all the time, you'll probably want a tub that will allow it for special occasions. Look at the available hot tubs that offer a count that'll be comfortable for everyone. If you entertain a lot, you might even want some excess capacity in case someone brings a friend or two.

Materials

Acrylic is a popular choice because it retains heat well, making it a very efficient option. It is also durable, and that's important because holding people and water adds a lot of pressure on the structure. Fiberglass is an alternative if you want similar durability, although it sacrifices heat retention. Wood is another choice, but it requires lots of attention to keep it sealed and smooth. Concrete is a permanent solution, and that makes it less popular.

Most models use steel for the support beams. Some cheaper models may use less durable metals so ask the dealer for details.

Jets

You want a hot tub with jets that provide significant control. Find a demonstration model at the hot tub store. Check the strength of the jet with your hand at both the lowest and highest settings. Make sure you'll be comfortable with that level of intensity. Also, make sure the system provides fine control at every step of the adjustment process.

Plumbing and Filtration

Hot tubs require solid plumbing and robust filtering, especially for people who plan to use them frequently. Make sure the plumbing and filtration compartments are accessible. Even if you plan to pay a contractor to maintain the system, simplicity and accessibility make life easier for everyone.

Warranty 

Given the number of components that go into hot tubs, warranties matter more than they do with many other products. Also, anything that uses a lot of water has an inherent leaking risk. Make sure the warranty covers damages beyond the system, especially if you an indoor tub.

Easy of Use

Good hot tubs have quality control panels. Once more, the demonstration models at the hot tub store will be your friends. Fiddle with the panels. Try to find your way around them without using the manual. You want an interface that feels intuitive in the store because you don't want to look for the manual when you should be enjoying yourself.
