When choosing a Hot Tub I wonder why it is that the very latest American and European Hot Tub and Jacuzzi style Spa manufacturers make lots of different models in all sizes, designs and specifications. I suppose it is because we are all different and they cannot just simply make just one model that would suit everyone.

Apart from people, being of various different sizes and heights their individual lifestyles will also vary considerably. Before you go to the Hot Tub retailer, you should take a few moments to think about why you want to buy a Hot Tub spa and what it is that you want get from it.

Consider these questions carefully and then write down your answers so that you have a profile to take with you to the Hot Tub retailer.

1. Will you use your spa for hydrotherapy and hydro massage to help with aches and pains or is it for enjoyment and spending quality time with your Family or do you want it for relaxation or perhaps it is a combination of all of these,?

2. In average, when the Hot Tub is in use, how many people will use it?

3. Will you have many guests that will come round to use the spa and if you do, what then is the maximum number you will have in your spa at one time?

4. How tall are the people who will use the Hot Tub and are there big differences in height between the tallest and shortest?

5. Will it be in use every day or just once or twice through out the week?

6. What time during the day or evening do you think you will actually use the Hot Tub?

7. How much can you budget on purchasing the spa and having it installed?

8. What is going t be the the running cost and how does this compare with your budget for when it has been installed?

9. How much time are you prepared to commit to looking after the Spa and keeping it maintained correctly?

10. How much actual space do you have available for the location of the Spa?

11. Is there good access to get a spa to your chosen area?

12. Is there free access to all sides of the spa at your intended location or will some sides be inaccessible, (next to a wall etc.)?

13 Is a crane required to install the Jacuzzi Style Hot Tub?

14. Is the proposed location able to bear the required weight of the Hot Tub when filled with water and people?

Now you have taken the time to answer these questions you are well on your way to having created a Hot Tub Profile, which will assist you and your dealer in making the correct choice for your specific needs.

Like all things, it is very sound advice to buy from a long established Manufacturer and not a cheap eastern import.
