A consumer who is in the market looking for a hot tub must decide whether they would like to purchase an in-ground or portable tub. The following post highlights some of the major considerations in purchasing either.
Hot Tub Tip 1 - In-ground
An in-ground tub can rest idle or be attached to a pool. There is not a lot of options with its location, once it is in, it is permanent. The tub can be molded of concrete or a material matching that of a connected pool.
The heater, jets, filter, and pumps associated with the in-ground tub can be more powerful than that of a portable tub because its connection to an adjoining pool. The necessary equipment most likely will be out of view (being underneath, enclosed in a remote unit, or built within the tub itself), so the sounds of operation can be less audible.
There is a trade - the hot tub can be more powerful - but the energy bill may be as well.
Hot Tub Tip 2 - Portable tub
A portable hot tub grants its owner more choices in regards to location. The location does need to be sturdy in order to hold the weight of the tub and occupants. Portable hot tubs come in many sizes ranging from two-person tubs to those that can fit up to ten people.
The pump, filter, and heater are smaller for a portable tub in comparison to an in-ground hot tub. Portable tubs are usually made of fiberglass or acrylic material. This enables options in regards to shapes and colors.
Though a portable tub is free standing, its owner can really create an ambiance around their hot tub. Many hot tub accessories are available for a portable tub. Hot weather can be avoided by a spa sun umbrella; patio benches or a spa bar can decorate the perimeter of the tub; or, spa steps can be instituted to ensure safe entry and exit into the hot tub.
