Hot tubs come in a variety of sizes and with numerous features. To start, you’ll want to consider the space your hot tub will be installed in and how many people you want to accommodate. Then you can set a budget and look at features and materials.

  • Size: There are some standard hot tub sizes: 78” by 78”, 84” by 84” and 94” by 94”. The depth varies, depending on the model. Hot tubs can seat anywhere from two to seven or more people. There are compact, space-saving hot tubs available, too.
  • Shape: Hot tubs come in a variety of shapes. Rounded, oval, rectangular, square corner and rounded triangle options are available.
  • Features: Hot tubs have several customizable features. These include jets, advanced filtration, audio systems, cover lifts, entry steps, remote-controlled applications and lighting.
  • Materials: Hot tub shells are made of a variety of materials, including vinyl, rotomolded plastic and acrylic. Each material has different pros and cons when it comes to wear and tear, weight and heat retention.
  • Base: Wherever your hot tub is installed, it will need to be on a pad. The pad can be concrete, decking, bricks or patio blocks. Cement pads should be no less than 4” thick and the size of the hot tub at minimum.
