Hot Tub Check List

The design of the latest Hot Tubs and Jacuzzi style spas continues to evolve at quite a pace with manufacturers introducing more and more features and ideas in order to catch the public's imagination.

For example having a massage sequencer in your Hot Tub Jacuzzi will allow you to be able to control the placement of Jet Patterns, and their speed so that you can easily pinpoint the area of your body to massage. These massage systems can provide a stair step massage not unlike having your very own personal masseuse to direct which muscles and tendons to massage.

This type of feature is often known as a wave massage system and a seat, which has this feature, is designed to give a full massage to the shoulders, full back, thighs, calves and feet. This lounger seat will usually have many Jets often in excess of some fifty Jets to provide a pulsating wave massage which works its way down your body at one to two rows at a time moving from ones neck right down to ones toes. This lounger seat will probably have something like seven function programmable controls, which will provide seven massage patterns at various variable speeds over your body.

1. Do you want to use your spa just for hydrotherapy and hydro massage and to help relieve the stress and strain of life and provide that much needed solace or do you want to use it for fun and relaxation with your family or is it a combination of these two,

2. When you use the Hot Tub for the majority of the time, how many people will use it, for example, is it just for two or perhaps five to six or more? Obviously, this is a key question in deciding the model that you choose.

3. Will you entertain your friends and family and have guests round to enjoy and share use the spa and if you will, what is the maximum number you will have in your spa at one time?

4. What is the average size and height of the people who will use the Hot Tub are there big differences in height between the shortest and the tallest?

5. How often will the Hot Tub be used perhaps twice a day or just once every day or just two to three times a week?

6. What time during the day or evening will the Hot Tub be used. This will possibly be very different at a weekend or holiday season. ?

7. What approximate budget do you have and here it is good to have a price range so that you can consider a choice of two or three models. Remember of course that it is not just the purchasing the Hot Tub but there is also the cost of delivery and having it installed.

8. How much are you prepared to allow for actually running your spa on a weekly basis after it has been installed? You will need to allow for electricity for the pumps and heater but also there will be some spending on water treatment chemicals and that kind of thing,

9. How much time are you prepared to spend looking after the Hot Tub and keeping the water balance maintained correctly?

10. How much physical space do you have available for the Spa? Bear in mind that you will need to get access for servicing or maintenance.

11. What is the access like to get and place a Hot Tub in your chosen location?

12. Is there good and clear access to all sides of the Hot Tub at your intended position or will some sides be inaccessible, (next to a wall etc.) or will you wish to sink the Hot Tub into a decked area.

13. If you wish to place the Hot Tub on a roof terrace you need to consider as to whether the terrace is able to take the weight of a filled Jacuzzi and say four adults.

14. Is a crane needed to install the Hot Tub Jacuzzi perhaps on a roof terrace or over a house to get access to the back garden?
