Hot Tubs: Types And Designs To Consider

When it comes to hot tubs, there are a number of options on the market, many of them ideal choices for the home. There are two hot tub types, basically, to select from self contained and non-self contained. As you consider which is right for your particular needs, keep in mind that some are more costly investments than others are. The one you select should have a basis on your budget, but also your long-term goals for the spa.

The most common are the self-contained hot tubs. These come in two main hot tub designs, the portable spa or the hot tub. With the hot tubs, you have the heating, electrical and the filtration system included in the exterior components of the device. There is likely a cabinet where these are located. You can place them above ground. On the other hand, you can build a deck around them for a sunken look. They should not be positioned into the ground directly.

The other option you have in hot tub types is the non self-contained spa. These are permanent options and they do fit directly into the ground. Most of the equipment (heating, filtration and electrical systems) are located away from the spa, such as under a deck or out of the way. This particular type of option is better if you hoping to remain in the home long term.

Hot tub designs like these can be good options for most people, but it is important to consider the long-term implications of investing in them. If you are unsure which is best for you, compare the features of both before making a decision.
