Your Shopping Guide For Hot Tubs & Home Spas, Covers, Heaters and Accessories

Make Your Spa More Enjoyable and Attractive with Hot Tub Accessories

There is an amazing array of hot tub accessories available for the home spa buyer, and it can be quite confusing to decide which accessories are important for you to have and which are not necessary for you to fully enjoy your spa. Most brick-and-mortar dealers selling hot tubs and home spas offer at least some accessory items. Others, such as custom surrounds, enclosures and gazebos may have to be ordered from an online merchant.

Some home spa accessories should be considered as just that, accessories. Most are designed to somehow enhance or increase the enjoyment, look or convenience of your home spa. For each accessory that you consider for your hot tub, ask yourself honestly if it will really be worth the extra money. If you are a first time spa buyer, put off accessory purchases until after you have spent some time soaking in your tub and get a better feel for your own preferences.

Essential and Fun Accessories to Compliment Your Home Spa

  • Hot Tub Surrounds – Steps, planter boxes, benches, tables, and safety rails.
  • Water Quality – Water test kits, vacuums, scum absorbers, floating chemical dispensers, ozonator water purifiers, floating thermometers.
  • Fun Stuff – Floating drink trays, floating radios, swimming toys, etc.

Many tubs offer a range of built-in accessories, such as special lights, fountains, aromatherapy devices, CD/stereo equipment and even built-in TVs. Most first time hot tub buyers really do not need all of these accessory items, because they tend to increase the price of spas dramatically. In most cases it is better to focus on a good quality, basic home spa for your first purchase, especially if you are on a tight budget.

For some types of accessories, you can end up spending almost as much on the accessory as you do on the home spa itself. Examples include custom designed surrounds, planter boxes, matching furniture, hot tub gazebos, umbrellas, bar stools, etc. These types of accessories can be very expensive and take up a lot of space around your hot tub, so it takes some planning and careful measuring to ensure a good fit before you actually buy them.
