The Pros And Cons Of In Ground Hot Tubs

Many people think that in ground hot tubs are unaffordable for all but the wealthiest homeowners, but this is no longer true. While it is true that in ground pools, spas and hottubs cost more than above ground pools or portable home spas, they are generally not outrageously expensive. And although in-ground hottubs and spas do not necessarily add a great deal to a home’s dollar value, they do add a great deal to the homeowner’s quality of life. This alone makes hot tubs a worthwhile investment for many people.

Benefits and Maintenance
Portable Hot Tubs

The benefits of in-ground spas and hottubs are many. They are more durable
and reliable than a portable hot tub because they are not as exposed to the outdoor elements, and many people feel they are more attractive because the spa is built directly into the landscape. Additionally, in-ground hot tubs can generally be built in a variety of shapes and sizes, much like swimming pools. Maintenance is usually easier for a spa than it is for a regular pool because the tub is smaller and requires less work to keep clean.

Down Sides

Of course, there are some down sides to in-ground hottubs, too. These types of spas require much more space than their portable cousins, and they require professional installation. Much like regular swimming pools, built-in hot tubs are major construction projects that require proper building permits, excavation, installation of electrical or natural gas lines, and skilled labor. Many retailers do offer in-ground spa shells, though, that are pre-fabricated to reduce the cost of installation. Shop around and visit several dealers to evaluate their product lines, and ask them for references to satisfied customers. Keep in mind that winter is generally a slow time of year for sales of built-in spas and pools, so you may be able to get a good deal if you are willing to buy then and wait until spring for construction to begin.
