Starting Out With Small Hot Tubs

Small hot tubs are a great choice to get started in the backyard, spa and hottub lifestyle. Plus they offer a lot of benefits larger hottubs can’t compete with. Ease of installation, simple to install and with a small price tag, smaller hot tubs are a great first choice.

Often billed as portable hottubs, they are more affordable as the smaller cousins of the full-sized hottubs. They are great for small properties where space is at a premium. They can be sited in creative areas. How’d you like to walk out onto your patio and right into your hot tub? You can more easily do it with a small, portable model.

Of course, portability is relative. Even small, two to four person hot tubs and home spas hold 150 to 200 gallons of water. That’s a lot of weight! And no matter how you do it, they will take up a fair amount of space. Yet some models are much easier than others to empty, move and set back up. Some can be moved in only a few minutes by one or two people. Other hot tubs may take hours by a whole crew.

So, if you think you might want to relocate your portable home spa or hot tub at some point, know the features of the hot tub you are getting. When checking out models, check with the dealer or manufacturer about how easy it is to move your hottub, and set it back up. Some of the smaller models are designed with relocation in mind, others not. Know what your model is capable of.

One great advantage of smaller hottubs is the maintenance. There isn’t as much! Their small size and scale means smaller hot tub heaters and pumps, filters and other equipment that generally do not need to work as hard. That translates into smaller electrical costs and maintenance bills for your portable home spa or hottub. That way you get quality at a great cost! Just one more thing to enjoy while you soak your troubles away in your new home spa!
