What are some important things to keep in mind before buying a hot tub?
Your own hot tub – A dream for many Finns for the home or cottage. As summer approaches, many people’s dreams of having a hot tub in their yard or at their cottage grow stronger. More and more Finnish homes are already graced by a hot tub, but equally many are still wondering what to consider before buying one. Read the blog to find out what things are important to think about before choosing a hot tub.
Think about who will use the hot tub and how it will be use
There is a wide range of sizes and materials when it comes to hot tubs on the market, and it can feel like navigating a jungle, making it difficult to decide. There are a few things to think about in advance before making a purchase, and it’s always wise to contact a trusted and knowledgeable seller. Choosing the right hot tub becomes easier when you consider a few factors ahead of time:
The size of the hot tub
The number of users is one of the most important things to consider before buying a hot tub. The market offers a variety of sizes, from two-person tubs to twelve-person tubs. While a larger tub might seem tempting due to its capacity, it’s important to remember that bigger tubs require more water and have longer heating times. A too-small hot tub, on the other hand, can feel cramped and make bathing uncomfortable.
The most popular sizes are the 6–8 person and 8–10 person tubs. These sizes typically hold about 1500–2000 liters of water, and the heating time differs only slightly between these two sizes—just about half an hour.
When deciding on the size, think primarily about your needs and how the hot tub will primarily be used. Is it meant for family use with children, or just for relaxing with your partner? For occasional guests, it’s not necessary to buy a larger tub – instead, consider enjoying smaller batches of baths.
The environment of the hot tub
Hot tubs can be purchased for cottages, single-family homes, and often even for townhouse yards. Think carefully about where to place the hot tub and the surrounding space. The hot tub needs to be placed on a level, sturdy surface – preferably on crushed stone, tiles, concrete, or a deck. Keep in mind the space needed for the chimney and stove – the tub should be placed far enough from buildings.
Also, consider usability. The hot tub should be placed where it’s easy to fill and empty, whether you take water from a lake or tap. A sheltered location will add to the comfort – no one wants to bathe right under the neighbors’ watchful eyes. If you’re unsure how to best position the hot tub, ask the seller for professional advice. They can also assess safety aspects of the placement.
Maintaining the cleanliness of the hot tub
When purchasing a hot tub, check if it comes with a cover. If it doesn’t, be sure to buy one. A cover protects the tub from falling leaves and bird droppings, making it easier to maintain cleanliness.
In addition to the cover, the hot tub should be cleaned, and the water changed regularly. If only a few people are using the tub, it’s not necessary to change the water after every use. For larger tubs, the water is recommended to be changed after every use.
There are also surface filtration systems available for hot tubs, which help extend the time between water changes. This device is placed in the tub after use and removes debris such as hair and skin particles from the water. You can also use chlorine-free active oxygen tablets in the water, which help maintain better water quality for a longer period.
