Making Right Choice When Buying an Inflatable Hot Tub

by sladetanner on April 5, 2010

An inflatable hot tub has become an affordable luxury but how do you know if an inflatable hot tub is right for you?

One of the best advantages of an inflatable hot tub beyond its moderate price range is its ability to be set up in almost any indoor or outdoor location, then moved to another location when the mood strikes. There are no special electrical or plumbing requirements necessary to set up an inflatable hot tub unlike a traditional hard-sided hot tub, although it is helpful to be close to an electrical outlet and a water source for filling the tub. Maintenance is relatively easy and doesn’t require a lot of instructions or special skills.

Instead of waiting days or weeks for a contractor to finish installing a hard-sided hot tub, an inflatable hot tub can be ready to enjoy in a matter of a few hours. Among the few downsides to owning an inflatable hot tub is its small size which can accommodate only 2 or 3 people at most, and the more rapid cool-down of the tub water once the heater is shut off.

To get the most amount of enjoyment and least amount of hassle when purchasing an inflatable hot tub, there are several guidelines to follow. Choose a recognized brand that offers a warranty and good construction that won’t easily rip or tear. Make sure the unit you select comes with a built-in pump for quick and easy installation. You may also want to pay a bit extra for a model that includes interior seating so you don’t have to sit on the floor of the hot tub. Be sure to purchase a unit with a cover that will protect the interior and the water when not in use.

Find a showroom where you can see the inflatable hot tub in action and possibly test out the experience yourself. Ask your hot tub vendor about the maintenance supplies necessary to keep the hot tub water sparkling clean and free from bacteria. Ask about the energy costs for heating the water. Find out ahead of time if your hot tub vendor handles inflatable hot tub repairs or must the unit be serviced by the manufacturer.

An investment in an inflatable hot tub can provide hours of soothing comfort and enjoyment. Write out your wish list of features that are an absolute necessity, then go see some showroom models in operation. Most dealers are happy to provide potential customers with references of other customers who have been happy with their inflatable hot tub purchase.

Should you buy an inflatable hot tub?

by sladetanner on March 29, 2010

Almost everyone enjoys relaxing in a hot tub. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one of your own? But hot tubs are very expensive and not everyone can afford to buy one. Until now that is. The inflatable hot tub costs thousands of dollars less than a hard tub. They also save you money because they are cost efficient. They don’t use a lot of water or electricity. And they are so much easier to maintain than a hard hot tub.

There are some disadvantages in owning an inflatable hot tub over a hard tub. They are round and smaller, although there are a few square models sold, they are not as durable, and they are not as fancy looking as a hard hot tub. But the advantages of owning an inflatable hot tub far out-weigh the disadvantages.

They are portable. You can try them in several different places at your house, unlike a hard hot tub. They are easily inflated and deflated and do no take long to fill with water. And they heat quickly because they are not as big. They can also be taken with you on vacation or to a friends’ party.

Often, the inflatable hot tub will seat up to only four people. But this would be great if you are the only one using it. And just think of those romantic evenings with your special loved one, relaxing in your very own hot tub. The intimacy is definitely invaluable in an inflatable hot tub.

Another advantage in owning an inflatable hot tub is that when you are not going to be using it, you can just deflate it and store it away until you’re ready to use it again. This takes a lot of the stress of owning a hot tub away because you don’t have to worry about taking care of it while it’s not in use.

You can have the same satisfaction in your inflatable hot tub as your neighbor who purchased and in ground hot tub, but you get the satisfaction in knowing that you spent thousands of dollars less and you can move yours around from place to place. And his has to stay outside to endure the harsh weather while yours can be stored away until better weather comes.
