Advantages of large hot tubs

The obvious advantage of large hot tubs is that they can fit more people. There are hot tubs that are big enough for 10-12, and these can be excellent for family and work parties, as well as general entertaining. Additionally, large hot tubs often come with such features as more jets and more options in terms of color and style. However, it is important to note that most large hot tubs are what is known as non-loungers. This means that they do not have the seats in them that resemble lounge chairs. But it is this very lack that contributes to the ability of the big hot tubs to fit more people.

Considerations

When you prepare to buy one of the larger hot tubs, it is important to take a variety of factors into consideration:

• Will the hot tub fit where you plan to put it? This is especially important if you plan to have the hot tub inside.
• Is there a large enough space that is flat and sturdy enough for the spa?
• Will you be frequently entertaining large groups of people in the hot tub? If not, it may be more practical to get a smaller one.
• Are you planning to have the hot tub close to the house?
• What are the conditions in the yard? Will the hot tub be in the shade or the sun?
• Will the hot tub be in a place where it is convenient to drain and fill?

• Are you planning to have other entertaining options such as tables, chairs and cup holders nearby?
