You’ll probably spend more on your daily cup of coffee. Hot tub costs can differ based on climate, model, and usage, but typical monthly electrical costs are in the $10 to $20 range. Plus, when you buy a hot tub that uses quality materials and the latest technology, you’ll save on maintenance, energy costs, and the expense of replacing costly salt water hot tub systems in the long run.

The prices shown on this website reflect MSRP, but your local dealer offers different pricing, packages, and promotions based on bulk buys and often pass the savings on to you. Visit your Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs dealer for the most current deals.

You need to have a proper foundation and meet any electrical requirements. Your Jacuzzi® authorized dealer will walk you through the process and connect you with an expert to install your hot tub. See what to expect in the video below.

Here are a few things you can do to ensure installation and setup goes smoothly:

• Check your HOA, city, and county rules and obtain any permits necessary.
• Decide on a foundation that supports your hot tub, ensures proper drainage, and looks good.
• Choose the perfect location, and remember to leave room for maintenance and entertaining.
• Keep our Pre-Installation Checklist handy for reference.

Thanks to advanced water management and filtration systems, hot tub maintenance is easier than ever—routine tasks take just a few minutes a week. When we surveyed current owners about basic hot tub maintenance, nearly all of them said it was easy! Here’s a quick summary of how to maintain a hot tub:

Water: Check the chemical levels weekly with test strips and adjust them by adding the appropriate products per your owner’s manual—no chemistry expertise necessary. Drain and refills are only needed every 3–4 months, based on use.

Filter: Rinse and clean filters with a garden hose or filter flosser once per month. Replace as needed.

Cover: Use a cover to help keep your water warm and clean. It will protect your hot tub from debris and weather elements.

LOCATE A DEALER

A visit to your local dealer is a great way to get personalized service and information on your region’s market.

Hot tubs come in a wide range of seating capacities to suit your lifestyle and space—whether you’re thinking relaxing solo soaks or lively gatherings with friends.

• Compact hot tubs comfortably seat two to four people, making them perfect for couples or small families looking for an intimate experience.
• Medium-sized options typically accommodate five or six people—great for those who want a balance between coziness and room to spare.
• Larger models are built for entertaining and can seat up to seven or even eight adults, providing enough space for the whole family and a few neighbors, too.

Acrylic hot tubs tend to feature more generous seating and an increased number of jets, often offering additional luxury touches and flexible layouts. If you’re thinking about hosting friends or want room for everyone to stretch out, opting for a larger acrylic model could be the best fit. On the other hand, if your goal is peaceful, solitary evenings—or you have limited space—a smaller, more streamlined hot tub might be ideal.

Ultimately, consider your typical guest list and planned use when selecting the right size for your backyard retreat.

Most hot tub brands include their own warranty coverage and satisfaction guarantees—giving you peace of mind when making your purchase. Many manufacturers offer multi-year warranties on components like the shell, plumbing, and equipment. In addition, some retailers extend their own satisfaction guarantees, making it easy to exchange or return if you’re not completely happy with your new spa. Be sure to ask your local authorized dealer for details about what’s included, so you know exactly what kind of support and service you’ll receive after bringing your hot tub home.

When it comes to choosing between acrylic and soft-side hot tubs, it really comes down to your lifestyle, space, and personal preferences. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you make the best choice for your backyard oasis:

Acrylic Hot Tubs:

• These are the “classic” hard-shell hot tubs you’ll see from brands like Jacuzzi®, Sundance®, and Caldera®.
• They typically offer more seating capacity—great if you host family gatherings or want to invite friends over.
• With acrylic models, you’ll find advanced hydrotherapy, more jets, and loads of upgrade options, such as LED lighting, waterfalls, and Bluetooth® audio.
• The durable shell not only looks sleek but is designed for years of use outdoors, standing up to wind, sun, and snow.
• While installation tends to be more permanent, they’re also built to last.

Soft-Side Hot Tubs:

• These portable options feature a softer exterior, making them lighter and easier to move or store away—ideal if you’re renting or have a smaller space.
• They generally have fewer jets and a cozier capacity—usually perfect for couples or solo relaxation.
• Soft-side models are often more budget-friendly up front and require less set-up—just fill, plug in, and enjoy.
• Maintenance and durability can differ from traditional acrylic styles, so think about how often you’ll use your tub and what matters most to you.

Here’s a quick way to decide:

• If you want lots of features, more room, and a long-lasting investment, acrylic is likely the way to go.
• If you need portability and simplicity, or are looking for a more affordable entry point, soft-side hot tubs might be a better fit.

Still unsure? Stop by your local Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs dealer—they’ll help you compare models and find the perfect match for your needs.

Absolutely—each manufacturer and model can come with its own set of installation guidelines. From electrical specifications to foundation needs, there may be unique instructions you’ll need to follow to ensure your hot tub is set up correctly and lasts for years to come. Always double-check your owner’s manual or consult with your dealer about any brand-specific steps. This extra bit of homework helps prevent surprises on delivery day and keeps your spa experience stress-free.

Read More About Hot Tub Sizes

When considering hot tub sizes, think about how you plan to use your spa. If you love to entertain or want to invite friends and family to join you, opting for a larger hot tub with extra seating can make gatherings more comfortable and enjoyable. On the other hand, if your focus is on solo soaking or relaxing with a partner, a smaller model may be just right.

Beyond seating, consider the available space in your backyard or patio, as well as your preferred style. Most reputable brands offer both acrylic and soft-sided hot tubs in a variety of sizes—so you can find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and home. Taking time to assess your space and who will be using the hot tub most often will help you land on the ideal size for years of relaxation.
