As you can see, Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs offer a range of sizes and heights, but also seating configurations. With so many choices, you can find exactly the right spa that will be perfect for your relaxation needs.

What is the standard hot tub size?

When searching for a standard-size hot tub, you will likely find that 7 by 7 feet is the average medium hot tub size. However, each hot tub brand and its models are unique. So rather than seeking a “standard” model, it’s important to determine the size hot tub that will be best for you, your family, or your loved ones. There are many ways you can figure out which size hot tub will suit your needs.

First of all, ask yourself how many people will be using the hot tub at one time. If you like to entertain and plan to use your hot tub for socializing with a group of friends or if you have a large family, you may want to consider a large spa suited for 9 people or more.

On the other hand, if you are seeking a spa for a solo solace or intimate couples’ time, a 2 person spa may be just the right choice for you. Families of 4 or 5 will probably find that the medium size category, or standard hot tub size as mentioned above, is where they can find the right size hot tub for their needs.

When considering the desired depth of your future hot tub, you’ll again want to consider who will be using the hot tub—and their height. Smaller children or more petite frames might not need a very deep hot tub, while people with taller or more athletic builds may be more comfortable with a deeper hot tub.

You may also take some thought as to how you like to enjoy your hot tub soak. If you like to be fully immersed in the water up to your neck, a deeper hot tub might be more suited to your preference. On the other hand, if you like to sit up higher out of the water, a hot tub model with a shallower height may be best suited for your needs.

A swim spa might be another option if you are seeking more depth than most hot tubs. A swim spa is a hybrid between a swimming pool, a fitness trainer, and a hot tub. It delivers the best features of these three in one efficient unit that is smaller than a swimming pool but larger than a hot tub.

The size and height of Jacuzzi® Swim Spas vary by collection. However, in general, they are deeper than Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs. For example, the height of the J-13 PowerPlay® Swim Spa is 50 inches while the J-19™ PowerPro® Swim Spa has a height of 53 inches.

Regardless of whether you decide on a hot tub or a swim spa, comfort should be your first priority when finding the perfect height for your relaxation needs. This is where a wet test at your local hot tub dealer comes in handy. Performing a wet test on a particular model allows you to experience the comfort level of the height/depth, the seat configurations and jets, and more to determine whether that hot tub is the right one for you. This also gives you an opportunity to have a demonstration of the hot tub you like to see how it operates.

Peace of mind is a large part of your hot tub relaxation. You’ll want to make sure the hot tub you choose is simple to operate and maintain. This way, your spa sanctuary remains a place of bliss, and doesn’t become another worry or stressor to add to your busy plate. As you consider the best hot tub for your total relaxation, remember that ease of use can sometimes be priceless.
