How to choose the perfect hot tub

At Johnsons Leisure, we understand that choosing the right hot tub is more than just selecting a model — it’s about creating your ideal relaxation space. Whether you’re after hydrotherapy, family fun, or simply a place to unwind, this guide will help you choose the perfect hot tub based on your needs, space, and budget.

 

1. Identify Your Needs

  • For Relaxation: Seek out models with soothing jet placements, calming lights, and lounges, for example the Everest hot tub.

  • For Hydrotherapy: Look for targeted massage jets, adjustable controls, and deeper seating for example the Atlas hot tub.

  • For Social Use: Focus on open seating designs, larger capacities (5–7+ people), and features like Bluetooth sound systems or water feature for example the Elbrus hot tub.

Tip: Write down your top priorities to stay focused while browsing options or to show to our sales person.

2. Measure Your Space

Make sure your chosen model fits your space — and your lifestyle.

  • Measure Carefully: Include clearance for steps, maintenance access, and safety zones.

  • Check Access Routes: Can installers get the spa into place?

  • Think Practically: Smaller tubs (2–3 person) are perfect for couples, while families may want something more spacious.

Tip: Bring your measurements to your local Johnsons Leisure showroom — we’ll help you visualise what works best.

3. Plan Your Budget

There’s a perfect hot tub for every budget — it’s all about balancing cost with value.

  • Running Costs (electricity, chemicals) All of Johnsons hot tubs are energy efficient.
  • Your hot tub is a haven of relaxation and well-being, but like any complex piece of equipment, it requires maintenance to perform at its best. That’s where Johnsons’ expert hot tub and spa servicing comes in. We understand that investing in a hot tub or spa is a significant decision, and our comprehensive servicing packages are designed to protect that investment, ensuring years of uninterrupted enjoyment.

Tip: Ask about our finance options — we’ll help you spread the cost comfortably.
