Hot Tub Buying Guide
Guides, ownership advice and updates from the Redhill showroom — written for UK buyers deciding between hot tubs, swim spas, saunas and the kit that keeps them running.
Buying your first hot tub can feel overwhelming because the differences that actually matter — cover thickness, insulation strategy, plumbing diameter, jet placement, control system reliability — sit below the surface and don’t show up in the price tag. The cheapest tub at any given size usually costs the most to run.
What helps is knowing which trade-offs are worth making. A 4-seater with proper hydrotherapy seating beats a budget 6-seater built around four flat benches and a footwell. A 2.5″ plumbing run maintains flow under load where narrower diameters can’t. The cover is doing more work than anything else — heat rises, so a 5″→3″ tapered cover holds heat in a UK winter where a 4″→2″ doesn’t. Below: the practical decisions to make before you commit, from sizing for a UK garden to spotting the spec details that separate a serious spa from a cheap one.
