Alberta 6-Person Hot Tub: Wellness and Relaxation in Your Own Garden
Xavier LabelleFor many people, a hot tub in the garden is the very picture of relaxation and comfort. Sliding into warm water after a long working day, easing tight muscles and simply unwinding — that’s exactly what modern outdoor hot tubs are built for.
The Alberta SE 6-Person Hot Tub from Canadian Spa Company combines powerful hydrotherapy with comfortable seating and modern features. It offers plenty of room for family and friends, turning your garden into a private wellness retreat. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this 6-person outdoor hot tub works just as well for a quiet evening for two as it does for a sociable get-together.
1. Comfortable seating layout
The Alberta is designed so up to six people can sit comfortably at the same time. The ergonomic seating layout means everyone can find a position that works for them. The layout includes:
- Several ergonomically shaped seats
- A comfortable lounger seat for full-body massage
- Plenty of legroom for relaxed seating positions
This combination lets multiple people enjoy different massage functions at the same time — ideal for families or evenings with friends.
2. Powerful hydrotherapy with 57 jets
One of the biggest factors in the quality of an outdoor hot tub is the massage system. The Alberta features 57 powerful hydrotherapy jets that target different muscle groups. Hydrotherapy in a hot tub is often used to:
- Ease tight muscles
- Support circulation
- Relieve stress
- Aid recovery after exercise
Jets are positioned to massage the back, shoulders, legs and feet — a real spa-like experience right in your own garden.
3. Powerful pumps for an intensive massage
For hydrotherapy to feel its best, you need strong pumps. The Alberta has two powerful massage pumps that push water through the jets at the right pressure for a proper massage. Several air controls also let you fine-tune massage intensity — so it works just as well for relaxing soaks as it does for stronger hydrotherapy sessions.
4. LED lighting for a relaxed garden atmosphere
An outdoor hot tub isn’t just a wellness product — it’s also part of your garden’s look. The Alberta comes with mood LED lighting that creates a great atmosphere, especially after dark. Many owners particularly enjoy slipping into the warm water after sunset and just enjoying the calm.
5. Bluetooth audio for music in your hot tub
The Alberta also includes a built-in Bluetooth audio system, so you can stream your music straight from your phone. Whether it’s gentle background music or a podcast, audio outside adds another layer to the experience.
6. Easy water care
A garden hot tub should be comfortable to use — and easy to maintain. The Alberta has an integrated water care system that helps keep water clean and clear. It combines:
- Powerful filtration
- Ozone disinfection
- Continuous water circulation
This cuts down on day-to-day care so you can spend more time actually enjoying it. Pair with our Glacier filter and routine chemistry from our Starter Hot Tub Chemical Kit.

How the seating and jets are laid out
The Alberta's rectangular 240 x 216 cm shell gives more room from end to end than a square spa of similar width. Two captain's chairs hold you upright with back and shoulder jets in line, which suits conversation. The lounger lets one person lie back with jets working along the back, legs and feet. The other seats sit at different depths for taller and shorter bathers. With four air controls, people in different seats can soften or strengthen the massage without affecting everyone else.
Alberta SE compared with the Thunder Bay
| Alberta SE | Thunder Bay | |
|---|---|---|
| Seats | 6 | 6 |
| Jets | 57 | 44 |
| Pumps | 2 x 5HP | 2 x 5HP |
| Size | 240 x 216 x 93 cm | 219 x 219 x 82 cm |
| Water capacity | 1,300 litres | 1,220 litres |
| Electrics | 32 amp | 32 amp |
Choose the Alberta if you want more jets, a deeper shell and a longer footprint. The Thunder Bay suits a square space and is slightly shallower. For a bigger spa still, our flagship Niagara seats seven and has two 5HP pumps and a heated air blower.
Planning the installation
- Base: filled, the Alberta weighs about 1,650 kg before anyone gets in, so it needs a flat, level, solid base such as a concrete pad.
- Power: a 32 amp supply with RCD protection, fitted by a qualified electrician before delivery.
- Access: measure the route from the road, allowing for the 240 cm length and 93 cm depth.
- Service access: leave about 1 metre in front of the access panel so an engineer can reach the equipment.
Running costs
With 1,300 litres to keep warm, the Alberta's running cost depends mostly on heat loss through the cover and how often it is used. Raising 1,300 litres by 1°C takes about 1.5 kWh, roughly 40p at the October to December 2026 Ofgem cap rate of 26.32p per kWh. Check your own tariff or the current Ofgem price cap. The included tapered cover and ThermalSprings heat reclamation both help keep that heat in the water.
Who the Alberta suits
- Families who will regularly have four to six people in at once.
- Owners who want a strong, adjustable massage across every seat.
- Gardens with room for a rectangular spa and a 32 amp supply.
If you need a 13 amp plug and play spa instead, see our plug and play range.
