But with new hot tubs becoming more expensive than ever due to factors such as shipping costs and demand - how do you get the best deal?
Palm Spas, who are based on Storforth Lane, Hasland, Chesterfield, have been selling hot tubs since 2016 and offer these top five tips to help you in your buying decision.
5. Buy your hot tub in winter
Our gardens are an extension of our living space, but mainly only used in the summer. Winter is actually a great time to purchase. Imagine enjoying a crisp night under the star’s toasty in your new tub. You might even find that, as demand is lower in winter you can bag a good deal and have your tub delivered and installed within a couple of weeks. Photo: Palm Spas
6. Prepare to put in the work on maintenance
To keep your hot tub in tip-top shape, test it daily and dose where necessary. If you have sensitive or irritated skin, Palm Spas recommends switching the chlorine to bromine to sanitise the tub. If you have an acrylic shell, avoid using chlorine tablets as these can remove the sheen and mattify the shell, instead try either chlorine or bromine granules. Photo: Palm Spas
