FAQ
What’s the difference between a hot tub and a swim spa?
Hot tubs are designed primarily for relaxation and hydrotherapy, offering seating, massage jets, and warm water.
Swim spas combine the benefits of a hot tub with a built-in current for swimming or aquatic exercise. They are longer, deeper, and great for both fitness and recovery.
How much does a hot tub or swim spa cost?
Pricing varies based on size, features, and brand. Entry-level hot tubs may start around $4,000, while luxury or large-capacity swim spas can exceed $25,000. We offer special financing options to make it more affordable.
Do I need special electrical work?
Most hot tubs require a dedicated 220V connection installed by a licensed electrician. Some smaller models may be plug-and-play on a 110V outlet. Swim spas typically require 220V wiring due to their size and power needs.
How difficult is it to maintain a hot tub or swim spa?
