Once you have identified your needs of wanting to purchase a new hot tub from a Scottish retailer, then it is time to start shopping. Your long-term satisfaction will usually depend on how much you spend. Pay a little more and you will get a better hot tub experience, better components, and lower running costs. Your hot tub will last longer, and your total investment will be less in the long term.
Before ordering the best hot tub for your needs:
Use the shopping list in this guide and keep focused on buying a new hot tub in Scotland from a Scottish hot tub retailer that suit your needs.
Look for quality, value, and long-term ownership costs rather than the initial price.
Make sure the model is comfortable to sit in and is the right size and shape.
Buy from a salesperson that asks questions, understands your needs, discusses options, can explain features, and can prove how their product is better than their competition.
The retailer and brand should have a good reputation and been around long enough to support you for years to come.
Check if the hot tub is comfortable?
Many hot tubs on the market are poorly designed, with uncomfortable seats, recliners that make you float and small foot wells that are not big enough for everyone’s feet. In general models that perfectly suit one customer will be terrible for another due to differences in size and height.
So, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for as many of the users as possible to sit in the hot tub before you buy it – and ask to try before you buy in a wet test.
What is a wet test?
A wet test is basically exactly what it sounds like - testing the hot tub when it is filled with water. With a wet test, your hot tub dealer will fill and heat the hot tub so that you are able to test it by soaking in it for 10 - 15 minutes. This time gives you an opportunity to test the seats, feel the water jets and their massage programs along with other features.
Check the following:
That it suits your size, height, and shape – you do not want it too deep or shallow.
That it is big enough to give everyone the space they will expect
That all or most of the seats are comfortable
That the recliners hold you in place – if they are flat then you will float away when water is in the hot tub.
Can you fit under the neck jets (if the particular model has them)?
Do the jets stick in your back or are they positioned on your spine (which is not good)?
Is there is enough room in the foot well when all the seats are being used?
At the end of the day, a hot tub is a large investment and something that you will own for many years to come. By doing your research up front and taking the time to try different models before you rush into buying, you will ensure that you choose the best model for your needs.
