Three kinds of outdoor hot tub

The acrylic spas from Liberty Spas have adjustable jets, hard shell walls, paper style filters, a built in ozone generator and color lighting. You can choose an outdoor spa with a lounger or open seating. The seven person spa has bench seats and room to move around.

The wood fired tubs have a smooth fiberglass basin inside thermo-spruce walls. You burn firewood in a stainless steel wood stove to heat the water, and the natural finish gives a backyard hot tub a warm look.

The SaunaLife immersion tubs hold one or two people for a warm soak or cold plunge. The two person tub is the 2 person outdoor hot tub on the store, a warm soak for two or a cold plunge after a sauna. The packages include a chiller and heater that you set from a touchscreen control or a phone app. You can also compare the warm and cold combos from The Plunge Supplier.

Plan for power and weather

The tubs that plug in need a dedicated outdoor household outlet that splashing cannot reach. The larger acrylic spas need a licensed electrician to wire their own circuit. Compare seating across the tubs for six or more.

The acrylic spas come with a locking hardtop cover. The SaunaLife tubs have kiln-baked wood that stands up to water and weather. The wood fired tubs include an insulated cover, while the immersion tub cover is its own listing. For how warm to run your soak, read our guide to the ideal hot tub temperature.

The base and the spot

Every above ground hot tub needs a solid, level pad or a deck checked by a contractor for its full weight. Arrange help moving it into place. Leave room for steps and the cover to fold back.

Your questions answered

Can you keep a hot tub outside all year?

Yes, every tub here is built to live outside all year. The acrylic spas have locking hardtop covers, and the SaunaLife tubs have weather-resistant wood. In a hard freeze, keep the tub heated and covered or drain it, and check the manual for your tub.

What should an outdoor hot tub sit on?

Use a solid, level pad of poured concrete or pavers on a compacted base. A deck must carry the full weight and be checked by a contractor. The SaunaLife immersion tubs come with foundation beams, but still need a firm, level base underneath.

Which outdoor hot tub needs no electricity?

The SaunaLife wood fired tubs heat with a stainless steel stove and need no electricity. The plug-and-play spas and the chiller and heater packages use household outlets. The three larger acrylic spas are wired by a licensed electrician to their own circuit, so plan that before you choose an outdoor hot tub.
