OUR HOT TUB BLOG

Here at Aqua Paradise, we field a ton of phone calls and email inquiries about the cost of hot tubs.

We thought it would be helpful to break down the different hot tub price points in the industry and let you know what to expect when shopping.

Hot Tub Pricing Breakdown

Let’s discuss all hot tub prices ranging from $2,999 to $20,000.

Hot Tub Prices Up to $2,999

This is the beginning price point for hot tubs that are typically sold by a retailer. Yes, you can get a hot tub for less, but usually, they are only available online.

The $2,999 price point hot tubs are usually rotationally molded spas. This means they are all plastic, lightweight, and have few color choices. These units are plug-and-play hot tubs, meaning they can be set on your patio and plugged into a standard 110-volt outlet.

While these hot tubs are inexpensive and easy to install, they usually lack any massage performance or water maintenance features. Also, they are not able to keep the water warm while you are using it. In the end, they are a bucket of hot water to sit and enjoy with family and friends.

Hot Tub Prices From $3,000 – $5,999

This next category is what I call the most popular category in the industry. Most people who come into Jacuzzi Hot Tubs and Outdoor Living, believe that ALL hot tubs are in this range. These people are often shocked that hot tubs cost more than this.

The main reason is the $5,000 price point is what is most advertised online and in print advertising. The most popular place you will see a $5,000 hot tub is at big box retailers. A $3-5,000 hot tub usually has a two-pump option and will run on 220 volts. You will need an electrician to install it. (See our article on Installation costs by clicking here.)

These spas are capable of seating a family of four more comfortably and will have a few more jets than a less expensive hot tub. Typically, the warranty coverage may be better depending on the brand and retailer your purchase from. The jet performance, water care, and energy efficiency are not as strong as spas that are in higher hot tub price pints.

Hot Tub Prices From $6,000 – 10,999

A longer warranty, better jet performance, and easier maintenance are just some of the advantages you receive in this price category. The selection of spa models increases in this category as most major hot tub brands have models that hit this price point.

You will begin to see better-looking spas as design begins to play a part at this hot tub price range. The lighting changes from high-intensity pin lights that create a disco effect to a more sophisticated lighting package that creates a glow and ambiance.

In addition, energy efficiency increases due to better shell construction and increased amounts of insulation. All in all, this is the beginning of the differentiation between the major brands in the industry.

The dealers and retailers that offer hot tubs at this price point make customer service a priority. Hot Tubs sold in these showrooms are usually delivered by an in-house delivery team. Also, your new owner orientation is done at home versus having to come back to the store since the retailers understand what good customer service looks like.
