Should I buy hard shell Spa or inflatable one?
Before making the final decision. Let’s look at the differences between the two:
Hardshell Spas are much more durable and have more features like jets, bubbles, light, etc. They also have much better filtration and heating systems, and more comfortable seats. However, hard shell Spas tend to cost more initially and are not as portable as inflatable Spas. On the other hand, inflatable Spas cost less money and are much easier to move and transport. But they are not as comfortable, and feature-rich as the hardshell Spas.

Can I use a hot tub all year round?
Can I use a hot tub all year round?
Yes, you can use the tub throughout the year, but it may need to be drained and cleaned depending on where you live. In warmer climates, especially in mild winters, it is safe to leave your hot tub in the ground year-round. However, if you live in an area with freezing temperatures or snowfall, it is recommended that you drain your hot tub and store it indoors during the winter months. This will prevent damage from freezing and allow for maintenance work such as cleaning and draining before the following season.
