Types of Hot Tub Spas
Rectangular
It goes without saying that the shape of the spa can certainly improve its aesthetic and functionality. Over the years, the rectangle spa models have gained a lot of popularity because of many reasons. Firstly, a rectangle spa is sleek, functional and good looking, and is one of the most favoured models among all others. It's space efficient as its shape allows for accommodating more people without compromising comfort. They are available in different sizes and designs which allows you to choose from the many models offered in stores. Depending on the size, the shape of these spas is perfect for complementing any architectural style, and they also allow for being used indoors and outdoors. There are lots of models available on the market allowing you to choose from ones featuring bench-style seating along with seats, and ones that come with lounge seats. Depending on the model and manufacturer, they can provide you with a full body massage experience thanks to the hydrotherapy jets installed in all the right places.
The modern types of rectangular spas can accommodate from 2 up to 12 people or even more, which explains the difference in size, model and price of course. Practice shows that this shape of spa is one of the most versatile, functional and easy to use. Some of them, also allow for being used as swim pools which is great for those of you who want to have good exercise as well. Ideally, you should check all of the options on the market, and take into account all of your needs. Aside from choosing the one that appeals to your eyes the most, you should also consider its size, the number of seats it has, hydrotherapy jets and other features. All of these things are essential for you to make the right choice.
Square
Square tubs seem to be more aesthetically appealing, however, when it comes to accommodation, the rectangle ones are way better. The square models of tubs are appealing because they evenly distribute the seats and generally speaking, you can choose between four, eight and twelve seated tubs. One of the main reasons why people find them appealing is that they also give each person their own space which is super. They are perfect for just seating, lounging and enjoying hydrotherapy, unlike some rectangular spas that also allow for being used as a pool.
Round
Round tubs are the perfect alternative to the aforementioned types of tubs. That's because they can be easily fitted in places where rectangle and square tubs cannot fit. It seems that they are also lighter more compact, and easier to install of course even though this isn't the case with most of these tubs. According to manufacturers, these tubs are made with space efficiency in mind, so if you are planning on installing a tub in an awkward space, this is your chance to try it. However, you should keep in mind that these tubs offer less seating capacity when compared to rectangle and square tubs. So, if planning on using the tub with more people, you might want to reconsider your wish to install the space-efficient round tub. In the end, you'll only benefit from floor space but not from anything else.
When it comes to aesthetics, some people prefer the model and style of the round tubs. They see them as more appealing mainly because of their round and smooth lines, however, you should make sure that this isn't a decisive factor. First, you should take into account the other more important things like the number of people you plan to accommodate, the number and type of jets you want the tub to have, as well as the features and benefits you plan to take out of it. Once you weigh down everything you want to have from a tub, you can go online, browse through the large selection and find the right type and model for you.
