Tip 1 - Where should the hot tub go? A consumer can decide to house their tub indoors or out.
  Some indoor considerations are a bathroom or an enclosed porch.
  A tub can also be placed on a deck or somewhere in the backyard.
  When considering indoors, remember that hot tubs emit heat and moisture, which may contribute to mildew.
  An outdoor tub is susceptible to falling leaves and other debris.
  In addition, depending on the structure of a house, an in/outdoor decision may be contingent on cost and ease of implementation.
Tip 2 - What size of a tub? Hot tubs range in size.
  Availability of space and number of potential users needs consideration.
  A general rule of thumb is to figure each person warrants about 75 gallons; so, when shopping, multiply the intended number of people by 75 to search for a tub that is befitting to desires.
Tip 3 - How much are these things? Like any smart consumer, it is best to look for hot tub sales, and though every provider's price can vary, in general, most manufacturers' tubs are about the same.
  A two-person tub starts somewhere within the $4,000 price range.
  From there, prices increase depending on make, size, and added accessories.
Tip 4 - Added features Like most large purchases, a hot tub purchase invites the add-on option.
  Some tubs come suited with a flat-screen television, while other extras can come in the form of a spa umbrella or spa bar.
  Some customers can really elaborate on options and transform the ambiance of their backyard.
  The potential is there.
Tip 5 - Which provider to choose Providers are not created equally.
  It is suggested to narrow the search down to two or three providers and then compare price, convenience, add-on options, etc.
  In addition, ask about each providers' delivery and installation options.
  One provider may offer a great price on the hot tub, yet offer no delivery or installation assistance.
  Look at the whole picture before making a purchase.
