Inflatable hot tubs are gaining popularity because of how affordable they are. People have realized that inflatable hot tubs are viable permanent alternatives to traditional hard-walled hot tubs. For many people, spending a couple thousands of dollars on a regular hot tub would not be a responsible financial decision so owning a spa would most likely be out of the question. But, inflatable hot tubs cost a fraction of the price of a traditional hot tub. This means people who wanted a spa, but originally couldn't afford one, can now be back in the market.
Once people start researching inflatable hot tubs, they quickly realize that choosing the best inflatable spa is no easy task. There are now quite a few different brands that manufacture them, and there are various options that you can elect to purchase, so it is important to read some trustworthy top inflatable hot tub reviews. One of the more important decisions that you will need to to make when deciding which inflatable hot tub is best for you, is whether or not you want a tub with jets. A base-model inflatable hot tub does not have jets. Most inflatable hot tubs have a bubble massage air jet instead of traditional hydro jets. Air jets pump air into the water, instead of water. As air is pumped into the water, tiny bubbles form and rise to the top. This process shakes the water vigorously, creating a nice jet like sensation. Air jets are nice, but they do not provide the massage like sensations that hydro jets can provide. Some of the best inflatable hot tubs also have actual hydro jets, in addition to air jets. Hydro jets are wonderful, and really make it so you can't tell the difference between soaking in a hard-walled hot tub, or an inflatable hot tub. If you didn't have to worry about any of the maintenance issues or price issues, I would always suggest that you get a tub with real hydro jets. But, there are some drawbacks that come with hydro jets. The first, and most important drawback is their price. In order to add hydro jets to an inflatable hot tub, the manufacturer needs to add an additional water pump and internal duct work. The additional hardware can cost an additional $300, which is significant whenever you consider that inflatable hot tubs usually only cost $400. The other issue to consider is maintenance. Bacteria likes to grow in areas like duct work, so if you get a tub with jets, you will need to make sure you flush your tub more often. All in all, I would say that the decision that you are going to have to make is which is more important to you: Luxury or Affordability. Hydro jets are a lavish addition to any tub, but the air jets that ship with a base model tub are still sufficient for a pleasant soaking experience. Good luck with your inflatable hot tub purchase!
