It’s only when you begin to shop for a hot tub for your Sydney backyard that you realise just how many different brand and model options are out there.
Many potential owners recognise that the best hot tubs in Sydney are investments that pay themselves back over time.
So what are the best hot tubs in Sydney? What factors contribute to the quality of a hot tub, and why should you even choose the best in the first place?
In this guide we’ll answer all those questions and more.
Why choose the best hot tubs in Sydney?
Hot tubs, spa pools and Jacuzzis form a surprisingly broad product category. There are a wealth of brands who offer hot tubs in Australia, each of which has a full range of models to choose from.
With so much choice available, many prospective owners ask an understandable question: why should I opt for the very best hot tub, when a cheaper machine could do potentially the same job?
The answer is simple: over the long term, the best hot tubs can also turn out to be the cheapest hot tubs. Sure, the best hot tubs will have a higher sticker price, but once that upfront cost is dealt with:
- They are far more efficient to run, using less power, less water and fewer chemicals.
- They don’t break down as often, saving you money on repairs and spare parts.
- They last longer – you might need to replace a cheap and cheerful hot tub two or three times over the lifespan of a high quality option.
- If you value your time, automated water care technologies can save you a lot of it.
In short, the best hot tubs in Sydney won’t just offer the finest soaking and ownership experiences. They can ultimately save you real cash.
6 factors that define the best hot tubs
How do you tell the best from the rest when shopping for hot tubs? Here are the main traits that the best hot tubs in Sydney share:
1. Brand reputation
The first and most obvious place to start when shopping for the best hot tubs in Sydney is to find a brand that is well respected and that has a proven track record.
Hot tubs are a relatively new product category, at least in Australia. That means that there are plenty of brands who haven’t exactly proven themselves over time.
At Hot Spring we’ve been proving the quality of our machines since 1980. As Australasia’s oldest and most trusted hot tub company, you can be confident that you’re investing in a quality machine from a quality brand.
2. Build quality and warranty
The best hot tubs in Sydney are built to last. They’re made from high quality materials that can stand up to whatever you or the Sydney weather can throw at them.
Be wary of hot tub warranties. Different warranties usually apply to different parts (structure, components, etc.), and some will feature tricky exclusions and loopholes. Be particularly sceptical of brands that offer warranties that are longer than the company’s history.
At Hot Spring we use the highest quality materials and the latest production techniques to create spas that last. Our closed cell acrylic hot tub shells, for example, are more than twice as thick as the cast acrylic shells used by most manufacturers.
3. Energy efficiency
One of the key reasons to choose a high quality hot tub is to reduce the money you spend to power your hot tub. Sydney’s best machines will feature dense insulation that completely fills the cabinet and cover, to keep more heat in and to reduce the amount of work that the heater has to do.
The best hot tubs in Sydney will also feature quality componentry and clever tech that does more with less.
At Hot Spring we make the most energy efficient hot tubs not just in Sydney, but in Australia, as proven by independent lab testing. You can power your high-end hot tub for as little as $1 a day.
4. Hydromassage experience
When your hot tub delivers a high-end hydromassage, you enjoy enhanced health, wellness and relaxation. You also use it more, so get better value out of your investment.
At Hot Spring we’ve spent decades leading the way in hot tub hydromassage, through innovations like Moto-Massage, the world’s first (and only) moving jet. Our spas are packed with fully adjustable, precision-engineered jets that are strategically placed for maximum effect, creating a soaking experience that you have to feel to believe.
5. Water care technology
The very best hot tubs are designed to minimise work and maximise play, through clever systems that automate maintenance and upkeep, particularly in terms of water care.
Case in point: FreshWater IQ, Hot Spring’s latest revolution in hot tub ownership. This system automatically tests the chemical balance and composition of your water every single hour. If an improvement can be made it lets you know via a built-in digital display. It can even work with our FreshWater Salt System – another revolutionary technology – to deliver the exact dose of sanitiser your spa needs, exactly when it needs it.
6. Design and aesthetics
It might go without saying, but the very best hot tubs in Sydney are also the most stunning in Sydney.
As residents of one of the world’s major cosmopolitan cities, Sydneysiders are tastemakers, trend-setters, discerning souls with a finger on the fashion pulse. It’s why designer hot tubs, like those in the Hot Spring Highlife collection, are so popular here.
The best hot tub in Sydney? It’s got to be a Hot Spring.
