Buying your very first spa hot tub or swimming pool can be an exciting but confusing experience. I remember buying my very first hot tub, the choice was not vast back then unlike today. I think if I remember correctly we had a choice of a small square spa, a round spa or a large square spa with a lounger and a choice of blue, blue or blue as the colour.

Well things have moved on since then and today we have a vast choice of spa hot tubs, swimming pools, swim spas, endless pools and so with a choice of size and shape, mood lighting, waterfalls and CD, DVD & MP3 entertainment systems and so on.

Here we will try and guide you in the right direction and introduce you to the more well known, better built, well established quality Manufactures and Dealers across the UK.

Hot Tub News - Hot tub prices are set to rise by 20 to 25% during 2009 as exchange rates weaken and the cost of raw materials continue to rise. If you are thinking about a tub, think about buying it soon before prices rise.

Beware the last year or so has seen a number of cheap (or should I say crap) and I do mean cheap spa hot tubs come into the UK and some still appear to be getting sold online and via auction websites, many being advertised with a RRP of Ł6,000 to Ł10,000 and being offered for sale around Ł2,500 to Ł5,500 however these so called businesses are now shutting down quickly or being shut down. Having seen some of these spas I would not pay any more than Ł1,000 for them. Don't get me wrong there are some spas which retail for under Ł3,000 which are good, but they are not being sold as a Ł6,000 spa with 50% off. You don't get anything for nothing.

Also note - do not expect these spas to last and do not expect any thing to done under warranty - that's if you get the tub.

Buy from a spa dealer who has been in business at least 3 years selling spa hot tubs under the same name. It's your hard earned money why risk loosing it.

Happy browsing and don't enjoy your first hot tub party to much.
