As you shop for a hot tub, you will find a lot of models ready for purchase. Once you pick a size and style you like, you have the option to personalize the purchase and make selections based on your interests and needs. Custom options can transform the way you enjoy a hot tub and provide some key features.



Before making your final purchase decision, check out some of the ways to customize your hot tub and what options are available.

1. Cabinet Colors

The cabinet of a hot tub is the outer shell. The color that comes on a hot tub is often not the only option available. Whether you place a hot tub on a standard deck, pool deck, or other area, you can select a cabinet color to match other decor. You do not need the hot tub to stick out when it blend with other options.

Choose a darker tone to match dark patio furniture options. Along with the cabinet color, the hot tub cover will often come in the same color as the cabinet so every element has a cohesive design.

2. Shell Colors

Along with the cabinet, you have multiple color options for the shell of the hot tub. The shell is the inner lining of a hot tub and one of the main visuals you will have when you lounge in the water. The theme you choose could make a difference depending on the time of day.

For example, at night, it will be easier to see in the water with a lighter shell. A darker shell is not as reflective and can provide a fun and moody atmosphere. Ultimately, the shell is more about a visual preference. Many online shops allow you to visualize the difference with interactive photos or videos that showcase the product designs.

3. Cover Lifters

If you plan on using a hot tub alone a lot, then lifting off the cover each time can be a hassle. Easily lift a cover and keep it close with the use of a cover lifter. The built-in lift tool keeps the cover connected to the hot tub so you do not need to place it on the ground or in a different location. The mount also makes it easy for a single person to lift the cover.

The addition of a cover lifter will save a lot of time each time you go to use the hot tub. The process also prevents a lot of wear and tear on the hot tub cover. You do not have to drag the cover or put it onto hard surfaces like wood or cement.

Getting the installation done at the time of your initial purchase is the easiest way to include the mounts and avoid any problems in the future.

4. Canopies

A canopy built to cover the whole area of your hot tub provides all types of weather benefits. The canopy itself is typically mounted near the exterior corner of the hot tub cabinet and extends out and over the hot tub. During rainy or snowy weather, you can still enjoy the hot tub without extra precipitation.

During sunny weather, you have the opportunity to enjoy the hot tub without excess access to sunlight. You do not have to worry about constantly squinting in harsh light or other problems like sunburn.

5. Hangers & Rails

Add other small accessories to a hot tub purchase. A rail will help you maintain balance and control when you enter or exit the hot tub. Even if you have good mobility, wet feet could easily cause slips and a rail is a nice safeguard to prevent accidents.

You can also have a hanging rack connected to a rail or installed near the hot tub. The rack provides you with an easy way to hang towels or clothes. Access the items that you need quickly when you get out of the hot tub.
