You’ll probably spend more on your daily cup of coffee. Hot tub costs can differ based on climate, model, and usage, but typical monthly electrical costs are in the $10 to $18 range. Plus, when you buy a hot tub that uses quality materials and the latest technology, you’ll save on maintenance, repairs, and energy costs in the long term.

That really depends on the spa. Our smaller models will hold around 240 gallons of water while a larger spa might hold 540 gallons. If you have a particular spa in mind, message us and we'll be happy to get you that information!

Thanks to advanced water purification and filtration systems, hot tub maintenance is easier than ever—routine tasks take just a few minutes a week. When we surveyed current owners about basic hot tub maintenance, nearly all of them said it was easy! Here’s a quick summary of how to maintain a hot tub:

• Water: Check the chemical levels weekly with test strips and adjust them by adding the appropriate products per your owner’s manual—no chemistry expertise necessary. Drain and refills are only needed every 4 months, based on use.
• Filter: Rinse and clean filters with a garden hose or filter flosser once per month. Replace as needed.
• Cover: Use a cover to help keep your water warm and clean. It will protect your hot tub from debris and weather elements.

Industry research shows that more than 76% of owners use their hot tub at least two times per week. Another survey found 98% of Bullfrog Spa owners would recommend purchasing one to their friends and family. Current owners will certainly tell you it’s worth it!

A hot tub is usually a standalone, above-ground unit designed mainly for relaxation. A spa can refer to a hot tub, but often implies a more built-in, customized, or therapeutic experience.

In everyday conversation, people often use the terms interchangeably, especially in the backyard/pool industry.
