Tipton Pools, serving Knoxville, Tennessee explain hot tub & space placement options
When you’re having a swimming pool constructed, the choice is usually easy — it will be out of doors. When you’re working with a hot tub or spa contractor, the choices may not be as obvious, because many houses can accommodate a hot tub or spa inside as well as they could outside of the home.
Here, from the swimming pool and hot tub contractors from Tipton Pools are items to consider when making a determination on whether the hot tub or spa will be placed out of doors or inside your home.
Indoors benefits and disadvantages
A hot tub inside the home is ideal if:
- You have the space for it
- You want to operate the hot tub in a space in which it will be easier to clean and maintain (no outside elements to consider)
A hot tub inside the home is a drawback if:
- The noise from the equipment will be bothersome
- You don’t have the correct equipment installed to mitigate potential steam damage
- You have a space dedicated to place it
- You have the plumbing and electricity in place to operate it
- You want the feeling of soaking out of doors and enjoying the benefits of nature as you do so
The drawbacks of an outdoor hot tub include:
- You have to go out of doors (even in the dead of winter) to enjoy it
- Cleaning and maintenance may cost more and be more time and labor intensive, especially if you don’t use a hot tub cover, because dirt, dust, bugs and other critters could fall in
There are benefits and drawbacks to either option and you simply need to weigh the pros and cons of each and talk with your Knoxville, Tennessee swimming pool and hot tub contractor to determine which, ultimately will be best for you.
