Indoor Hot Tubs vs. Outdoor Hot Tubs: Which Installation is Best?

Are you trying to decide on the perfect spa installation for your lifestyle? Both outdoor hot tubs and indoor hot tubs have a range of pros and cons. At the end of the day, it truly comes down to which is best for your home, budget and lifestyle.

Whether you want to soak in your spa under the stars or relax in the comfort and privacy of a hot tub room, your basic experience will be the same. You’ll have the chance to enjoy unwinding in heated water while receiving a soothing jet massage.

Both experiences are great. So how do you decide whether to install your hot tub inside your home or in your backyard? There is no right or wrong answer and, really, it comes down to personal preference.

To help you decide which installation is right for you, we’ve put together the benefits of both indoor and outdoor hot tubs together in this article.

The Advantages of Outdoor Hot Tubs

Location

The biggest advantage of outdoor hot tubs is, well, being outside. Fresh air is so important to your health and relaxing in your outdoor spa will ensure you receive a healthy amount. You also can enjoy soaking under the stars at night or simply enjoying the scenery during the day.

Easier Delivery and installation

No walls or doors automatically make an outdoor installation easier. While you still need to have a stable base to set your spa on as well as appropriate outdoor electrical connections, the overall installation times will be shorter as well as less expensive.

No Ventilation

Ventilation isn’t an issue when you install outdoors. Steam and humidity will simply evaporate into the air. Forget having to perform additional cleaning tasks or monitoring the installation space for mold or the growth of bacteria!

Natural Drainage

Changing water is much less of a hassle in your backyard, because you don’t have to worry about flooding into your home. You also don’t have to worry about installing additional drainage into the floor where your hot tub is installed.

The Advantages of Owning an Indoor Hot Tub

Privacy

Having your own spa room guarantees you privacy from neighbours. Even if your spa room has a lot of glass, ensuring privacy is as simple as installing blinds or curtains.

Convenience

Nothing is more convenient than using your indoor spa. No matter what the weather, you can stroll to your hot tub in just your bathing suit without any discomfort.

Protection

Having your spa inside means you don’t have to worry about scraping snow or ice off of it after every storm. It’s also much easier to monitor your hot tub and keep it clean from dirt and debris. This means that the water inside your hot tub will stay cleaner and likely require a little less maintenance than outdoor hot tubs would.
