There are two main types of above-ground hot tubs: traditional hot tubs that can be used for recreation or therapy and swim spas that provide seating along with a small area that allows you to swim in place. One way to think of a swim spa is as a space saver for someone who would like to use a pool for exercise.

Once you’ve decided between the two options, you’ll want to look deeper into the features available in Lansing for hot tubs. Models can vary in materials, seating arrangements and massage jet options, and what works best for you may depend on how you intend to use your new hot tub. A hot tub that will be used mostly for recreation will need to seat more people, and one intended for therapy may need special massage jets.
Here are a few things to consider as you shop for hot tubs available in Lansing:
Pricing | Size and features will determine the price range, but a quality hot tub will generally cost between $2,000 to more than $15,000. |
Material options | Hot tub shells made of vinyl are cheaper but easily damaged and energy inefficient. Rotomolded plastic is more durable but may have difficulty retaining heat. Acrylic is durable and energy efficient, but it is also expensive. Foam insulation will help hold water heat during Lansing’s winters. |
Seating | Find a hot tub with the number of seats and jet placement appropriate for your needs. |
Jet options | More is not always better. The best jets are full-size, adjustable and upgradable. Hot tubs with around 50 or more jets require pumps that need more power. |
Warranty | All products should be covered by a manufacturer warranty. Compare the warranty on different products and pay attention to the length and extent of coverage. |
Installation | Unless you have experience, attempting to install a hot tub yourself will likely create problems. Purchasing your hot tub from a dealer that provides installation and delivery service makes the process easier and protects your new purchase. Installation usually costs between $150 and $500. |
Installing and maintaining your hot tub
You’re required to obtain a permit for hot tubs that are more than 24 inches deep in Michigan, but individual townships such as Eaton County, Delta Township or East Lansing may have additional requirements. Many hot tubs work with a standard 120-volt outlet, but larger hot tubs may require hiring a licensed electrician to install a 240-volt outlet. If you do, areas such as Meridian Township may require an electrical inspection.
Above-ground hot tubs rarely require any plumbing modifications to your home. Most are filled with a garden hose and only need to be occasionally drained and refilled.
Your hot tub dealer may offer maintenance service for your hot tub, but you can also choose to do the maintenance yourself. If you decide to perform your own maintenance, ask your dealer for tips and check to see if they offer free water testing.
