You may spend more on your daily coffee than you would on running a hot tub. While operating costs can vary depending on factors like climate, model, and frequency of use, the average monthly electricity bill for a hot tub typically falls between $10 and $20. Investing in a high-quality hot tub with advanced technology can also reduce maintenance, lower energy consumption, and help you avoid the high costs of replacing saltwater systems over time.

The prices listed on this site reflect the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), but your local dealer may offer special pricing, bundles, and promotions, often passing on savings from bulk purchases. For the latest offers, be sure to visit your nearest Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs dealer.

It’s important to ensure you have a solid foundation and meet the necessary electrical requirements before installing a hot tub. Your authorized Jacuzzi® dealer will guide you through the process and connect you with a professional installer to ensure everything is set up correctly. You can also watch the video below to see what to expect during the installation.

To help make the installation process as smooth as possible, here are a few tips:

• Check with your HOA, as well as city and county regulations, and secure any required permits.
• Choose a sturdy foundation that can support the hot tub, allows for proper drainage, and complements your outdoor space.
• Select the ideal location, keeping in mind that you’ll need space for maintenance access and room to entertain.
• Keep a copy of our Pre-Installation Checklist on hand to ensure everything is covered.

Thanks to modern water management and filtration systems, keeping a hot tub in top condition is now simpler than ever with most routine tasks only taking a few minutes each week. In fact, when we surveyed current hot tub owners, nearly all of them said basic maintenance was simple! Here’s a quick breakdown of how to care for your hot tub:

• Water: Use test strips to check chemical levels weekly and adjust them according to your owner’s manual—no special knowledge of chemistry needed. Draining and refilling your hot tub is only required every 3–4 months, depending on usage.
• Filter: Clean the filters once a month by rinsing them with a garden hose or filter flosser. Replace the filters when necessary.
• Cover: A cover helps retain heat and keep the water clean by protecting your hot tub from debris and weather. It’s an easy way to ensure your hot tub stays in top condition.
