ThermoSpas Hot Tub Models and Features
Standard features found on ThermoSpas hot tubs vary by model but include easy-access digital control panels and heaters manufactured with titanium components lasting 10 times longer than conventional heaters. ThermoSpas’ lounge seats are extended to increase relaxation, and built-in therapy seats provide a deep massage. Continuous cast acrylic shells with a UV inhibitor to prevent fading are sturdier than the Gelcoat, composite acrylics, AOS plastic and vinyl the competition sells.
ThermoSpas’ seven hot tub models seat from two to eight people and use ThermoFiltration to deliver clear, clean water around the clock. Many other hot tubs use high-speed pumps that only activate twice a day for cleaning, while ThermoFiltration filters each gallon up to 144 times per day. Another plus is the filters on ThermoSpas hot tubs are easily accessed so replacing filters is never a hassle.
ThermoSpas Hot Tubs Jet Configurations
An especially notable feature you can add to some ThermoSpas models is customizable jets. ThermoSpas offers one of the most extensive selections in the industry providing a multitude of choices in the type and number of jets. Pillow jets are used for a soothing neck massage while therapy jets have adjustable powerful directional streams. Swirl jets pamper you with water swirling in a circular pattern, and pulsating, laser or whirlpool jets all deliver stronger massage options.

ThermoSpas Hot Tubs Q&A
-
What is the most popular ThermoSpas hot tub model?
ThermoSpas lists two of the seven models in their lineup as best sellers: the Concord with seating for up to four adults, and the larger Park Avenue, which seats up to five. -
How much do ThermoSpas hot tubs cost?
The prices for ThermoSpas hot tubs range widely from $4,000 up to $22,000, depending on how many features you add to the model you choose. Given the average price of an acrylic hot tub is between $11,000 and $16,000, ThermoSpas keeps prices low by selling directly to customers instead of to retailers who then mark up the price before selling. Keep in mind the price of a hot tub includes maintenance and energy used over the years. -
Does ThermoSpas sell hot tub covers for each model?
Yes, but you won’t find the covers on the ThermoSpas website. Instead, each cover is designed to specifications that fit your customized hot tub. To ensure you get the correct cover, a factory representative will advise you on the best cover for your spa configuration. -
How heavy are ThermoSpas hot tub covers?
The weight of a ThermoSpas cover varies depending on the hot tub model but is durable, sturdy and easy to remove and put into place. If the hot tub cover weight or maneuverability is a concern, ThermoSpas offers three different lift systems to make covering and uncovering the hot tub a breeze. ThermoSpas’ Thermo Lift 300 is the only cover lifting system that earned the Arthritis Foundation’s Ease of Use Commendation. -
How does ThermoSpas financing work?
ThermoSpas financing is in the form of a Wells Fargo Outdoor Solutions credit card with a no-interest or low-interest payment schedule. If you go with the no-interest financing, pay the balance off before the end of the promotional period to avoid getting billed for 28.9 percent interest accrued over the length of the term. You can apply online from the ThermoSpas website at any convenient time.
Conclusion
