Essential Hot Tub FAQ: What Every Buyer Should Know

Do you have questions about buying or maintaining a hot tub?

At Be Well Canada Spa, we know that a spa is more than just a purchase—it’s an investment in your well-being, your comfort, and your daily life. To help you make the right choice, we’ve gathered answers to the most frequently asked questions.

10 Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Tubs

1. How much does a hot tub cost?

The price depends on the size, features, and options selected. At Be Well, we offer high-quality, affordable spas for every budget—without compromising on comfort. In general, prices range between $6,000 and $20,000 depending on the model and customization.

2. How much does a hot tub weigh?

It depends on the model and whether it’s filled with water. For example, a small 2-seater spa may weigh around 800 lbs when empty and nearly 3,000 lbs when filled, while a large family spa can exceed 4,000 lbs when full. A solid, level base is essential.

3. How do you install a hot tub?

A spa must be placed on a stable, level surface that can support its weight. Once the area is prepared, installation is quick and usually completed in a single day. An authorized dealer can assess your space and guide you throughout the process.

4. Are hot tubs good for your health?

Yes! Hot tubs are an excellent tool for relaxation and well-being. Benefits include:

• Stress and muscle tension relief

• Improved sleep

• Stimulated blood circulation

  
  

If you have specific health concerns, always consult your doctor, but for most people, a spa is a true ally for wellness.

5. What is the temperature of a hot tub?

The maximum safe temperature is 40°C (104°F). Most users prefer water between 37–39°C, which is ideal for hydrotherapy and relaxation.

6. How long should you stay in a hot tub?

The recommended duration is 15 to 20 minutes. If the water is cooler, you can stay longer. The key is to listen to your body and take breaks.

7. How do you clean a hot tub filter?

Regular cleaning is essential—about once a month. To clean:

• Turn off the spa and remove the filter

• Rinse with a garden hose

• For a deeper clean, soak overnight in a special cleaning solution, then rinse thoroughly

  
  

A well-maintained filter can last around 12 months.

8. Do you need to winterize a hot tub?

Be Well spas are designed for year-round use—even in Canadian winters. With strong insulation and high-quality covers, they remain warm and efficient even in extreme cold. If you still choose to winterize, the spa must be completely drained and the manual’s instructions followed carefully.

9. How long does a hot tub last?

A well-maintained Be Well spa can last 10 years or more. Like a car, longevity depends on care, but the quality of materials ensures excellent durability.

10. Where can you buy a Be Well spa?

Be Well spas are distributed through a trusted dealer network. There, you can see different models, compare options, and receive personalized advice to find the spa that suits you best.
