Which 5-seater jacuzzi should you choose: rigid or semi-rigid?

Creating a true oasis of wellness at home often begins with installing a hot tub . And when it comes time to decide on a 5-seater hot tub, many options arise. Between rigid and semi-rigid models, each offers unique advantages depending on your intended use, the available space, and your comfort expectations. In this article, we'll tell you everything you need to know to choose the best 5-person hot tub and enjoy personalized moments of relaxation, both with family and friends.

What is a 5-seater semi-rigid hot tub ?

The semi-rigid hot tub is a cross between an inflatable jacuzzi and a rigid one. Thanks to its high-density PVC-coated foam structure, it offers excellent thermal insulation while remaining lightweight. It's easy to assemble (in less than 20 minutes) and can be moved around easily, making it a perfect solution for those looking for something comfortable and versatile.

How long does a semi-rigid hot tub last?

A semi-rigid 5-person hot tub can last between 5 and 10 years , depending on the quality of the materials and the maintenance it receives. Although it's less robust than a rigid hot tub, its lifespan far exceeds that of inflatable hot tubs, which rarely last more than three years.

To extend its durability, we recommend:

• Clean the walls regularly
• Control pH and disinfect water with active oxygen
• Protect it from the sun, rain and extreme cold

The 5-seater rigid Jacuzzi: luxury and high performance

If you're looking for excellence and durability, the rigid 5-person Jacuzzi is, without a doubt, the best choice . Its reinforced acrylic shell, thoughtful design, and professional massage system make every session a superior wellness experience.

How long does a rigid hot tub last?

A well-maintained hard-shell hot tub can last 15 to 20 years , and even longer for premium models. The lifespan depends on several factors:

• Quality of materials (acrylic, insulation, technical components)
• Regular maintenance (filter cleaning, water chemical balance)
• Protected installation (on a firm base, under a pergola or cover)

Choosing a properly installed in-ground or fixed hot tub guarantees a long and stable lifespan, even with intensive use and adverse weather conditions.

• Strength: high-end materials for superior durability
• Premium design: Add an elegant touch to your terrace or garden
• Use at any time of the year: perfect even in winter thanks to its excellent insulation
