Choosing a jacuzzi is a decision that combines well-being, comfort, and a long-term investment. At Aquavia Spa , as a European manufacturer specializing in private hot tubs and swimspas , we believe that a purchase should be based on clear information and objective criteria, avoiding unrealistic promises and focusing on what truly defines a quality jacuzzi. In this guide, you will find the essential aspects to help you navigate the jacuzzi buying process and make the right decision for your project.
What to consider before buying a jacuzzi?
Before starting the process, it is key to have three elements clear:
- Intended use: Determining whether it will be a hot tub for relaxation, daily use, therapeutic sessions or family gatherings completely changes the type of ideal equipment.
- Available space: This isn't just about square footage, but also about access, surface area, ventilation (if indoors), and final location. Planning prevents installation problems.
- The overall investment: A jacuzzi involves equipment, installation, energy consumption, and maintenance. It's advisable to consider the total cost of ownership, not just the initial price.
- After-sales service: Having fast and efficient after-sales service is essential to guarantee a worry-free experience. Good technical support allows you to resolve doubts, manage maintenance, supply spare parts, and address any issues quickly. Choosing a manufacturer with a robust support network ensures your hot tub will always be in optimal condition and extends its lifespan.
Having these points defined allows you to move towards a more precise purchase that is adapted to your real needs.

Types of jacuzzis available on the market
The market offers different categories, each with specific advantages depending on the type of user:
- Portable spas
They are the most common choice for homes thanks to their practicality. They require no construction work, allow for quick installation, and offer multiple configurations to suit any space. At Aquavia Spa , we manufacture high-quality rigid hot tubs , designed to offer maximum efficiency, durability, and comfort from day one. - Built-in Jacuzzis
They are designed to integrate seamlessly into terraces, gardens, or interior spaces, achieving an elegant and fully customized architectural finish. They require prior planning and more technical installation, but the result is a flawless, high-end visual integration. - Swim spas
They combine a counter-current swimming system with hydromassage zones, offering an ideal hybrid solution for those who want to train and relax in the same space. They are perfect for athletes, families, or users looking for versatility.

How to choose the ideal size and capacity for your jacuzzi
Selecting the right capacity involves more than just deciding how many people will use the jacuzzi ; it also influences comfort, ergonomics, energy consumption, and the type of experience you want to enjoy. Choosing the right size is key to ensuring optimal use both indoors and on patios or in gardens.
- 2-3 person Jacuzzis → Perfect for couples, small apartments, or limited spaces. They are compact, consume less energy, and offer an intimate experience without sacrificing quality hydromassage.
- 4-5 person Jacuzzis → The most balanced and popular option. They combine versatility and comfort, ideal for small families or for those who want to entertain without taking up too much space.
- Jacuzzis for 6 people or more → Designed for gardens, porches, or large outdoor areas. They are the best choice for large families, social gatherings, or professional projects (country houses, tourist accommodations, etc.).
At Aquavia Spa we prioritize advanced ergonomics in all our models. Each seat and lounger is designed to adapt to the body and direct the hydromassage to key areas (lower back, neck, upper back, legs, etc.), guaranteeing a comfortable and therapeutic experience regardless of the hot tub 's size.
Essential features of a quality jacuzzi:
- Materials and structure
The quality of a hot tub begins with its construction. A good hot tub should have a robust structure, top-quality acrylic, and durable finishes capable of withstanding humidity, heavy use, and, in the case of outdoor models, harsh weather conditions. This guarantees stability, durability, and an impeccable aesthetic finish for years to come. - Thermal insulation
Insulation is one of the factors that most influences energy consumption. A well-insulated jacuzzi keeps the water hot for longer, reduces heat loss, and optimizes the use of the heating system. This translates into significant electricity savings throughout the year, especially for outdoor installations. - Hydromassage
The quality of a hydromassage depends not on the number of jets, but on their distribution, type, and power balance. A good design directs the massage to key areas of the body (lower back, neck, upper back, legs), offering truly therapeutic sessions instead of just a simple bubble effect. - Filtration and disinfection
Maintaining the water in perfect condition is essential. The best hot tubs incorporate automatic filtration and disinfection systems, which simplify maintenance and guarantee a safe and hygienic experience. An efficient system extends the hot tub 's lifespan and reduces the use of chemicals. - Control technology
Quality control panels allow you to manage all the jacuzzi's functions—temperature, filtration cycles, lighting, and hydromassage programs—precisely, intuitively, and reliably. The right technology enhances the daily experience and reduces long-term problems.
Where to buy a jacuzzi with a warranty and professional service
Choosing the right retailer is just as important as choosing the right model. For a safe and lasting purchase, it's essential to use authorized dealers who can offer:
- Expert technical advice before you buy.
- Professional and certified installation , adapted to each type of space.
- Quick access to official spare parts and technical solutions.
- Real warranty , backed directly by the manufacturer.
At Aquavia Spa we work exclusively with specialized distributors, ensuring that each customer receives complete support before, during and after the purchase.
Differences between an indoor jacuzzi and an outdoor jacuzzi
The location determines the type of jacuzzi you need and the technical requirements for installation.
Indoor Jacuzzi
Ideal for those seeking privacy and year-round comfort. Please note:
- Adequate ventilation.
- Humidity management to prevent condensation.
- Drainage and moisture-resistant surface.
Outdoor Jacuzzi
Perfect for terraces, patios, and gardens. For optimal performance, it needs:
- Advanced thermal insulation to maintain temperature.
- Protection against rain, cold and solar radiation.
- A solid, level, and sturdy base.
Both indoors and outdoors, Aquavia Spa designs jacuzzis prepared for continuous and demanding use, with structures and finishes that guarantee resistance and durability.
Common mistakes when buying a jacuzzi and how to avoid them
In the process of buying hot tub or jacuzzi, these mistakes frequently occur:
- Choosing solely based on price, sacrificing quality , service, and durability.
- Not measuring the space correctly or verifying access for installation.
- Thinking that more jets mean better hydromassage (quality matters more than quantity).
- Not checking the warranty , technical support, or the availability of spare parts.
- Not considering actual energy consumption or insulation efficiency.
- Not checking if the brand has an effective after-sales service.
Avoiding these mistakes ensures a safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting purchase.

Tips for installing your jacuzzi safely and efficiently
Proper installation is key to ensuring the performance, safety, and durability of your hot tub. Following these recommendations will help you avoid future problems and enjoy an optimal experience from day one:
- Install the jacuzzi on a firm and perfectly level base , capable of supporting the weight of the hot tub full of water and in operation.
- Ensure a professional electrical installation , compliant with regulations and with adequate differential protection.
- Leave enough space around the jacuzzi for maintenance , ventilation, and access to technical components.
- Protect the hot tub if it is outdoors using thermal covers, pergolas or enclosures that reduce exposure to the weather and improve energy efficiency.
- Have the commissioning carried out by authorized technicians , ensuring that the hydromassage, filtration and air conditioning work correctly from the start.
