WHICH IS THE BEST HOT TUB BRAND? PART 3: FEATURES

For part 3 of “Which is the best hot tub brand,” we’re talking about features! The hot tubs of today have been taken to another level in every way. When it comes to features, some may be standard, optional, or limited to specific hot tub models. Or, there may be exclusive deals on particular combinations. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular hot tub features.

1/ Lighting: While all hot tubs include basic spa lights, some brands offer upgraded multipoint lighting. This typically includes additional multicolor LEDs, variable lighting modes, and may include accent lights on the spa exterior. In practical terms, this helps to improve nighttime visibility, enhance the beauty of a spa, and supplement stress relief and relaxation. 

2/ Waterfalls or fountains: This adds a measure of fun and ambiance during hydrotherapy, especially the sound of running water. Some hot tub brands offer this as an option. The best hot tub brands integrate the lighting system to infuse the waterfall or fountains with color. Waterfalls or fountains are standard on most Marquis hot tub models and are always integrated with multicolor LEDs when paired with optional multipoint accent lighting.

3/ Reflexology footwell: Often overlooked, this simple design detail provides a textured surface in the footwell of a hot tub to massage tired feet. Walking on reflexology footpaths on dry land has been shown to stimulate neurological reflex zones on the foot. In the heated water of a hot tub, this same principle helps to relieve foot soreness and symptoms of plantar fasciitis. All Marquis hot tubs offer some form of reflexology footwell.

4/ Full Foam Insulation: Keeping cold air away from a hot tub’s interior reduces heat loss and saves money on electric bills. Insulation also solidifies the overall construction and helps the spa to run quieter.

  • Signature Series: Standard feature on all models.

  • Vector21 Series: Optional upgrade to the standard foam-over plumbing on all models.

  • Celebrity Elite Series: Optional upgrade to the standard foam-over plumbing on all models. 

  • Celebrity: Option not available. Standard foam-over plumbing on all models (USA only).

5/ Jets: By design, every Marquis hot tub is a perfectly-balanced system. Jet sizes, jet counts, jet styles, jet types, and jet placements match the pump configuration and water delivery system to achieve the best-feeling hydrotherapy. The result is a feeling of deep muscle penetration without skin discomfort and a more relaxing and beneficial hot tub experience. Some examples are: 

  • Signature Hydro Kinetic (HK™) Jets

  • Geyser jets

  • VECTOR21 Jetpods

  • Specialized Massage Seats

  • WHITEWATER-4™ Jet
