The question “how much does a hot tub cost” has no single answer — the price varies depending on its size, features and build quality. However, running costs are just as important as the purchase price. In this article, we examine both so you know what to expect.
What affects the purchase price of a hot tub
The price is primarily determined by:
- Size and number of seats — a hot tub for 2 people is significantly cheaper than a model for 6 people.
- Model range — the economical Lite, family-oriented Family, premium Idol or designer Alexa Spas.
- Number of jets and pumps and the type of massage systems.
- Heating method — a heat pump increases the purchase price but reduces running costs.
- Accessories — lighting, ozonation, sound, thermal cover, steps.
Because we manufacture custom-made Czech-made hot tubs, you can configure yours precisely to suit your budget — without overpaying for features you will not use.
As a guide, expect a hot tub purchase price of 80 000 Kč to 280 000 Kč excluding VAT — from the economical Lite range to premium and designer Idol and Alexa Spas models. The final price then depends on the selected features (heating method, massage systems, lighting, thermal cover). Create your configuration and we will promptly prepare an exact tailored price for you.
Prices are stated excluding VAT. The final VAT rate varies depending on whether installation is included in the delivery.
Hot tub running costs
Running costs consist of three items:
- Electricity for heating and filtration — the largest part. It is significantly reduced by high-quality insulation, an insulated thermal cover and a heat pump instead of direct electric heating.
- Water care products — hot tub products for sanitisation and pH adjustment; ozonation or automation reduces consumption.
- Water replacement — typically once every few months, depending on how frequently the hot tub is used.
How to save on running costs
Choose an appropriate size, invest in insulation and a high-quality thermal cover, opt for a heat pump and cover the hot tub whenever you are not using it. This will significantly reduce heating costs. You can find more selection tips in our guide on how to choose a hot tub.
