Purchase price and running costs"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The question \u201ehow much does a hot tub cost\" has no single answer \u2014 the price varies by size, equipment and build quality. But running costs are just as important as the purchase price. In this article we cover both, so you know what to expect.<\/p>\n<h2>What affects the purchase price of a hot tub<\/h2>\n<p>The price is mainly affected by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Size and number of seats<\/strong> \u2014 a hot tub for 2 people is significantly cheaper than a model for 6.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Model range<\/strong> \u2014 economical <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/virivky\/virivky-lite\/\">Lite<\/a>, family <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/virivky\/virivky-family\/\">Family<\/a>, premium <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/virivky\/virivky-idol\/\">Idol<\/a> or designer <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/virivky\/virivky-alexa-spas\/\">Alexa Spas<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Number of jets and pumps<\/strong> and the type of massage systems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heating method<\/strong> \u2014 <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/virivky\/volitelna-vybava-virivky\/topeni-virivky\/\">Heat pump<\/a> increases the purchase price but saves on running costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessories<\/strong> \u2014 lighting, ozonation, sound, <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/virivky\/volitelna-vybava-virivky\/termokryt-virivky\/\">thermal cover<\/a>, steps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because we make hot tubs <a href=\"\/en\/virivky\/\">of Czech production<\/a> to order, you configure it exactly to your budget \u2014 you do not overpay for features you will not use.<\/p>\n<p>As a guide, expect a hot tub purchase price of <strong>from 3 310 \u20ac to 11 580 \u20ac excl. VAT<\/strong> \u2014 from the economical Lite range to the premium and designer Idol and Alexa Spas models. The final price then depends on the chosen equipment (heating method, massage systems, lighting, thermal cover). Put together a configuration and we will promptly prepare an exact price tailored to you.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prices are excl. VAT. The final VAT rate depends on whether installation is included in the delivery.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Hot tub running costs<\/h2>\n<p>Running costs consist of three items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Electricity for heating and filtration<\/strong> \u2014 the largest part. It is fundamentally reduced by quality insulation, an insulated thermal cover and a heat pump instead of direct heating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chemicals for water treatment<\/strong> \u2014 <a href=\"\/en\/product-category\/eshop\/chemie-virivky\/\">products for hot tubs<\/a> for disinfection and pH; with ozonation or automation you use less.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water change<\/strong> \u2014 roughly once every few months depending on frequency of use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to save on running costs<\/h2>\n<p>Choose an appropriate size, invest in insulation and a quality thermal cover, opt for a heat pump and cover the hot tub whenever you are not using it. This significantly cuts heating costs. More selection tips are in the guide <a href=\"\/en\/jak-vybrat-virivku\/\">how to choose a hot tub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>I want a specific tailored price<\/h2>\n<p>We will prepare a non-binding quote exactly to your configuration. Configure your hot tub in <a href=\"\/en\/konfigurator-virivky-family\/\">configurator<\/a> or write to us via <a href=\"\/en\/kontakt-na-virivky\/\">contact<\/a> \u2014 we will get back to you with a price and a date.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>How much does the cheapest hot tub cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The most affordable models of the economical Lite range start at roughly 3 310 \u20ac excl. VAT. The price rises further with size, number of jets and chosen equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does hot tub operation cost?<\/h3>\n<p>Operation depends mainly on the quality of insulation, the set temperature and the heating method. A heat pump and an insulated thermal cover significantly reduce electricity costs.<\/p>\n<h3>Is a cheap imported hot tub worth it?<\/h3>\n<p>Often not. Cheap imports usually lack quality insulation, a long warranty, and affordable service. A Czech-made hot tub offers affordable service and a longer warranty.<\/p>\n<h3>Will you prepare a tailored quote?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Configure it in the configurator or write to us and we will prepare a non-binding quote exactly to your requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended reading:<\/strong> If you are mainly concerned about electricity bills in the cold months, also check out the article <a href=\"https:\/\/idol.cz\/en\/provoz-virivky-v-zime\/\">hot tub operation in winter<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much does a hot tub cost: what affects the purchase price and how much operation costs (electricity, water, chemicals).
