When you decide to get a hot tub your first decision will be to decide if you want an inground or above ground tub. For the inground hot tubs you will have to know that it will, most likely, become a permanent fixture of the home because it is complicated and expensive to try to remove it. I personally like inground hot tubs where my neighbors seem to prefer the above ground kinds. It is really a matter of personal preference. I like the one major benefit an in ground tub has is that it is able to conserve more energy because there is less heat loss.
