Hello World! Welcome Friends! After a busy day, but also every time you need to relax and spend some time with yourself, the first thing that comes to mind is a relaxing bath. At this link, see how lying in a bathtub full of hot water relaxes your body. And if you want something even better, upgrade your enjoyment with an outdoor jacuzzi that you can install (or build) in your back yard.
This type of hot tub is made of vinyl or acrylic, with extra hydromassage function for your greater pleasure. Staying in it also has numerous health benefits of hydro-therapies – it helps to relieve pain, relax tight muscles, as well as their recovery. Aside from hot water therapy, you can also do cold water therapy or commonly known as contrast bath therapy. A contrast bath therapy not just brings relaxation to your body but also your mind.
And all those bubbles have a positive effect on your mental health. Bathing in hot water will make you happier, because your body will, thanks to the expansion of blood vessels and faster circulation, accelerate the production of endorphins (the so-called happiness hormone).
Built-In or Portable Hot Tub
If you have room and financial ability to afford an outdoor jacuzzi, you should do that. Since the hot tub in the backyard became an increasingly common sight, it seems that having this ‘personal pool’ is no longer a matter of prestige but necessity. Considering all the health benefits of hydromassages, investing in this equipment is really worth it.
If you decided to buy, and not to make, the outdoor jacuzzi on your own, you should know there are two models on the market. You can choose between portable or in-ground tubs, and the names themselves suggest differences between them.
What you have to consider when choosing an outdoor jacuzzi is the size of the yard, the configuration of the grounds, the proximity of the water and electricity sources, the accessibility of the place where you plan to place the tub, etc.
Portability Is an Advantage, In-Ground Models Are More Attractive
Portable hot tubs are the choice of most homeowners who want to turn one part of their backyard into a personal spa. In addition to being able to move as needed (which comes in handy during the winter, when you can place the vat closer to home), these models are more adaptable to different terrain configurations.
A model with the permanent installation by the pool looks very attractive and gives a touch of luxury to your house. It is much more expensive but also a more lasting investment. As seen on Instylehottubs.com, today’s in-ground hot tubs offer a variety of hydromassage options, ergonomic seating, filter and water care, etc.
It is advisable to pay a little more for a model with a higher degree of energy efficiency. Hot tubs are significant energy consumers, especially if you opt for a model programmed to operate non-stop (there is no heating of the water, but it is always at the right temperature).
Portable hot tubs are the more affordable choice, especially since all the necessary add-ons are already built into them. For in-ground models, all additional equipment is in a separate location, which can increase the total installation expenses.
Position Requirements
When you buy hot tubs from reputable manufacturers, they usually offer you installation services. Also, you can do this job yourself, if you’re skilled with the tool. The premise is that before purchasing, you have checked that the desired location in your backyard meets all the requirements for installing an outdoor jacuzzi.
The location of the hot tub should be accessible so that the delivery crew can get there along with the cart. If you need a crane delivery, count on the extra expenses. Also, this location should be accessible to make entering the vat easier. Or if you want to add some things like a minibar, a table, or just to decorate the tub surrounding, you will definitely need more space.
If your yard is paved, you don’t have to worry about where to put the jacuzzi. The only important thing is that the surface does not have a slope (the angle of a few degrees is tolerated). But if you don’t have solid surfaces in the back yard, the hot tub will probably need to be placed on a separate platform.

Installation Requirements
For the outdoor jacuzzi to work flawlessly, it is advisable to have an electrical outlet nearby – the further the distance from the power source, the greater the chance of some downtime. Depending on the electric configuration of the selected bathtub model (110 or 220 volts), you will adjust the jack. For models that require higher voltage, you will most likely need the help of an electrician, who will fit the power source to the power consumption of outdoor jacuzzi.
Also, the water supply should be somewhere near you. Although you’ll rarely fill your tub (because you’ll use a variety of filters and purifiers), you never know when you’ll need to refill it. Make sure you always have a garden hose attached to an outdoor fountain nearby.
There are many creative ways to make your backyard a place for you, hidden from curious views and noise. The realization of your idea will depend on your space and financial capabilities. Still, with so many models of the outdoor jacuzzi on the market, anyone can find something for themselves. Creating your personal spa has never been more accessible and affordable.
