While nothing can replace checking out a hot tub or swim spa in person, our comparison chart can help you narrow down the brands you might want to see for yourself. We’ve highlighted the features we think are important and broken down which brands offer them. Some are standard features, while others are options available for an additional cost; check with your local dealer to determine what comes standard. You’ll also see which manufacturers have our TradeCertified™ endorsement. We have thoroughly reviewed these companies to ensure they meet certain manufacturing and customer service benchmarks. To learn more about this program and the TradeCertified companies, see page 55.
