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.
