How big is an 8-person hot tub?
The middle of this group measures 94 x 93.5 x 38 in. The smallest footprint is the Bullfrog Spas A7 at 7′4″ × 7′4″; the largest is the Wellis Olympus Life at 11′8″ × 7′7″. Measure the spot with room left over for the steps and the cover when it's off. Every seat count and size, side by side, is on the hot tub sizes page.
Full, the typical tub here weighs 5,929 lb (most makers count the tub and its water; some add people). That load sits on the pad, so read the maker's site-prep page before you choose a spot; the hot tub weight page has the figure for every model.
What to check in the showroom
- Sit in every seat, dry is fine. A seat count is how many people fit, not how many are comfortable with legs out.
- Ask for the filled weight and the electrical spec on paper before you plan the pad and the circuit.
- Read the warranty card for the shell, the equipment and the labor terms.
