There are several types of portable hot tubs available. No matter which type is purchased, a portable hot tub is a great investment for any time of the year. Firstly, portable ones are lot less expensive than permanent ones. Secondly, these hot tubs are great space savers. Finally, portable hot tubs can be carried around anywhere. Here are different types of portable hot tubs that you need to know before buying one.

1. Inflatable Hot Tubs
As the name suggests, these portable hot tubs need to be blown up and filled with water. These are basically made from commercial grade plastic-based material. So, these types of hot tubs are tough, sturdy, as well as durable. If used and stored properly, inflatable hot tubs are practically indestructible with the ability to withstand every form of weather condition. A majority of the brands that make these hot tubs incorporate several features in the hot tubs, such as pumps, filters, and covers. Despite having several features, these hot tubs are not heavy in weight. So, these hot tubs can be carried anywhere or used for rentals as well. Moreover, they can be easily stored away whenever not required.

2. Foldable Hot Tubs
These types of portable hot tubs less common than inflatable ones. The reason for this is basically that folding hot tubs cannot hold too many people at once. Most of these are made for just one person, so they can work as at-home spas. However, substantial space may be required to hold these, which means they are not suitable for indoor but only outdoor use. Foldable tubs are made from two materials: canvas or plastic layering on the outside and vinyl lining on the inside to hold all the water in the tub without causing it to seep outside. Another downside of these portable hot tubs is that most of these do not have too many features, such as jets, which make hot tubs more appealing. Additionally, the vinyl lining is subject to wears and tears making the hot tub less durable. Howver, the lining can be easily fixed at a repair shop.

3. Rigid/Rollaway Hot Tubs
These are one of the most lightweight and fuss-free portable hot tubs. The weight is lower than most other types of portable tubs mainly because of the materials used to make the rollaway hot tubs; plastic or rigid foam with a vinyl lining on the inside. The outside is usually made from roto-molded plastic. In some cases, it is also made from semi-rigid foam. These types of hot tubs closely resemble a fitted tub, but are more flexible. When not filled with water, these tubs are so light that they can be easily rolled away and stored. Moreover, these score high on portability since these tubs can be quickly tipped on a side and fitted through a regular-sized door.
