Everything You Need to Know about 8-Person Hot Tubs

  |   Buying & Research Guide, Comparisons & Reviews   |   No comment

If you’re looking for a hot tub that’s well-suited for backyard parties and family gatherings, you might be considering a eight-person spa that’s big enough to accommodate a crowd. But knowing you want a larger model and figuring out the logistics of fitting the right spa in your space can get tricky if you don’t plan for it in advance.

 

So how do you know what questions to ask? Here are the key details to consider when investigating spas and the specific benefits you’re looking to get from your purchase.

 

8 Person Hot Tub Dimensions

Generally, a spa built to seat up to eight people is considered a large spa and can range in size from seven to nine feet. This is a fairly significant difference between small or medium spas. Smaller models are intended to fit into tighter spaces and might squeeze users in a bit tighter, but larger ones are made specifically to hold more people more comfortably. This is likely to be the case for your eight-person hot tub options. Common dimensions you might see for an 8 person spa are 7’10” x 7’10” or 7’7” x 7’7” on the smaller side.

 

How Many Gallons of Water Does an 8-Person Hot Tub Hold?

 

Typically, an eight-person spa is going to hold somewhere around  475-650 gallons. That’s can be almost double the amount of water compared to the amount held in smaller spas, so keep in mind that a bigger spa will require more water.

 

How Much Does an 8-Person Hot Tub Weigh?

 

Unless you are working with an inflatable model, it’s vital that you understand the weight requirements for your spa before it’s installed. First, so you can ensure that you’re placing it on a foundation that is able to hold under the appropriate amount of weight, and second, so you understand that more water and more people using the spa means that water requires more chemicals and maintenance. (But don’t worry, Bullfrog Spas has worked hard to provide a number of simple water care solutions.)

 

The dry weight (when the tub is empty) is likely to be somewhere around 750-1000 lbs. When filled, the spa will weigh somewhere in the range of 6,000-6,500 lbs. That’s not a lightweight piece of patio furniture, so keep that in mind when designing the placement of your spa. Recommended foundations are 4 inch thick concrete, concrete pavers, pea gravel, or a reinforced deck.

 

8-Person Hot Tub Layouts

 

When it comes to large-sized hot tubs, the layout options open up tremendously, giving you more choices than any of the smaller category spas. The most common layout is going to be square, with a full-size seat in each of four corners, then a seat between each corner, for a total of eight and sometimes nine seats. In some cases, you can get even fancier and get a 7 person hot tub with a lounger. These spas are can be slightly more rectangular than square and may even feature a double lounger on one end, allowing for three other seats on either side.

 

8-Person Hot Tub Prices

When it comes to large hot tubs, your pricing is even broader than the other categories because there are many more add-on options and other personalization choices. And, of course, there’s the question of brand. For a basic idea, the base price of an eight-person spa can start anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000 and up.
