Folks,

Forgive me if this is an inappropriate group for this, but a search on
deja seemed to list this group a few times for this kinda thread....

We're looking to get a hot tub, and really want one to seat 4 people.
However, as far as I can tell, most 4+ seaters are around the 200cm x
200cm mark. Can anyone suggest a make and model that seats 4 (or
more!) where at least one of these dimensions is a bit lower, say 200
x 160?

Thanks

Steve

The only ones I'm familiar with in that dimension are the jetsetters on this
page http://www.hotspring.com/Spa_Selector/index.html BUT they only seat 3.

How small is your back yard that this is an issue? The basic idea behind
having
a hot tub is to go there to relax and be comfortable. If you plan on
having 4
people in it, you should be looking for one that "says" it is for 6
people.
Otherwise, you are defeating the whole thing.

They are more trouble, and can't be heavily insulated, but many
wood tubs would meet your requirement.

Sorry this is in Imperial, but I have an eight footer and a seven footer.
The seven footer is great for two people. The seven is adequate for four,
and less to heat.

You can stack people in there, and people can sit on other's laps. But the
point is to get in there and relax and stretch out, and not all be scrunched
up like eight people in a phone booth.

Amen to that, brother. The Hot Spring Grandee is 500 U.S. gallons
(1,890 litres) and although it's rated as a 7 adult tub (and that's a
conservative number by industry standards), I tend to believe four is
a more comfortable number. The foot well is likely to be the critical
factor here and the Grandee is extremely generous in this regards -- I
love to stretch out in a tub without playing footsies with the person
beside me and I certainly don't want anyone's elbow in my face.

When comparing tubs, take the number of gallons/litres and divide by
the number of seats and that metric will tell you just how each stacks
up. And unless you're all midgets on a diets or human contortionists,
more is better and a lot more is even better yet.

Cheers,
Paul

The basic cylinder, like a standard wood hot tub, makes a big
difference because you can stretch out your feet under the opposite
seat. A 5 foot tub can easily hold 6-8 people.

The "on the lap" thing is not too bad, depending on who's on who's lap.
