To correctly choose a jacuzzi for the street, it is worth considering a number of nuances.
- Carefully read the description of each proposed model. Think about which of the available types of massage you most need - tonic or relaxing. By the way, certain models of modern jacuzzis can be equipped with a small waterfall, which is created using a special cascade crane.
- Pay special attention to the design of the jacuzzi and how it matches the design of the place where you want to install it. At the same time, you should rely only on your visual sensations.
- Think carefully about whether you will need all those original features in the form of color therapy (when the color of the water jets changes), a heating system for winter, or a stereo system. After all, they will all significantly increase the cost of construction.
- Choose the most suitable bath shape and dimensions. The parameters may entirely depend on the number of people with whom you want to enjoy all types of massage together.

Installation Recommendations
In order for your outdoor jacuzzi to work as long as possible, when installing it, it is worthwhile to fulfill certain requirements.
- Outdoor jacuzzi needs to be sheathed with a special material that will differ in the presence of thermal insulation properties. If the temperature outside drops below zero, the water in the system may simply freeze, which is unacceptable. In order to avoid serious damage to the liquid purification system and its normal circulation, it is best to use a heater, for example, polyurethane.
- The device should be placed on a flat surface specially prepared for this purpose. It is best to use a prepared concrete site for this. In this case, you can easily avoid the possibility of skewing or severe damage to your new hot tub.
- If you are not going to use your jacuzzi very often, it is still better to drain the water during the winter period. Pools that have increased frost resistance, in principle, can withstand the weight of a well-frozen liquid and have a significant margin of safety up to about 10 years, but it is better not to expose them to excessive load.
In outdoor types of jacuzzi, external cooled air is not used, most often the right amount of air is taken from the space that is under the bowl of the device - really warm temperature prevails there. Because of this, the most comfortable types of massage are carried out in the cool season.
On the market you can find models whose equipment, even in very severe frosts for almost three days, can withstand complete or partial freezing of the liquid inside the bowl.
Most often, these products are produced for Canadian users, because the climatic conditions of this country are far from ideal. And this means that products of this kind are perfect for our climate zone.
