Regardless of your personal opinion, there really isn’t a wrong answer.

The Trend Toward Outdoor Spas and hot tub
Outdoor hot tub are on the rise. North American purchase statistics suggest that spas and hot tub are more popular than ever – recent analysis puts average yearly hot tub sales at over £900 million in the U.S. market alone.
The question is, where are all those hot tub going? Inside or outdoors?
In temperate climates like California, the majority of installations occur outside the home. One builder in the Golden State estimated that around 95% of all spa building projects were outside. hot tub and spa owners all over the world are embracing the freedom and feel-good aspects of having their tub out in the sun…or even under the stars.
Backwards Compatible? Or Backwoods Compatible?
For more hot tub, there are two rules for indoor & outdoor usage.
For Arctic Spas hot tub, there is one rule for indoor & outdoor usage:
- Inside or outside, in every type of weather, Arctic Spas is the brand of choice. It doesn’t matter where you decide to put an Arctic Spas hot tub – it’s a dependable performer in any and all conditions.
Is your hot tub backwards compatible? In other words, can you get the same performance characteristics (heat retention, weatherproof protection, etc.) no matter where it’s located? Not all indoor tubs can thrive (or even perform at all) in blustery winter weather. Which means, not all hot tub are backwards compatible.

The indoor vs outdoor hot tub debate usually gives a decided advantage to the indoor argument when it comes to winter weather. Who wants to spend countless hours preparing their hot tub for frigid, unforgiving conditions? Nobody does – and that’s a driving force behind the exceptionally durable, all-weather design of Arctic Spas portable hot tub and spas.
