When choosing a hot tub, it is important to understand the functionality of the pump(s). Most spa companies refer to pump power in terms of HP (horsepower), but HP does not accurately tell you the true power of the pump without comparing it to the pump's amps (amperage. Our 5 HP pumps are true 16.4 amps, but not all spa companies accurately classify pumps by their true amperage. Tip: Ask associates, whether from our company or others, about the true amp rating of their pumps and you’ll see why ours are unmatched!
Electrical Connection and Pump Power
Remember, the electrical setup of your hot tub is directly connected to the pump’s power and quantity. This is why all our plug-and-play spas come with a single pump, no more than 2 HP each.
Choosing the Right Hot Tub: A Pump Guide
For Individual Use
If you're the primary user and prefer solo sessions, a one-pump, 1.5 or 2 HP tub is perfect for you. Consider our Black Ice series portable and luxury plug-and-play spas for a balance of power and convenience:
For Multiple Users
For those who plan to share their hot tub with family or friends, our premium tubs offer more pumps with greater power to ensure a satisfying experience for everyone. Models with multiple 5 HP pumps provide the extra oomph needed for a few more people.
For Intense Hydrotherapy
If those using your tub desire a vigorous massage from your hot tub, consider models with more powerful pumps. The idea behind using 2 pumps vs 1 is that you don’t have to share water pressure as much! For a more relaxing soak, less powerful and fewer pumps are ideal.
Choosing the right hot tub based on pump power and quantity ensures you get the best experience for your needs. Whether you seek solo relaxation or an invigorating group hydrotherapy session, Canadian Spa Company has the perfect hot tub for you!
