Hot tubs are a popular way to relax throughout The ’Burgh and can be used year-round in the city's climate. Pittsburgh’s cold winters make the tub work harder, so finding an energy-efficient tub is essential. Full-foam insulation, a cover and sturdy exterior materials also enable hot tubs to handle Pittsburgh’s cold and snow.

Top 10 Hot Tub Stores in Pittsburgh

What to consider before you buy a hot tub in Pittsburgh

Hot tub dealers in Pittsburgh offer an extensive variety of spas. To narrow down your options, consider your budget, the size of hot tub you want and what features are essential to you.

On average, it costs
$2,000 - $7,000
to install a hot tub in Pittsburgh

Popular hot tub features in Pittsburgh include stereo speakers, waterfalls, fountains, LED lighting, saltwater systems and wireless control panels. When choosing a size, think about how you plan to use the hot tub and how much room you have in your backyard or patio to accommodate it.

From there, start comparing maintenance and warranty plans. Another thing to take into account when choosing the perfect hot tub size is maintenance and water consumption. Larger, luxury-range hot tubs may be a more significant investment upfront but are usually more eco-friendly and have lower energy costs in the long run.

Hot tub regulations in Pittsburgh, PA

Pennsylvania’s statewide regulations require a building permit for hot tubs and pools deeper than 24 inches. You must include two copies of a property survey marking where the hot tub will be located with your building permit application. An electrical permit is also needed if the hot tub requires new or modified wiring.

Some hot tub regulations vary by township. Most Allegheny County municipalities require a hot tub to be a minimum of 4 feet from any wall, fence or structure. There are also strict laws on how to dispose of pool and hot tub water because of its high chlorine levels.

Pittsburgh hot tub FAQ

Should I leave my hot tub on all the time?
Yes. It’s more economical to keep a hot tub on all the time than to heat cold water before each soak.
What should you wear in a hot tub during the winter?
You can wear a regular bathing suit in a hot tub during the winter. A hat keeps your exposed head warm. Have slippers and a bathrobe nearby for when you exit the water.
Can you use a hot tub in freezing weather?
Yes, which is lucky since Pittsburgh has more than 30 days a year with temperatures that never climb above 32 degrees. When using a hot tub in freezing weather, be careful when removing the cover so that snow or ice doesn’t stick to you or the tub. Don’t turn the water temperature higher than you typically would — the colder weather makes it more difficult for you to realize how hot you are, so exercise caution. Keep your dip to around 15 minutes.
What are the benefits of a swim spa?
Swim spas provide all the benefits of swimming but take up less space than a pool. Exercising in a swim spa is a low-impact workout that’s easy on your joints, and the warm water works like a massage to loosen up tight muscles. They're also portable, so you can take them with if you move.
