Choosing a 6 person hot tub in Canada
How much space does a 6 person hot tub need?
Most of our 6 person hot tubs are square, from 6 ft 7 in to 7 ft 7 in a side. The Maximus is the exception at 8 ft 6 in by 7 ft 3 in.
- 6 ft 7 in square: Reims, Refresh, Palma and Florence
- 6 ft 11 in square: Santorini and Sicily
- 7 ft 4 in square: Tokyo
- 7 ft 7 in square: Palermo
- 8 ft 6 in by 7 ft 3 in: Maximus
Leave about a foot clear on every side for installation and service, plus room to fold the cover back.
Lounger or all seater?
Seven of the nine have five seats and one full-length lounger. A lounger is built for relaxation and hydrotherapy. You lie back with jets working along your back and legs, so it suits anyone who soaks to unwind or ease aches.
The Sicily and Palermo are all seaters, with six upright seats facing in. They suit entertaining and parties, when everyone wants a proper seat and a place in the conversation.

Which 6 person hot tub suits you?
- No 240V circuit: the Reims plugs into a 120V outlet, though it reheats more slowly in winter.
- The coldest winters: the Luxury range, for its insulation and app control.
- The strongest hydrotherapy: the Maximus, or the Tokyo if space is tighter.
- Entertaining: the Sicily or Palermo, where everyone sits upright and faces in.
