"My name is Jaden Kemp with Bullfrog Spas. I am doing a video on behalf of expertvillage.com and we are talking about hot tubs. Today we are going to talk about how to select a hot tub. Some of the things to consider when choosing a hot tub and maybe some of the things to look at when you are investigating the different types of hot tubs and selecting them for example, how many people do you want to be able to seat? Anywhere from 2 to 8 people are typical in hot tubs and also what size do you have available in your backyard? Hot tubs range in size anywhere from 6 feet to 8 feet in rectangular size, circular sizes and square sizes are the most common. So for example in this spa that I am standing in front of now comfortably seats 6 to 8 people. A very large spa with lounger seats and a lot of different contour seating. In other spa's you have the opportunity to have comfortably 4 people in the spa. Maybe just a couple of couple's in the spa. A contour lounge seat with calf jets and it just depends on what size you have available to you and how many people you want to be able to have in your seat. "
