Primary differences between commercial and domestic hot tubs

The primary differences between domestic (residential) and commercial hot tubs lie in their size, construction, features, and intended use. Key distinctions include:

1. Size and capacity:
   • Domestic: Designed for home use, domestic acrylic hot tubs are generally smaller in size and have a lower water capacity. They are suitable for a limited number of users, typically accommodating 2 to 8 people.
   • Commercial: These are larger in capacity and built to accommodate a higher number of users simultaneously. Commercial hot tubs can be found in places like wellness spas, hotels, gyms, or other public facilities.
2. Construction:
   • Domestic: Residential hot tubs are often made with materials that balance durability and aesthetics. They may have acrylic or fibreglass shells and a variety of cabinet materials.
   • Commercial: Commercial-grade spas or hot tubs are built with durability as a primary focus. They usually have robust construction with reinforced materials to withstand frequent and heavy use. Shells might be made of sturdier materials like reinforced fibreglass or stainless steel.
3. Features:
   • Domestic: Acrylic domestic hot tubs come with a range of features, but they may not be as advanced or extensive as those found in commercial models. Features like LED lighting, water jets, and entertainment systems are common.
   • Commercial: Commercial hot tubs often include more advanced features. They may have more powerful jets, additional seating configurations, and sophisticated control systems. Some may also be equipped with features for disabled access.
4. Regulations:
   • Domestic: Typically subject to fewer regulations, domestic acrylic hot tubs are designed with the assumption that they will be used by a limited number of people who are familiar with the equipment.
   • Commercial: Commercial hot tubs must comply with various regulations and safety standards. This may include adherence to health and safety codes, accessibility requirements and regular inspections.
