Hot tub brands
Lay-Z-Spa, Intex PureSpa, CleverSpa, MSpa and Wave Spa sell most inflatable tubs in the UK. Each range has its own pump unit, filter cartridge and spare parts, which matters for years of upkeep.
Brands use their own filter cartridges, cover clips and pump connections, so spares from one range rarely fit another. Check that filters and replacement parts are easy to buy before you choose.
Within one brand, ranges usually step up from a basic I-beam tub with AirJets to drop-stitch walls, HydroJets, app control and freeze protection. Compare the heater kW, maximum temperature and insulation rather than the name of the range.
