The Northern Virginia pool removal contractors at Dirt Connections recently released a blog educating readers on how to decide between a hot tub vs. pool. Depending on the size of your backyard, lifestyle, and budget, you may find that one suits your needs better.

Pools can cost significantly more than hot tubs, making this an easy decision if you find yourself on a strict budget. They also take up more space, allowing for different entertainment options, from larger pool parties to lazy days on a raft. Your exercise options also vary greatly and can include swimming or walking in laps and water aerobics. Swimming is also an excellent low impact exercise for the elderly or mobility impaired. Water has long been considered therapeutic and relaxing. You can float along the surface after a long day or simply enjoy dipping your toes in on a warm one.

A hot tub, while smaller than a pool, offers exciting options as well. They can range from a two person to 12 person capacity, allowing more of your friends and family to enjoy the spa's many benefits. Some hot tubs have jet streams to swim against and attachments for resistance bands, allowing for an excellent workout in a small space. Finally, the relaxation and therapy benefits of a hot tub are numerous. Jets offer a welcome back massage, and the heat of the spa's water can relax muscles and joints affected by long use or illness. Because hot tubs are smaller, less expensive, and used more often, they can be an attractive purchase for many homeowners.

Hot tubs and pools each provide plenty of opportunities for relaxing, exercising, and spending time with family and friends.
