Test Soak
What is a test soak?
A test soak is a free, private appointment to try the hot tubs you are considering in warm water at a Hot Tubs Northwest showroom. Seat counts and spec sheets tell you very little about how a spa actually fits you; twenty minutes in the water tells you everything. Bring a bathing suit and a towel, and we handle the rest.
How a Test Soak Works
We set the water aside for you, so it is just you and the spas on your list.
1. Request a time
Tell us which models caught your eye and when you would like to come in. We will set aside a private time for you.
2. We get the water ready
Your models are heated and ready when you arrive. All you bring is a bathing suit and a towel.
3. Soak, compare, decide
Sit in every seat. Feel the jets. Swap to the next model and compare. There is no better way to choose a spa, and there is no obligation when you are done.

Frequently Asked Questions
What to know before you get in.
Does a test soak cost anything?
No. Test soaks are free, and there is no obligation to buy afterward.
What should I bring to a test soak?
A bathing suit and a towel. We take care of everything else, including having the water heated and ready when you arrive.
Can I test soak more than one model?
Yes, and you should. Comparing two or three models back to back is the fastest way to feel the differences in seating, depth, and jets.
Is there an age requirement?
Test swimmers must be 16 years or older for swim spa test swims. Ask us when you book if you are planning to bring the family.
