Best Hot Tubs and Swim Spas of 2022

The pandemic has disrupted hot tub manufacturing and wreaked havoc on supply chain for all of the 2020 and most of 2021. As a result, new releases, models changes, and research and development in 2020–2021 has been pushed into 2022.

In 2020 and 2021 manufacturers were overwhelmed with building hot tubs as quickly as they could to keep up with the demand from the lifestyle changes influenced by the pandemic and now 2022 will be a catchup year for some exciting new developments. Also for the better part of the last two years you couldn’t get a custom hot tub built with specific options and upgrades tailored to your taste and budget. Everything that was ordered and available to buyers was stock ordered by dealers. We are looking forward to 2022 being a year that we start to see things normalize, wait times reduced, and customizations available again. This may take until the middle of the year but none the less we should see things slowly smooth out.

In this post we will discuss new hot tub models for 2022 and some best selling hot tub models from each hot tub and swim spa manufacturer. You can also reference our list of the Top 10 Hot Tub Manufacturers for some of the biggest, most reputable brands.
