If you’re new to the world of hot tubs, you may be concerned about whether or not your patio or deck will be able to support the weight of a standard hot tub. You also may have just bought a hot tub and you’re wondering about how many gallons it will hold to get a better idea of your future water usage.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are many factors that go into figuring out how many gallons of water are in a hot tub, including the size, shape, and capacity.<\/p>\n
To help you get a better understanding of how many gallons it takes to fill your hot tub, we’re going to explore the various sizes so that you can prepare for the amount of water you will need to use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On average, the smallest hot tubs that you’ll find from manufacturers are two-person hot tubs. Typically, two-person hot tubs will hold anywhere from 150-220 gallons of water. A standard deck should not have any problem supporting the weight of a two-person hot tub.<\/p>\n
For those who want to take it up and get a three-person hot tub, you should expect it to hold anywhere from 200-300 gallons of water. Similar to a two-person hot tub, a three-person hot tub should be fine on a standard deck.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking at a 4-6-person hot tub, you may need to start considering some reinforcements. An average 6-person hot tub typically holds anywhere from 320-475 gallons of water. A 6-person hot tub may present challenges for those who place their hot tub on the deck depending on the number of people who are in it at one time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
There are a few ways to calculate how many gallons of water your hot tub’s interior can handle.<\/p>\n
One of the easiest ways to figure out how many gallons you’ll need for your hot tub is to look at the manual.<\/p>\n
If you misplaced the manual a while back, you can always run a quick Google search to see if you can find the amount online.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
If you can’t find that information, you can also calculate the number of gallons of water your hot tub can hold manually.<\/p>\n
To get started, you’ll first need to grab a tape measure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/li>\n
<\/span><\/li>\n
Lastly, you can use the timed fill method. You can figure out the capacity of your hot tub and how many gallons it holds by filling your hot tub with a hose. Make sure you time the filling process so you know how long it took to fill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
We hope that this was helpful in giving you an idea of how many gallons you can expect to find in the average hot tub!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever filled up a hot tub or been concerned about water usage, you may have asked how many gallons are in a hot tub.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve learned from owning 4 different ones:<\/p>\n
A small 2-3 person hot tub will hold approximately 300 gallons, whereas a large 7-7 person hot tub will hold up to 675 gallons or more. <\/strong><\/p>\n Hot tubs range in both size, shape, and depth. All of those factors affect how many gallons they hold.<\/p>\n But there are so many different sizes, shapes, and styles of hot tubs. So below we\u2019ll into a few different ways to accurately calculate yours. So let\u2019s keep going!<\/p>\n There are plenty of good reasons to calculate how many gallons of water are in your hot tub.<\/p>\n Once you get an idea of how much it holds, you can figure out all sorts of useful information. You can learn how much money it should take to heat, the correct amount of purity chemicals or cleaning products to add, or the final weight of your hot tub.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll go over two tried and true calculation methods in this article. First is the timed filling method<\/strong>, a slower but simpler way. And second is the dimension calculation method<\/strong>, an instant but slightly more complex way.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it. Balancing the water, cleaning filters, dealing with rashes, and trying to figure out which chemicals to buy and add can make you feel more like a chemist than someone who just wants to relax after a long hard day!<\/p>\n That\u2019s exactly why The Hot Tub Handbook and Video Course<\/strong> is so valuable!<\/p>\n This is from Matt over at Swim University and he developed it for people looking to save money, time, and frustration. His tips on chemicals can save you $100\/year just by making sure you buy only what you need.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re ready to stop being confused or frustrated with your hot tub and start spending more time in it, check out The Hot Tub Handbook and Video Course<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Just click that link to learn more on their website.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a space, you can pretty much guarantee we\u2019ve got a hot tub that will fit! This Miami fits beautifully, and we\u2019ve got a whole host of other shapes and sizes to suit every need! https:\/\/t.co\/OnxSoeESsk#miamispa #miami #artesianspas #holegoals #perfectfit #azurelife pic.twitter.com\/LN19ND13yX<\/p>\n \u2014 Azure Pools&HotTubs (@Azure_Pools) August 31, 2018<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Calculate the gallon capacity of a hot tub by multiplying the width, length, and depth of the hot tub in inches. Divide the result by 1,728. If the hot tub has seats, multiply the result by 2.4. If not, divide by 4.8. But there are different calculations for non-standard-shaped hot tubs.<\/strong><\/p>\n As mentioned above, there are two methods for determining a hot tub\u2019s approximate capacity.<\/p>\n There\u2019s the timed fill method<\/strong> and the dimension calculation method<\/strong>. They both involve a bit of math but the timed fill method seems to be the most simple. So, let\u2019s start there.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll use the following steps to easily figure out your tub\u2019s capacity:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want to know about how long your hot tub will take to fill up, check out my filling guide here<\/strong> for a rough estimate of how long you\u2019ll be waiting.<\/p>\n Just click that link to read it on my site.<\/p>\n How often should you drain your hot tub? Divide the number of gallons your hot tub holds by three, and then divide that number by the number of people you will have in your hot tub every day. pic.twitter.com\/Z4oZ9uTrKc<\/p>\n \u2014 The Hot Tub Store (@hottubstoreNC) July 12, 2018<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to fill the hot tub. 1 hour x 60 = (60 minutes + remaining 30 minutes) x 60 = 5,400 seconds.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Get your 1-gallon jug and timer ready. Make sure your hose is set at the same pressure as it was to fill your hot tub. If there\u2019s a variance here, it will mess up the final calculation.<\/p>\n For the severely math impaired, (i.e. me) the timed fill method is the way to go. It will take a bit more time, but filling your hot tub is part of the required maintenance anyway. It\u2019s a good opportunity to take advantage of this easier solution.<\/p>\n If you need an answer NOW and don\u2019t mind a bit more complex math read on to learn the dimension calculation method<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Find out how to choose the best hot tub size with this guide by Hot Spring Spas! https:\/\/t.co\/XxRxbZGHMo#hottub #hotspringspas #guide #spa pic.twitter.com\/3fJtB9nFu9<\/p>\n \u2014 Hot Tub Spa Supplies (@Hottubsupply) February 23, 2020<\/p><\/blockquote>\n We\u2019ll use the following steps to calculate your hot tub\u2019s capacity:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n This method varies slightly depending on if you have a square or round hot tub. Let\u2019s start with a square tub.<\/p>\n Next, let\u2019s check out the round tub method.<\/p>\n Math is hard! How many gallons of water are in my hot tub roughly?<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find a few rough estimates below.

So there are about 325-375 gallons of water in a 6 person hot tub.<\/p>\n An 8 person hot tub can hold about 615-675 gallons of water. These behemoths can weigh as much as 7800 pounds when filled!

You\u2019ll have to add water accordingly from time to time. When you do, make sure to check the chemical levels to prevent bacteria growth.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that there are a lot of factors that determine how quickly water will evaporate from your tub. Some of those include:<\/p>\n Want to learn more? Check out a full write up here<\/strong> about water loss in hot tubs on one of my other websites.<\/p>\n Using the above estimates might be okay temporarily.<\/p>\n But we do hope you\u2019ll consider measuring your hot tub\u2019s capacity accurately. As you can see, it\u2019s not very difficult or time-consuming. Doing it the right way will set you up to enjoy your hot tub exactly as it was meant to.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also get plenty of valuable insights like your hot tub\u2019s weight, electricity costs, and proper chemical amounts when cleaning time comes around.<\/p>\n Try the timed-filled method next time you change your water for the most painless way to go.
