Completely portable, a Softub can be easily moved by one person. Use your Softub inside or outside and in any season. It’s perfect on a deck or patio, in a home or apartment, even at the cottage or on a houseboat. The lightweight design enables you to take a Softub almost anywhere.

Therapeutic, Comfortable and Safe

Softubs feature barrier-free seating and a soft, cushioned interior and exterior. There are no hard or slippery surfaces and the low profile allows for easy entry and exit.

About Softub

Softub has been manufacturing spas since 1986 for thousands of happy customers.

That means with simple care, you can expect to get many years of enjoyment, indoors or outdoors.

That means you won’t see a huge jump in your electric bill, as with other hot tubs that use costly heating elements.

Softub Canada is a totally Canadian owned and operated company. The manufacturing facility is located in Sudbury, Ontario. The product was introduced into Canada from California in September 1990 and Softub Canada was incorporated shortly thereafter. Softub Canada has a licensing agreement with Softub Inc. of the US to manufacture and market the Softub in Canada.

How this benefits you: If you ever need accessories, parts, service, or answers – no matter where you live – we’re available nearby.

The vinyl is a marine-grade product that is designed to withstand the harshest climates and sun.

How this benefits you: That means with simple, routine care, you can expect to get many years of service, indoors or out.

Softub spas are easy on the pocketbook. The nationwide average cost to operate a Softub spa outside, is between $6 and $10 per month, year round.

How this benefits you: That means you won’t see a huge jump in your electric bill, as with the 220v hard tubs.

With our revolutionary heat recovery system, which uses the heat created by the pump motor to heat the water.

How this benefits you: You will have operating costs that are a fraction of the cost of a hard tub, a reduction in service problems, and an extension of the life of the motor, since our system helps keep it cool.

Our thermostat can be set as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit or 42 Celsius.

What that means to you: No matter what temperature you select, your Softub is ready for you whenever you’re ready to relax.

We have water treatment kits that fully explain the treatment process. To make maintenance as simple as possible, we also have a patented, fully automatic, ozone injection system that significantly reduces the amount of chemicals needed to keep your tub clean and sanitary.

How this benefits you: That means it takes less time-and less money out of your pocket – to keep your tub sparkling clean.

A 220 gallon Softub spa weighs 1,972 pounds, including the HydroMate and lid.

How this benefits you: You can put your tub on nearly any deck. Check with your builder, but most new decks can easily support a Softub spa and a few of your friends.

The great news is that all you need is a level surface and a standard 120V 15A electric outlet.

How this benefits you: Unlike hard tubs, you will not be burdened with pouring a concrete pad, expensive 220V wiring and possibly a crane.

No.

How this benefits you: Most hard tubs require expensive electrical and plumbing for installation.  A Softub spa is designed for anyone to easily install themselves, as it plugs directly into a standard 115V 15A outlet. Best of all, with our SmartChip™, you never have to worry about power surges or brown-outs damaging your spa.

We bought a used Soft Tub (long story) that needed work. Alex and crew turned our lemon into lemonade (maybe not the best analogy)?. She found some used pieces and helped get us into the tub. Bottom line, if we had bought a reconditioned soft tub from Affordable Hot Tubs we would have been further ahead. Regardless we are converts both to Soft Tubs and to this company.
