The best accessories for hot tubs are made from materials that are weather-proof and can withstand the elements.
The Spruce
They should also have safety factors integrated, so that spills and splatters dont cause any hazards.
Of course, any accessories should overall enhance your hot tub, too.
Weve also included some of our favorite patio umbrellas and hot tub covers that weve tested ourselves at homes.
Home Depot
TheAquaRest Spas Deluxe Storage Step, for instance, has a textured surface that creates friction to minimize slips.
Of course, hot tub steps should also be made from materials that can withstand the elements.
All of our top picks are UV- and water-resistant.
Weve tested manyhot tub coversat The Spruce, and our favorites are those that stay securely in place.
A heavy duty cover thats weather-proof and wont blow away with the breeze is also key.
Many are made from vinyl, which provides insulation and durability in one.
Hard top covers, on the other hand, offer a more solid surface built to last over time.
Plus, we like that they warm up the tub faster and for longer periods of time.
There are even motorized options so you barely have to lift a finger (save pressing a button).
Still, all of our favorite coversincluding non-motorized onesseamlessly fold and stow away when not in use.
All of our favorite lightsfor hot tubs, though, offer multiple colors options or are color changing.
This allows you to customize the vibe of your spa.
Others tack on bonus features like smart capabilities.
Other products like side tables give you a surface to place beverages and snacks outside of your spa.
Practical add-ons are just as important hot tub accessories, like items to keep your water clean and clear.
The Cover Guy
If you enjoy hosting outdoor hangouts, items like a cooler are always a crowd-pleaser.
To set an ambiance, color changing lights or bluetooth speakers can transform your spa into a sensory experience.
Some steps can also be found with wood composite accents.
Lights should, of course, be water-proof and made for use in the pool.
Dont Overlook Safety
Blanda notes that safety is the most important factor in any spa program.
Features like anti-skid powder coating on rails or texturized surfaces on steps can also help prevent slipping and sliding.
This can be seen in theAquaRest Spas Deluxe Storage Step, one of our best hot tub step picks.
