Not Sure Which Is Right for You? Let’s Talk About It.
Backyard upgrades are a big investment, and one of the most common questions we get at Pools Plus Inc. is: Should I install a pool or a hot tub?
The answer depends on how you plan to use your space—and sometimes, it’s not either-or. More Rhode Island homeowners are realizing that with smart design, they can have both.
When a Pool Is the Better Choice
Pools are perfect for:
- Families with kids or teens
- Fitness and lap swimming
- Entertaining large groups
- Cooling off in the summer
- Creating a backyard focal point
From above-ground pools to custom inground designs, we’ll help you find a style that fits your yard, budget, and usage goals.
You can also go compact with plunge pools if you’re tight on space but still want a cool-down zone.
When a Hot Tub Makes More Sense
Hot tubs are ideal for:
- Year-round relaxation
- Muscle recovery and hydrotherapy
- Cold-weather use
- Quiet, low-maintenance downtime
- Small spaces or patios
We offer a range of hot tubs and spas designed for durability, comfort, and minimal upkeep—plus hot tub services for all your maintenance needs.
Why Not Both?
Pairing a pool and hot tub gives you the best of both worlds. Enjoy fun and fitness during the day, then wind down in warm water after sunset. Many of our clients integrate both into a seamless backyard layout with:
- Shared decking and hardscape features
- Coordinated design and lighting
- Smart automation for heating and controls
- Efficient equipment setups
Not sure if your space allows for both? Our designers help you make the most of every square foot.
