Foam-wall hot tubs compared

Foam-wall tubs swap the air wall for solid foam panels under a PVC skin. The makers claim up to 60 % lower heat loss, and most of them have the heater built into the wall, so there is no pump box on the patio. They cost more than an inflatable but less than a frame tub.
