Hot Spring® TX Spa from Phillips Lifestyles

The Hot Spring® TX is a compact, entry-level hot tub designed for two people and shaped to fit corner spaces with ease. Its small footprint, lounge seat, and 11-jet design make it a smart choice for buyers who want a dependable soak without dedicating a large amount of patio or deck space. For homeowners across the Traverse City area and surrounding communities, the TX offers an approachable way to bring everyday relaxation home with a layout that feels practical, comfortable, and well planned.

Phillips Lifestyles pairs the TX with hands-on support that can help simplify the buying and setup process. The dealer offers hot tub installation and maintenance services, hot tub repairs, a spa maintenance program, free in-home consultations, and showroom test soaks. That mix of product and service support makes the TX especially appealing for shoppers in Traverse City, East Jordan, Boyne City, and Indian River who want a compact spa backed by knowledgeable local help.

Features and specifications

The TX measures 6' x 6' x 29" and seats two people. It runs on either 115 V or 230 V, uses one jet pump, and includes a SilentFlo 5000® circulation pump plus an IQ 2020® control system with LCD control. The spa holds 190 gallons of water and has a filled weight of 2,570 lb., with a dry weight of 635 lb.

Construction details support practical ownership. The TX includes FiberCor® insulation, a patented pump shroud, a floor drain, and a custom-fit insulated WeatherPro™ cover with a 4" tapered core and hinge seal. It is built to meet California Energy Commission and APSP 14 energy efficiency standards for portable spas. The spa also offers shell color choices in Alpine White, Pearl, Pebble, and Tuscan Sun, plus cabinet colors in Almond, Havana, and Storm, so buyers can match the look to the surrounding outdoor setting.

Comfort, seating, and massage

Despite its compact size, the TX is built to deliver a varied soaking experience. It features a lounge seat and a total of 11 jets, including a Moto-Massage® jet, a directional hydromassage jet, a rotary hydromassage jet, and eight directional precision jets. The Comfort Control® feature lets users adjust the feel from softer to stronger, while the bucket seat shape is designed to cradle the body for relaxed soaking.

The interior lighting adds atmosphere with multi-color LED points of light. Optional Hot Spot® Collection Step or Polymer Step accessories can support easier entry and exit, and the Lift ‘n Glide® cover lifter adds convenience when removing and replacing the cover. These details matter for homeowners who want a spa that feels easy to use as part of an everyday routine rather than a seasonal luxury item.

Water care, efficiency, and ownership

Water care is a major part of the TX value. The spa is FreshWater® Salt System Ready and also includes FreshWater® III Ozone System support, along with polyester filters with a free-flow core and an effective filtration area of 30 sq. ft. That combination is designed to support cleaner, easier water management for owners who want a simpler routine.

The TX is also built with ownership practicality in mind. It offers 115 V or 230 V electrical options, a no-fault 1,000 W heater on 115 V or 4,000 W on 230 V, and a design intended to work efficiently in a smaller footprint. The spa’s FreshWater-ready setup is especially useful for buyers who value straightforward maintenance and a more natural-feeling water experience without adding extra complexity to the day-to-day care routine.

For buyers comparing compact spas across Northern Michigan, that combination of manageable size, energy-conscious construction, and flexible electrical options makes the TX a sensible fit for smaller patios, decks, and corner placements around Traverse City and nearby communities. It is designed to bring the comfort of a full spa experience into spaces where every inch matters.

With two showrooms in the region and a team experienced in spa care and setup, Phillips Lifestyles combines product selection with service support in a way that helps buyers feel confident after the sale. For homeowners looking for a compact spa and dependable local help, that service depth is a meaningful part of the overall value.
