They will also be imposing a strict limit of one hot tub per customer when it is made available for online pre-order on March 25.
Indoor or outdoor
The powerful tub features 120 powerful air jets and a 2200W heater which means it can be used in any weather.
But it's not just for those who have big gardens - the pool is suitable for either indoor or outdoor use.

With standard hot tubs costing anywhere from £3,000 to £10,000, Aldi’s offering is aimed at undercutting its expensive counterparts. Even similar soft-shell alternatives from retailers like B&Q and Tesco are sold at three times the price.
Julie Ashfield, Joint Managing Director of Corporate Buying at Aldi UK, comments: “Last year, we saw unprecedented demand for our Spa Pool and are thrilled to be bringing more back for our customers to enjoy this spring.”
'Unprecedented demand'
As well as the online pre-order, the hot tub will be available in stores from Thursday 29th March - but you may have to be speedy if you want one.
