Hot tubs are fast becoming accepted as an affordable and
accessible antidote in the home to the stresses of modern day
living. Here, the top ten reasons for investing in a hot tub are
detailed:
- Well-being: Those who have experienced the joys of
owning their own hot tub say they have never felt better. There
is nothing like that sense of total well being, which overwhelms
you when you plunge into a hot tub full of warm water, bubbling
massaging waters.
- Aid to good health: There is a wealth of clinically
proven evidence that suggests that the massaging warm waters can
reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, ease aching muscles
and joint inflammation. There is evidence that the massaging
waters ca help reduce cellulite.
- Economical: Costs are around 75p a day for heating and
chemicals for a four-person hot tub - it's a small price to pay
for unashamed luxury.
- Flexibility: They are suitable for indoor or outdoor
use. Spas can be permanently fixed and plumbed indoors but today
there is a much wider perception of the hot tub as an outdoor
product, and there is a huge choice of portable products for
placing in your garden, on your patio or balcony or in your
conservatory.
- All-weather: Hot tubs are not weather-dependent - take
Finland and Sweden, for instance, famous for their cold
climates, where ownership is almost 90%, because they have for
long appreciated that there's nothing quite like the sheer
delight of sitting in a hot tub under the stars in the now.
- Great for entertaining: Hot tubs quickly establish
themselves as a real focal point for family entertaining - some
can accommodate up to eight people, and they're a great place to
relax and talk, winding down with the family at the end of the
day. They are simply great fun for everyone.
- Versatility: In recent years hot tubs have grown in
sophistication. With features such as modular jets where you can
change the direction of the massage at will, hot seats,
fibre-optic lighting with programmable colour sequencing,
all-round remote control sound and even a television and video
player - they can be the ultimate in high tech luxury.
- Easy Maintenance: With maintenance amounting to about
five minutes a day, and slightly longer once a week there is
very little upkeep required. The essential key to happy hot tub
is checking the PH levels of the water using a simple test kit,
and correcting water balance, if, and when, necessary.
Affordable: With prices starting at £2,500, many at around £5,500
plus, and of course many more in the higher price brackets,
there is a hoot tub to suit every pocket. It's not dissimilar to
purchasing a family holiday.
- Enclosures: An outdoor hot tub will come complete with
a cover, but if you want an enclosed environment there are
several options - traditional chalet-style wooden spa houses or
gazebos, which look great in the garden.
