Tips for Hot Tub Owners

Get a high-quality cover - It is important to prevent anything that could damage your hot tub from getting in it, so a high-quality cover is worth the investment. The cost of a quality cover will cost much less than paying to fix or replace your hot tub if it were to get damaged.

Establish a cleaning routine - All hot tubs need to be cleaned regularly to prevent the growth of algae and get rid of any bacteria that may be growing. If you don’t clean your hot tub regularly you’ll probably end up with cloudy water. 

Consistent temperature - Keeping the water in your hot tub a consistent temperature reduces the chances of the water freezing. If the water in your hot tub freezes it can cause pipes to burst and permanently damage the hot tub. 

Buy conditioner for your hot tub cover - Hot tub cover conditioner prevents unpleasant odors and the growth of mildew on your cover and in your hot tub. 

Turn on economy mode when you are away - Economy mode keeps the heater in the hot tub off unless the filter cycle is on. This will save you money while you’re away on vacation because the heater is off for the majority of the time.

Store pool supplies in a cool & dry place - It is very important to store pool supplies in a cool, dry place to prevent the supplies from becoming defective or even dangerous. 

Benefits of Adding A Hot Tub To Your Property

Whether you're remodeling your backyard or you're simply looking for a new way to relax at home, adding a hot tub can be an incredible way to improve your property. A hot tub can improve your physical and emotional wellness, benefit your social life, and even impact your property value! Here are just a few of the advantages that installing a hot tub can bring to your life:

• Spend More Time with Your Loved Ones: Hot tubs create an excellent environment to spend time with your family and friends. People of all ages love to spend time in the hot tub, giving you a great environment to spend time talking together.

• Lower Stress: Hot tubs can have long-term physical benefits, especially if you suffer from anxiety or frequent stress. Sitting in a hot tub on a regular basis can relieve tension in your head and neck, while the heat from jet-driven water can naturally stimulate the production of positive endorphins, which further lowers stress.

• Lose Weight: If you're having trouble staying active due to joint pain or muscle soreness, spending time in your hot tub can help you work towards your weight loss goals. Not only does the buoyancy of the water lift some of the pressure from your joints, but you can also do some easy exercises such as flutter kicks, reverse crunches, and triceps dips to burn some calories.

• Get Better Sleep: Do you have trouble falling asleep at night? Soaking in your hot tub before you go to bed might help relax your body and mind, helping physically motivate you to prepare for a restful night of sleep.

• Make Self-Care Easier: After a long day at work, you deserve time to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate. Time in a hot tub can be used to reflect on your day, plan your week, or simply give your mind a break. The physical effect that the warm water has on your body can also help to reduce stress.

• Home-Based Therapy: Whether you are recovering from an injury or dealing with ongoing issues, there are many different therapeutic techniques that can be performed in a hot tub. These water-based therapies take pressure off your muscles; they can be extremely beneficial and dramatically improve your quality of life.
