Compliment Your Hot Tub
Complement Your Hot Tub
Buying a hot tub is a great value for entertainment and health purposes. Why not complement your spa with additional accessories that can greatly enhance the enjoyment? Consider the following suggestions.
Hot Tub Cover
For safety, maintenance, and cleaning reasons, purchasing a hot tub cover can be considered more of a necessity. Covers keep out unwanted bugs, debris, and people (just like pools, having neighborhood kids “hot tub hop” can be a legality issue). In addition to a cover, consider purchasing a lock, which truly keeps all unwanted parties out.
A cover lifter can also facilitate hot tub security and use. Hot tub cover lifters can be attractive, efficient, and come with extras such as towel hooks.
Patio furniture
Many people purchase hot tubs to augment the ambiance of their yards, decks, or patios. Patio furniture such as gazebo bars, patio benches, and round tables with chairs can complement the aesthetic look and entertainment offered in an owner’s yard. You can even build your furniture around your hot tub which is the center piece.
Accessibility Help
Hot tub use is not limited to those with long and short-term injuries or mobility issues after implementing a hot tub lift. Pool and hot tub lifts enable all owners to enjoy their hot tub spa whenever they wish.
Aromatherapy
Many spa owners supplement the relaxation their hot tub grants them by implementing aromatherapy beads. Aromatherapy is championed by many in regards to facilitating well being and a calming experience.

What Does Valentine’s Day Mean to You?
Some hate it, some call it a Hallmark Holiday, and some love it (no pun intended!) So where did this holiday come from?
Did You Know..?
- Girls of medieval times ate bizarre foods on St. Valentine’s Day to make them dream of their future spouse.
- In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This was the origin of the expression “to wear your heart on your sleeve.”
What’s with Chocolate?
- Casanova, well known as “The World’s Greatest Lover,” ate chocolate to make him virile.
- More than 35 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate will be sold for Valentine’s Day.
- Over $1 billion worth of chocolate is purchased for Valentine’s Day in the U.S.
Who Bought Your Flowers?
- 15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine’s Day.
Take a Soak!
If you are stumped on what to get your sweetie, Scrub the tub, fire up the spa jets, light some candles, adjust the water temperature, put some mood music on, add some aromatherapy scent, turn on the tub lights… You’ll be glad you did!
Keeping Hot Tub Water Clean
Are We Lovin’ It?
McDonald’s announced last week that it has stopped using ammonium hydroxide in the production of its hamburgers. This chemical, used in fertilizers, household cleaners and even homemade explosives, was also used to prepare McDonalds’ hamburger meat. While this announcement has been headlining all over the place, you may (or may not) want to know about some other disturbing additives being used in foods that you may eat daily.
It’s All About Better Ingredients
Everywhere we look: Restaurants, TV, billboards, product labels, grocery stores. Go Green, All Natural, Organic, 100% Real is the new way to go. This should not only apply to what you put into your body, but also what you put your body into! (Like your Spa water!)
So, How Often Should I Change the Spa Water?
Every person who enters your spa will leave behind sweat,dead skin and body oils (This could be referred to as the Hot Tub Industry’s “Pink Slime”) Aside from the gross factor, changing the spa water will keep this type of gunk from building up on vital spa parts. This is even more crucial if you have a large bather load.
Moral of the story, folks… Stay ahead of the game, drain your water regularly, and stay away from the Pink Slime. You will be glad you did!
