WHY BUY A HOT TUB

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 04:47:25 GMT

THE IDEA OF A RELAXING SOAK IN HOT WATER IS NOT NEW. FOR CENTURIES, HYDROTHERAPY HAS BEEN A POPULAR PASTIME FOR PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. ANCIENT CULTURES THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE ENJOYED THIS PRACTICE, ESTABLISHING THE BENEFITS OF HYDROTHERAPY FROM NATURALLY OCCURRING THERMAL SPRINGS TO ELABORATELY CONSTRUCTED BATH HOUSES. WHETHER FOR RELAXATION, RECOVERY OR CONNECTION TIME, SEE HOW HOT TUBS ENHANCE YOUR LIFE.

THE POWER OF HYDROMASSAGE

Hydrotherapy has a range of health benefits. The heat itself promotes circulation and speeds up removal of lactic acid, while the buoyancy of the water lifts the effects of gravity and takes the pressure off joints for pain relief.

Hydrotherapy and hydromassage can be used to relieve the symptoms of a multitude of maladies including stress, arthritis, sleeplessness, fibromyalgia, lower-back pain, post-exercise soreness, and leg cramps/restless legs syndrome.

While most people associate hot tubs with fitness and recovery, research supports the benefits of hydrotherapy for many Conditions, here’s a closer look at these afflictions and how Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs can alleviate their harmful effects:

Stress: Stress can originate from any number of life’s facets, including money, work, family, and health. And according to a report by the Mayo Clinic, the long-term activation of the stress-response system can disrupt almost all of your body’s natural processes and put you at increased risk for numerous health problems.1 But just 10 minutes in a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub each day can dissolve stress and relieve headaches by increasing blood flow and soothing muscles.
Lower back pain: In a 2012 survey conducted by the American Physical Therapy Association, nearly two out of every three Americans admitted to dealing with discomfort in their lower backs at one point or another. With so many individuals afflicted by this pain, it’s no wonder that the “Journal of Musculoskeletal Research” stated that hydrotherapy offers more potential benefits for those with lower-back pain, in comparison to land-based forms of exercise.
Sleeplessness: If you suffer from bouts of sleeplessness, some time in a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub can send you to snoozeville in no time at all. According to the Better Sleep Council, immersing your body in warm water helps create healthy sleep habits by relieving tension and stimulating circulation.2 Plus, when your body is cooling down after a hot tub session, your brain receives subconscious messages suggesting that you sleep.
Post Exercise Soreness: Spending time in the gym can work wonders for your body, but sore muscles the day following an intense session can make movement difficult.That’s why strength and performance coach Jason Lindsay recommends hydrotherapy for every athlete. “From the professional athlete to the college athlete to your weekend warrior one of the most overlooked aspects of a training program for an athlete is recovery,” explains Lindsay. “We recommend hot Epsom salt baths and submerging the body and water. …We get vasodilation and blood flow out to the tissue and recover with no impact. We also use it to build you know a stress relieving protocol…All these different things help us relieve stress improve cognitive function and be at our best.”Restless leg syndrome and leg cramps: Though there remains uncertainty as to the cause behind the unpleasant sensation that millions of people experience in their thighs, calves, and feet, one likely factor is that brain misfires signals to sensory nerves in the lower extremities. Relaxing in a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub prior to sleeping can diminish those feelings and while putting your muscles at ease.
Arthritis: Arthritis is a condition that stiffens joints and causes pain for roughly 350 million people on the planet. Heated hydrotherapy, however—such as is offered in a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub—has been proven to reduce pain levels in those with arthritis by opening blood vessels, increasing range of movement, and promoting muscle growth.3
Fibromyalgia: A condition that affects the entire body in myriad ways. The disorder is often associated with sweeping musculoskeletal discomfort, but can also negatively impact the mood, energy level, and sleep habits of those coping with it. The Mayo Clinic notes that warm water is effective in treating fibromyalgia, due to its ability to foster relaxation and mitigate muscle tension.4
Spending time in your hot tub or bathtub to enjoy hydrotherapy even if you don't have health issues, can help with one thing that's good for everyone: entertainment and family time. Learn more about how hot tub hydrotherapy can help with a wide variety of conditions, from arthritis to training.

If you’re thinking about buying a hot tub, you may be wondering: When is the best time? When to buy a hot tub is really up to you—they are enjoyable in any season. Read on to learn the benefits of buying a hot tub no matter the weather outside.

SPRING

With longer days and warm weather around the corner, the focus turns to fun in the spring. This is a great time to plan for a new hot tub. New models come out around this time, so you can be the first to see the latest and greatest features. Plus, you’ll be able to get outside and design your dream backyard. Plant annuals in the springtime for a pop of color come summer, and set up bird feeders to attract some feathered friends. All you need now is your perfect hot tub.

SUMMER

Hot tubs often bring to mind backyard barbecues and socializing, and summer is an excellent time for both. When you install a hot tub in the summer, you’ll be just in time for long weekends and summertime stargazing. You can even use your spa like a small pool: An unheated hot tub is great for a refreshing soak, without needing to treat a larger body of water.

Whether you’re putting in longer hours at the office or helping the kids with homework, you’ll be able to step into your new spa at the end of a long day. An after dinner soak can aid in digestion and help you get a good night’s rest, too. And what better way to appreciate the crisp autumn air and changing leaves?

WINTER

Don’t stay indoors in the winter—when temperatures drop, it’s a great time to purchase a hot tub. You can get outside, stretch, and relax in comfort. Whether you’ll be doing some skiing this winter or made a New Year’s resolution to get healthy, there’s nothing like a quality hydromassage after a workout.

CHOOSING YOUR HOT TUB

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 04:47:22 GMT

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A HOT TUB

Every part you see—and even those you don’t—is important to the overall value of your investment. When buying a hot tub, consider the quality of the materials, dimensions and seating options, and entertainment features, as well as the warranty.

JETS & MASSAGE

Quantity does not always equal quality; balancing jets and airflow to the number of pumps and the amount of power is critical.

If massage is your priority, don’t stop at back jets; there are also jets for the legs, feet, hands, and neck.

Look for adjustable jets to fully personalize your massage. Jacuzzi® Hot Tub jets are adjustable and deliver Aqualibrium®—the ideal mix of water and air—that can be as gentle or vigorous as you prefer.

QUALITY MATERIALS

Designed for reliability, every part you see—and even those you don’t—is exceptionally engineered with the best materials to ensure a superior product.

Find a durable, acrylic shell that is stain and scratch resistant.

Research long-lasting cabinetry, such as synthetic wood, that is UV-resistant to withstand weather and stay beautiful longer.

Look for an intuitive control system that is easy to use, even in the dark.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Sparkling clean water is a priority for all hot tub owners—and choosing a hot tub with excellent filtration can keep maintenance to a minimum.

Explore more sophisticated systems with multiple levels of filtration that greatly reduce the amount of time required to keep water fresh and clean.

Look for hot tubs that use technology to simplify water care. For example, the Jacuzzi® Hot Tub CLEARRAY® water management system is designed for ease of use and exceptional performance, making it simple to maintain clean, clear water.

PORTABLE VS. IN-GROUND

Portable hot tubs are versatile when it comes to placement, whether you vault it into the ground, build a deck surround or place it on a patio. Thanks to advanced filtration and cover options, they’re easy to maintain, and they typically have comfortable, versatile options for seating and jets.

In-ground hot tubs are flexible regarding shape and size, and can seamlessly blend into your landscaping.These hot tubs typically offer bench seating and a single back and/or calf jet, and need to be heated as used.

DIMENSIONS

To determine what size hot tub you need, consider how many people you want to seat, for what purpose you’re using it, and the area in which you are placing your hot tub. Keep in mind that seating capacity does not always determine outer dimensions; moving up to a hot tub that seats more may only change the exterior dimensions by a few inches while giving you a lot more room inside your hot tub.

COVERS

Your hot tub cover is an important step in water care, keeping debris from the water, helping to maintain heat and adding an aspect of safety when your hot tub is not in use. Make sure the cover is designed specifically for your model; the more tightly it fits, the better it will shield your hot tub from the elements.

ENTERTAINMENT & CONVENIENCE

Many types of hot tubs today have options available for entertainment and remote monitoring.

Easily tap into your playlist with wireless entertainment features that let you control your music from anywhere. On many Jacuzzi® Hot Tub models, you can play music from your phone from up to 30 feet away with our BLUEWAVE® technology.

Wireless technology also allows you to control the lights, temperature, and jets remotely. Our SmartTub™ System App enables you to do all this and more from your smart device.

WARRANTY

A good warranty is an indicator of a hot tub’s quality. A manufacturer that is willing to stand by its products knows it won’t typically need to replace them. Look for a comprehensive warranty that lasts at least 5 years and covers not only the shell and surfaces but also interior parts like the pump, heater, and controls. Be sure to read the fine print, and go with a trusted company to ensure they’ll stand behind their guarantees.

HOT TUB PLANNING

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 04:47:21 GMT

DECIDE WHERE TO INSTALL YOUR SPA

Ready to take the next step toward hot tub ownership? Designing the setting of your dreams can be the best part of your experience. Follow our guide to choosing your perfect hot tub to discover the features that are right for you, then read on. With just a little planning, the path to hot tub ownership can be downright fun.

OUTDOORS

Placing your hot tub outdoors means you can stargaze or enjoy the weather with your loved ones. Plus, you’ll have plenty of flexibility in design. Here are some tips as you’re deciding where to put your outdoor hot tub:

Consider your climate. If you live in a place with cold winters, you’ll probably want quick access to the indoors. During hot summers, you’ll want to be in a shady area, so you may want to place your spa under a gazebo or umbrella.
Think about how you intend to use your spa. If you’re using it for recreation and socializing, leave plenty of room for activities and yard furniture. If you’d like more a secluded feeling, choose a private corner of the yard and add plants or a screen.
Of course, you’ll want to think about your view. Position your spa based on the view you most want to enjoy while you’re soaking. After all, your hot tub should really be all about you.

INDOORS

Placing your hot tub indoors gives you more privacy, as well as protection from the elements, such as sun and snow. If you prefer to just watch the snow fall through a window, indoor hot tub placement may be for you.

Building a new room is a popular way to incorporate an indoor spa into your property. This makes it easy to custom-design the features you need for an indoor retreat. Plus, you can install the spa before you close up the last wall of the room.
No matter where you put the spa, measure carefully and plan your delivery route beforehand. Your local dealer can help you ensure everything runs smoothly.

DESIGN YOUR DREAM BACKYARD

If you’ve decided to place your spa outdoors, you can look forward to days and nights relaxing with a view, in a backyard designed just for you. Creating your perfect backyard oasis is just as fun as picking out your spa.

PLANTS

It’s easy to create an inviting backyard space with plants. Whether you’re a fan of vibrant blooms or want to add calming greenery, here’s how.

Spruce up your yard with annuals, which will add a pop of color throughout the warmer seasons. They’ll also attract butterflies and hummingbirds for you to watch as you soak.
Create a natural privacy screen with an ivy-covered trellis, or line your yard with tall shrubs for the same effect. As a bonus, the greenery will give your space a calm, relaxed feeling.

LIGHTING AND SEATING

The right lighting and seating help create ambiance and ensure all your guests have an amazing experience, both inside the spa and outside.

Create a space so that those who aren’t in the spa can still be in on the fun. A storage bench with cozy pillows doubles as a seating area and a place for extra towels.
Consider the mood you want to set with your lighting. Colorful holiday lights or Tiki torches create a fun vibe, while lanterns or candles feel softer and more romantic.

LUXURIOUS TOUCHES

There are certain sights and sounds that automatically evoke bliss. Here are a few tips to make your yard the epitome of luxury—see our blog for more details.

Cascading water has a well-known calming effect—that’s why Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs come with built-in waterfalls. Adding a custom waterfall or koi pond just outside your spa provides even more soothing sounds, creating a relaxed and tropical environment.
Install a fire pit to create a warm, inviting atmosphere after dark. The flickering flames and sounds of crackling wood will improve your yard’s ambiance, whether you’re socializing with friends or enjoying a romantic evening for two.

HOT TUB INSTALLATION

Wed, 30 Dec 2020 04:47:20 GMT

You’ve picked your perfect model, thoughtfully designed your backyard, and chosen your accessories. Now comes the most exciting part: hot tub installation. Watch the video below to see what you might expect, and read our tips to see just how easy Jacuzzi® Hot Tub installation really is.

CHOOSE YOUR FOUNDATION

Creating the proper foundation is an important item to check off your to-do list before your hot tub arrives. Here are some options to consider.

Concrete: This is a common choice because it’s frequently already a part of a patio or yard design, and is also sturdy and long-lasting. If you have an existing concrete surface, just ensure it is level and is in good condition. You can also have a single slab of concrete poured into a custom foundation.

Deck: This can be a good spot to place your hot tub, since a deck is typically already level. Simply have it inspected before your hot tub is installed and be sure you have the proper supports. Most decks can hold a hot tub, but you want to be certain.

Spa pad: Prefabricated spa pads are one of the simplest solutions around, and they look great. All you need to do is clear a level area of grass and topsoil, then lay out the hot tub foundation pad (Check out Jacuzzi® Brand’s high-tech polyethylene spa pad for superior quality).

LEARN ABOUT ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING

Jacuzzi® Hot Tubs require 120 volt or 240 volt, depending on the spa’s size. The knowledgeable professionals at your local dealer can help you determine what you need.

Many people are surprised to learn that no plumbing is required in order to install a Jacuzzi® Hot Tub. Simply fill your spa with a garden hose and balance the water as necessary. Installing a hot tub is that easy.

PLAN FOR DELIVERY

While you’ll typically work out the details with your local dealer, there are some steps you can take to ensure hot tub delivery runs smoothly.

Check the width of gates, doors, and sidewalks to ensure your spa will pass through unobstructed.
Make sure the spa will fit around any 90° turns.
Remove objects like plants or outdoor furniture that might hinder the delivery team.
Consider overhead clearance: inspect your yard for low roof eaves, overhanging branches, or rain gutters.

When you follow these tips, you’ll be just as relaxed on delivery day as you will be in your new hot tub. Still have questions or not sure where to start? Find your local dealer here and chat about install ideas or watch the following video for inspiration.
