Hot Tubs Houston

March 23rd, 2009

Deciding to buy a hot tub is a great choice for any homeowner. A hot tub has many benefits including physical benefits as well as providing a great atmosphere for social gatherings. And, because a hot tub is heated, they can be used all year round. If you are considering adding a hot tub to your deck, backyard, or as an addition to your swimming pool, there are a few points to consider.

Because many hot tubs are above ground, homeowners can install hot tubs themselves. As it were, planning is involved for such aspects like location, support, and more. The first major aspect to consider before you decide on purchasing a hot tub is where your hot tub will be located. Because a hot tub is modular and many varieties are above ground, it can be located either outside on a patio or a deck, or inside in a sun room or conservatory. Wherever it is installed, it needs to have adequate structural support. When the hot tub is filled with water and in use, it will get very heavy and needs to have a strong base.

We recommend your hot tub be on a slab of concrete, on outdoor rated concrete decking material, or on concrete pavers. Also, if you choose to erect your hot tub in your home, adequate ventilation is required. If you are placing your hot tub on a lifted deck (as opposed to a flat concrete paver deck) make sure that the deck is properly supported to be able to handle the extra weight. Remember, the area will not only be holding the hot tub shell, but the water and any guests you have in and around the cheap hot tub as well.

example of hot tub from houston shopAnother important factor is considering access to gas lines, plumbing lines, and electrical lines. In order for your hot tub to function, it will either be powered by electricity alone or electricity and gas to heat up the hot tub. Some hot tubs use electric heating coils so there is no need for a gas line. Plumbing nearby is also a necessity. Your cheap hot tub will occasionally need to be drained for cleaning or be filled when water evaporates so it is convenient to have plumbing accessible. The most important factor of the three is your gas and electric lines as water can be ran to the hot tub with a hose if the water line is near the hot tub.

Another factor to consider is the traffic in and around the hot tub. When you own a hot tub, your popularity will skyrocket so you need to accommodate for the extra people and guests that will be visiting and frequenting your new hot tub. Consider purchasing or making extra seating, installing landscape lighting or spot lighting around the spa area, building changing areas for your guests, adding towel racks, adding more outdoor furniture, and adding other features to accommodate your extra guests. We recommend adequate outdoor lighting as the hot tub is apt to be used as much in the evening as in the day, if not more.

cheap hot tub in houstonA final consideration is sheltering your hot tub. If you want to be able to use your hot tub during precipitations such as rain or snow, it is helpful to build a structure over your hot tub. If your cheap hot tub is near your home, a great alternative to building an expensive roofed shelter is attaching an awning or canopy to your home. This way, you will be able to enjoy your hot tub all year round.

Spa Cover Lifters

March 20th, 2009

A brief look at the typical hot tub or spa cover lifters, how they work and how to keep them easy to use.

Maybe you think you need one of these. Most spa cover lifters are simply a metal bar bent into a large U shape, that goes across the center of your spa. You fold your hot tub cover over the bar and then push it off your spa. These "Bar Lifters," actually work great as long as your hot tub cover is not too heavy. It makes the removal of your spa cover look so easy. The thing to remember is your spa cover was not made to hang by its center hinge which is just a flap of material.

The spa cover lifter was an after thought, sort of an after market solution to a product that was already in use. As previously stated, it works fine provided the Hot Tub cover has not begun to saturate. Most spa owners buy one because their spa cover is already heavy. If that’s you, the lifter won’t help. The bar lifter does nothing to help you get the cover open halfway. You still have to lift the first half of the cover up to fold it over the bar all on your own. If you can’t do that now, the lifter will do no good.

If you are strong enough to lift your heavy saturated spa cover over the bar it will either rip itself in two on the lifter or the bar lifter itself will be ripped from its own pivot points because it is not meant to handle the weight of a saturated cover. The center seam of the typical spa cover was never meant to handle its own weight once it gets saturated.

Pulling the heavy hot tub cover back onto the spa even with a lifter can be a two person job too. True it makes it handy if the spa cover is light weight. The bar gives it a nice place to hang and it is convenient to have right next to the hot tub. But it still requires a light weight spa cover to work easily. That means, if the reason you bought the cover lifter was to avoid having to replace your heavy spa cover, then it fails. You will still need to replace your typical rigid foam filled hot tub cover every couple of years to make that lifter effective. Which may be more frequently then you replace it now. If not, you will begin to use the hot tub less. The harder you have to struggle to get into it, the less priority it has.

retractable spa coverIf you already have a spa cover lifter, you probably know all this. Don’t despair. You just need to set aside enough money to replace that cover, like clockwork, every one to two years. When you buy the new cover, store the old one in a dry place somewhere. When the new one  is one year old you can rotate the old one back onto the spa. It will have lost the weight of the saturation once you took it off the spa. You can get some extra life out of your covers this way but the fix is not permanent because all vinyl’s will eventually crack and fall apart. If you add a new one every three years and throw out the oldest one, you can keep two drying while one is in use.

Don’t bother buying the most expensive foam spa cover you can find because they all fall victim to the same thing eventually and the cheap covers will last just as long with rotation. The other option for those that already have a bar lifter would be to buy a different type of cover that could still be used with the mechanism. There are some options out there, I would recommend you shop on line. Look for something that won’t weigh more that a typical foam spa cover and that can work in a similar way to lay over the bar. Just keep in mind the goal is to use your spa, not your lifter. You may have to adjust how or where it pivots from to accommodate a different kind of cover, but if it makes getting in and out of your spa easy that is the real bottom line.

Condo Hot Tubs are Popular

March 19th, 2009

The popularity of condo hot tubs is very much on the rise. Many condos now offer a hot tub for everyone to use, or jacuzzi tubs or jet tubs in the individual condo units, or both. Hot pools are a great way for the neighbors to get to know each other. Neighbors are bound to run into one another when they are using the hot tub.

What better way to start up a conversation and get to know a little bit about one another than when you are sitting in the hot tub. Another great benefit to a condo hot tub is that you don’t have to worry about the maintenance; all you have to do is enjoy it.

cheap outdoor hot tubsIf you are not a very social person you will probably prefer to stick to the jet tubs that come in most condos. These tubs offer you the same relaxing feeling that a hot tub does. If you would prefer to relax in the comfort of you own home this is the way to go. You can come home and start the tub and climb in and relax. You can listen to your own music, or light a few candles and enjoy a glass of wine.

You used to only find condos that had a pool for its occupants to enjoy, but not anymore. As life gets more and more stressful and fast paced, the need for ways to relax becomes more and more important. With everyone being so busy with work and children and other activities it is easy to get stressed out. With so many pressures on us it is easy for us to forget to unwind at the end of the day. One way we can unwind and relax is to slip into the hot tub.

Hot tubs are becoming very popular due to their many benefits. In addition to relieving stress, and the pain or sore muscles, they can be used for a get together with friends. What a great way to spend time catching up with your friends. Having a relaxing evening with your friends may be just what you need.

Hot tubs and saunas have many things in common. Both can be very relaxing, and both can be helpful in relieving stress, and the pain of sore muscles. Some people prefer one over the other, depending on their individual likes and dislikes. If you do not enjoy sitting in the tub, or swimming you will probably not want to go out and purchase a hot tub, you may instead want to get a sauna. On the other hand if you do not like to sit in a small room you will probably not go out and purchase a sauna. Going to a spa to see which one you enjoy may make your decision of which to buy easier.

Finding the right hot tub or sauna for your home can be quite a challenge! Come visit us for loads of information to help you make an informed choice: http://www.greathottubsandsaunas.com/

Cheap Wooden Hot Tubs

March 18th, 2009

round wooden hot tubsWooden hot tubs were very popular back in the mid to late 1970’s. However, when the 80’s rolled around, they seemed to be very out dated. Most people want to go with more modern types of hot tubs. However, now with the different ways that we can treat wood, wooden hot tubs are coming back into style. Not only that, but discount wooden hot tubs are easy to find, because they are so much easier to make than other types of hot tubs. Today we are going to cover the different types of wooden hot tubs and what they are usually made out of.

First of all, you need to know that hot tubs are different than most spas. Whenever you hear people talking about spas, they are usually talking about a rectangular type of tub to sit in. They are a lot larger, and they are typically made out of acrylic. They also have things like jets and purification systems. Of course, when you get right down to it, all spas are hot tubs, but usually wooden hot tubs are not called spas. However, they can have all of the features as spas do, as you will find out later.

Most of the wooden hot tubs that you find are going to be made out of redwood or sometimes cedar. However, unlike hot tubs from long ago, these discount wooden hot tubs have treated wood to keep them from rotting away due to the water. Also, you should notice that most wooden hot tubs are round and have no edges on them at all. Old wooden hot tubs used to be very hard to get comfortable in, because they have no place to sit but on the floor. It was very much like sitting in a wooden barrel. However, the newer ones do have seats on the side of them. Now you not longer have to sit in the floor.

Last, but not least, these wooden hot tubs have jets in them as well. Of course, these jet systems can be found on the outside of the tub. The pipes are run along the side of it, then come through the wood in the area where you want a jet to be. Then a sealer is put around the spot where the jet comes through so that water will not leak out.

As you can clearly see, wooden hot tubs are just as good, if not better, than normal hot tubs. The reason why these hot tubs could be a bit better is because they cost less money. Not only that, but not a lot of people have wooden hot tubs, meaning that you could be the only person on your block that has one. A lot of people love them, because they add a little bit of a natural look to your back yard. A lot of people feel like these kinds of hot tubs look very nice on wooden decks. That is because it is almost like it is carrying out a theme of some kind.

Ideas For Your Hot Tub

March 14th, 2009

So you’ve just purchased the cheap hot tub of your dreams that you know will be the envy of your friends. Have any ideas on how you will enclose it? There are many good reason why you should enclose your hot tub. Fortunately, there are also several ideas for enclosing your hot tub including fencing, wood roofs, gazebos and using screens.

The location of your hot tub, will help determine what type of enclosure to use. If its outdoors, you want to protect your investment from bugs and rain from entering and damaging your hot tub. Contamination is one of the most common reasons having to replace hot tubs.

outdoor hot tub gazeboDepending on your location and climate, you may find that it makes the most sense to completely enclose your outdoor sauna, with screens and a door to prevent any debris or insects from entering the hot tub whatsoever. There are many woodworking plans available that will enable a talented craftsman to build their own enclosure. This is cost effective yet it will require a commitment to finish the project. Whether you prefer to build your own enclosure or purchase one that simply requires assembly, you will find that enclosing your tub will have a direct effect on how much enjoyment you derive from your tub.

Indoor-outdoor enclosures abound and there are many styles available. If privacy is a concern, then you may choose to close all windows in with a darker tinted screen. If your backyard is already secluded with a privacy fence, then you may not require that your hot tub is shielded from view. You can choose gazebo style enclosures in a number of different wood finishes. These look beautiful and are functional as well. Cedar is a common wood used to create enclosures and Cedar is a natural mild insect repellant. It is used in many outdoor furnishings, for hanging plant containers, and makes a great outdoor tub enclosure.

So now for the finishing touches. You have your sauna, you have your enclosure. Have you added a bit of your personality to it? There are plenty of ideas for your little bit of backyard paradise, including decorative plants, flowers or pictures. You could decide to go with a theme such as a tropical motif or even a nautical one, so every time you are in your time, its like you’re at a tropical resort.

Just remember though, if you decide to use plants or flower, ensure you take the proper steps to ensure that bugs don’t get to your plants. One of the reasons you built the enclosure was for protection of your hot tub from bugs.

Hot Tub Accessories

March 13th, 2009

Getting the most out of your hot tub means considering the many must-have accessories available. These accessories include traditional required parts and pieces for your hot tub as well as some of the ‘not so traditional’ hot tub accessories, for instance side umbrellas to protect from sun.

umbrella accessory for hot tubOther not-so-required accessories can include bathing beauty figurines and even bride and groom accessories that create laughter from friends and start up enjoyable conversation. These are fun and our great way to start the party with a good laugh.

There are, however, some items that are marketed as a hot tub accessory that really should not be used near water. Mounting a portable DVD player to the side of anything containing water, especially your hot tub, is a bad idea. If you choose to use your DVD player while you are in your hot tub not only are you increasing the risk of electrocution; you are also increasing the amount of time that you would stay in the hot tub, which could cause other health issues.

Another hot tub accessory that requires a lot of care if used around water is a CD player or a radio. These can be placed far enough away from the hot tub to decrease the risk of electrocution. Both the CD player and the radio can help to create a relaxing or fun atmosphere, depending on what you listen to.

Purchasing a hot tub accessory gift for a friend or relative can be fun. You can choose anything from filters to floating games, all of which will increase the enjoyment that the hot tub gives. For an outdoor hot tub owner the gift of a towel warmer can make their day, especially during the winter or on cool spring or autumn days.

Plastic playing cards can keep the game going wild in the water. These are great hot tub accessories because they allow you to keep conversation flowing and they can help you and your guests have fun. Small windup toys can be fun for younger hot tub users and this is the type of accessory that brings in laughter and enjoyment but gives very little otherwise. A more serious hot tub accessory could be a hot tub cover or a hot tub cover lifter.

One of the more useful accessories for your hot tub is a mixture of essential oils used to keep out rodents and other pests, and which are safe to humans and domestic animals. As soon as rodents detect the scent of essential oils they leave.

There are so many other different choices and different uses for each hot tub accessory that we can continue this article indefinitely! I will end by congratulating you on your hot tub and wishing you success in finding some fun accessories for your hot tub and spicing up your life.

Cheap Hot Tub Covers

March 11th, 2009

When you purchase a spa or hot tub for your home, it’s important that you also purchase a quality hot tub cover that will increase energy efficiency, extend the life of your spa and provide the safety features that you need. In order to select the right cover for your hot tub and your circumstances, you will need to keep several things in mind.

First of all, choosing the right cover can save significant amounts of money and energy in the long run. This is because high quality spa and hot tub covers that fit your particular model properly can greatly boost energy efficiency. By retaining heat and preventing evaporative loss, the insulating features of hot tub covers can provide up to a 75% reduction in heating costs as compared to the costs required to heat an uncovered hot tub. Naturally, the better the insulating properties, the greater efficiency and heat retention the cover will provide. When selecting a cover that will provide a high level of energy efficiency, it’s important to look for features such as a perimeter skirt, which will provide enhanced heat retention, and a high R-value, which represents a measure of the cover’s thermal resistance.

hot tub covers jacuzziWhen shopping for spa covers or hot tub covers, another thing to keep in mind is that you will want a cover which will last a long time and will also help to greatly extend the life of your spa or hot tub. Extra-wide, heat-sealed seams and high-quality materials such as premium marine grade vinyl are examples of characteristics that will make covers more durable and less prone to splitting. When the external material is anti-microbial treated and contains UV inhibitors, the cover will be able to withstand harsh weather throughout the seasons and will exhibit greater resistance to damage from the sun and cracking due to cold temperatures. It’s also a good idea to choose your cover from a selection of cheap spa and hot tub covers with mildew inhibitors.

Another feature that will make spa covers more durable and long-lasting is a sealed foam core with dense core panels. The increased density helps to prevent breakage and other damage while the sealed foam provides great protection against moisture-absorption, which is one of the leading causes of hot tub and spa cover failure. Also, a tapering core will promote rain run-off which further protects the cover from moisture damage and also makes life easier for you, as you will not have to worry about removing standing water from the cover while your spa or hot tub is not in use.

hot tub covers ebayAnother consideration to take into account when selecting cheap hot tub covers is safety and security. This factor is particularly important if children will be around your hot tub or spa. To maximize safety and prevent accidents, look for spa covers with locking fasteners. These fasteners will prevent children from being able to uncover or otherwise tamper with your spa or hot tub. For additional safety, there are walk-on hot tub and spa covers available which will keep your children safe even if they climb onto the spa while it’s covered.

Of course, convenience is important when choosing hot tub and spa covers as well. You will want a cover which you can remove and put in place easily and without any unnecessary hassles. Aluminum-reinforced hinges not only add durability to covers, they also make the covers easy to remove. For even greater convenience, look for covers with strong, padded handles, as they will make it far easier to lift your cover. Moreover, reinforced handles will prevent ripping and tearing.

Luckily, many covers are custom-made to precisely fit the shape and dimensions of your hot tub for maximized protection and energy efficiency.

Used Hot Tubs

March 11th, 2009

As a way of relaxing, more and more people are buying a hot tub for their home. Not only are hot tubs relaxing but they also offer tremendous benefit for people of all ages. Today, the number of sales for hot tubs has skyrocketed. Made from redwood, cedar, and teak, hot tubs are attractive and designed to accommodate two to twelve people. In addition, you can choose from a stand-alone unit or one that can be moved from home to home. The following are five of the top reasons why you might consider buying a hot tub!

Relaxation
The number one reason people choose to install a portable hot tub is for the benefit of relaxation. In today’s society, people rush around more and faster than any other time in history. There are deadlines to meet at work, children to pick up from soccer, dinners to cook, bills to pay, and the list keeps on going. With this, people struggle with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, headaches, fatigue, and tremendous stress.

By sitting for just a few minutes in a hot tub, all the cares of the world seem to drift away. In addition to the relaxation caused by the feel and the sound of the bubbling water, health professionals have determined that the warm water helps to raise the body’s temperature, which then causes blood vessels to dilate. With this, a person’s circulation is greatly improved. The result is a euphoric sensation and a relaxed, stress-free mind and body.

Health

The heat of hot tub water is very soothing to the body and the buoyancy of the water creates the perfect environment for providing relief to people with chronic pain.

For this reason, you often see individuals with Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Arthritis, and other painful conditions using a hot tub to find some level of relief. Additionally, medical professionals often recommend people that with sore joints, muscle strains, or various types of orthopedic injuries use a hot tub for speeding up the healing process. In fact, some insurance companies even cover the cost of a hot tub for certain medical conditions.

Entertainment
Having a weekend gathering with family or friends is more enjoyable when there is a hot tub in the mix. After barbecuing outdoors, people can take turns enjoying the water while sipping on a glass of wine. Therefore, a hot tub is an excellent addition to any party.

Romance
Today, you can visit any number of ski resorts with outdoor hot tubs. Couples will often slip out of their room late at night where they can sit back and watch the moon as it reflects off the white snow covered mountains. Even having a hot tub in your own backyard offers an opportunity for a little quiet romance with the love of your life.

Therapy
Hot tubs on the market today have come a long way. The innovative designs are an excellent source of therapy. As an example, hot tubs are now designed with hydrotherapy options, which include not just the warm soothing water, but also massage! Then, some on the market also offer aromatherapy. For this, fragrances can be added to enhance the effects of the water. Finally, jet therapy is a very popular addition to hot tubs. With this, powerful jets of water are designed and positioned to deliver a variety of vigorous streams of water to the neck all the way to your feet.

With any tub, just remember there are some things to consider regarding safety. First, children should never be around a tub filled with water when unsupervised. Additionally, most hot tub manufacturers recommend you not stay in the water longer than 20 minutes. Finally, be very careful when consuming alcohol and using a hot tub.
