Must-Have Accessories for Your Hot Tub

By Ferry Suwantoro

You may need to consider to purchase some accessories for your hot tub.

A jet pump

A hot tub can become an inexpensive and relaxing home spa with a simple installation of a jet pump.  A jet pump can suction the water and release it back to produce a softer therapeutic effect that improves relaxation.

Test kit

The test kit usually contains test strips used to determine the water’s pH level.  A test kit will ensure that you maintain your water’s usability.  You can check its pH level to see if the water is still fine for soaking.  Maintaining a good acid-alkaline balance will also help preserve your heater coil and prevent it from getting corroded.

Floating thermometer

A thermometer will let you maintain the proper water temperature so you relax in your warm bath without worrying that water temperature might rise without your knowing it.  High water temperature can cause hyperthermia which can lead to unconsciousness.  With a water thermometer, you will be alerted about any unnecessary increase in temperature and ensure your safety.

Lighting

Add to the relaxing ambience by installing waterproof underwater lights to your hot tub.  These lights can add to the peaceful, calming mood or enhance a lively hot tub party.

Thermometer

Since most hot tubs will have a built-in thermostat that will regulate water temperature, you might not think an accessory like a thermometer is necessary.

Entertainment

If you love sharing your hot tub with family and friends, why not splurge on entertainment gadgets especially designed for hot tubs?  Try a mounted TV, DVD player, waterproof game cards or a floating spa radio to provide you with a more enjoyable hot tub experience.  If you’re entertaining, add useful hot tub accessories such as a floating bar and side trays so you can serve fruit and juices.

The Convenience of Inflatable Hot Tubs

By Ferry Suwantoro

Wouldn’t you like to relax in a hot tub without having to think about having to construct one in the first place? How about going out of town and bringing your hot tub with you for a relaxing night after a long trip? You can now do that with the latest innovation called the inflatable hot tub.

These inflatable wonders are some of the most convenient and relaxing inventions to ever come off of the drawing board and getting yourself one is as easy as ordering it online and inflating it with a pump to relax in its warm depths.

Space Saving

Unlike built in or ready made non-collapsible hot tubs, inflatable hot tubs don’t take up any space when they aren’t in use. Unless if you want them to remain inflated all the time in an area of your home, you can deflate it and store it away to help save on much needed space.

This is a very ideal hot tub to have if you are sold on the benefits of having a hot tub yet don’t have enough space to accommodate one in your home.

Party on the Go

There are also inflatable hot tubs that can accommodate more than two people and you can take an inflatable tub anywhere with you. The bigger versions of these inflatable hot tubs are just as easy to assemble as their smaller counterparts and are just as easy to take apart and stow. These units often come with their own inflation blower and power packs that create that bubbling effect that hot tubs are famous for.

With inflatable hot tubs, you can take that relaxing hot tub sensation anywhere you go. Just pack it up and take it with you and whenever you feel like soaking, you just assemble, fill it up and enjoy.
