Hot Tubs & Spas UK – For Conservatory, Exercise Room and Garden

Hot Tubs & Spas UKHot Tub Tips: Before You Buy - Some Do’s and Don’ts

DO buy from a reputable source

Recommendation is always the best way to find a good supplier but, failing this, check out the reputation of retailers carefully before committing yourself. Ask for contact details of a few customers and follow these up to find out what their experience has been – of both their hot tubs and the supplier.

DO try before you buy

Rather like buying a bed, you need to test your potential hot tub for comfort before you commit yourself. Many retailers have changing rooms and working models that enable you to ‘test drive’ the tubs before deciding which suits you best. Your checklist should include the depth of the water, the seating capacity, location of seats and the variety and power of the jets. Look for a hot tub with seats of varying depths – some deep enough to cover your shoulders and others high enough to let you cool down or to accommodate smaller members of the family. Ensure there is sufficient room to stretch out comfortably – with enough space in the footwell to avoid a clash of toes. Also check that everyone can stay comfortably seated when the jets are turned on – in the buoyancy of water, very little pressure is needed to move people around.

DON’T forget a safety cover

It’s absolutely vital to have a locking safety cover for your hot tub – and to use it! This not only protects the tub from interference and unauthorised use but also keeps it safe from children. It goes without saying that children should NEVER be allowed to use your hot tub without adult supervision at all times.

hot tubs ukDO check noise levels

The noise levels of hot tubs can vary considerably so listen carefully as the pumps are turned on and the valves adjusted. A loud tub is not conducive to relaxation - nor to good relations with your neighbours.

DO investigate insulation

Running costs and performance are influenced by design and insulation, so ensure that both the cabinet and cover are well insulated. The less opportunity there is for cold air to lower your water temperature, the cheaper your heating costs will be.

DON’T omit to check the warranty

Whoever you buy from and whichever model you choose, check the warranty thoroughly. Ascertain how long it lasts and what is and isn’t covered. Typical warranties last between one and two years.

AFTER YOU BUY

DON’T cut corners

Water and electricity can be a lethal combination in the wrong hands so always use a qualified electrician to wire up the hot tub.

DO follow instructions

Use only the chemicals and additives recommended by the hot tub dealer. Ozone generators can be installed to reduce the amount of chemical sanitizers needed.

DON’T drink and dive

Alcohol and hot water don’t mix. So although the idea of long, lazy evenings soaking in the tub with a bottle of wine may sound appealing, it’s not a good idea. Similarly, avoid using the tub if you are taking drugs – consult your doctor for advice. Pregnant women should also take medical advice before using a hot tub.

DO avoid over-heating

spas uk Avoid soaking for more than 15 minutes at one sitting in water temperatures of 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Centigrade). Stick with water at body temperature (98.6 degrees F) for longer-length safe soaking.

DON’T neglect maintenance

Hot tubs with a wooden cabinet will need a periodic light sanding and application of wood preservative to maintain their appearance. Cabinets made from synthetic materials need virtually no maintenance apart from an occasional wipe-down.

Filters in portable hot tubs can be rinsed and re-sued several times – it’s a good idea to check before you buy to see how easy it is to remove and replace the filter.

DO enjoy!

You’ve done your research, bought the model that’s right for you – now sit back and enjoy the benefits. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without one!
