Whether it is simply that magic respite that we all seek in a calming way at the end of a workday or that quality relaxation time with your friends, family and loved ones.



The quality in your life will increase dramatically improving not only your health but also your happiness and well being from the very many therapeutic benefits that flow from a warm jetted hydro massage.

One needs to experience for ones self the very considerable benefits of your own Spa and the improved lifestyle that goes with it.

A Spa will not only improve your sense of general well being but will also boost you in the physical sense and the combination improves the whole being as in Mind Body & Spirit.

Powerful hydro massage is very good at helping to relieve stress, aches, pains, and tension in ones body often allowing one to get a better and deeper sleep.

A Hot Tub can also become a great place to socialize with your family and friends.

But, there are various considerations that one should evaluate before you get into some very hot water!

Many Spa vendors are often only marketing a lifestyle concept with out taking the time to explain that there are Hot Tubs on the market which will perform much better and will prove to be more economical and at the same time provide a lifetime of reliable service because the manufacturer has had them designed and built to provide this longevity.

Many manufacturers and indeed many retailers of Hot Tubs provide little information about the actual construction and the manufacturing process.

I take the view that a good retailer will provide a prospective client with straight forward cogent information and facts that they may need in order to be able to make an informed decision.

A good example of this is that you need to know which country the product is made in for example Britain, USA or China to name just three countries. I remember asking one supplier and his answer was the usual waffle - The Jets are designed in Germany - The pumps come form Canada that's really good because that is a cold country. But where is the Tub assembled where are the pumps plumbing and components actually put to together eventually and rather sheepishly he says China.

There is little point when they say it's an ABC from Britain when ABC is buying them from China. What they should say if they are honest and do not want to be guilty of incorrect trade description is to simply say the truth that it's made in China.

They often form the view that the potential client knows nothing or very little about Hot Tubs (often we find many so called expert retailers who fall into the same boat) and will simply accept and believe all the patter that a well versed sales person churns out.

One of the old classics or chestnuts is that "we fully foam our spas to keep the sound of the pipes down" well all I can say is that just goes to show that it is a poorly designed, badly engineered and is in my opinion an out of date production process.

One large maker of Spas has made a practice of selling cheap-to-make spas in a nice and expensive looking presentation package, but the end user needs to know that they are made with an inferior shell material. This company fully foams their spas as structural support for the thinner and porous shell material (thus creating a service nightmare if there ever should be a leak somewhere). They also openly vent their cabinets which may lead to those nasty bug and rodent infestations that can nestle inside the blown in insulation, and also by venting the cabinets they are loosing costly heat

One of the other old favourites is "we use small heaters as we have such good insulation" well the truth of that is that a smaller heater costs less and if you are the maker of the largest number of hot tubs in the world the saving would be considerable. The simple truth is that they use cheaper heaters as they cost less and can take for ever to warm up.

As with very many things in life it does pay to buy the best quality that one can afford from a well established manufacturer who has been established for many decades.

Also in it is often a question of pay now or later. That's a bit like experience it usually either takes a long time to acquire or is very expensive. If you get fooled into purchasing a cheap less well made product undoubtedly you will pay later not only in terms of repairs and increased running costs but more importantly increased running costs.

You the consumer have very many choices, so please just simply take the time to ensure that you collate all the facts available in order that you can cut through the false claims that some manufacturers and retailers publish or tell their prospective clients and establish the facts.
