By Ina Hunt


Wind down from the stress of work with a relaxing dip in a hot tub. Enjoy the soothing relief of massaging jets. Enjoy the outdoors on a cold winter day. Soothe sore muscles and relieve the pain of arthritis. Discover the advantages and the affordability of hot tubs Philadelphia.

A hot tub is surprisingly affordable to operate. Cost will depend on the size of the pumps and the size of the tub. Keep the cover on whenever it's not in use to reduce water evaporation and loss of heat. Insulation reduces heating costs by up to 80%. Newer pumps are designed to distribute the heat generated into the water, further reducing heating bills.

It takes 5 minutes out of your week to keep the water in your hot tub safe and sanitary. Microorganisms are destroyed with bromine, chlorine, or salt water chlorination. Clean filters weekly. Keep ph level balanced to reduce water foaming and corrosion. Change water and clean the interior every 2-3 months.

An ozinator can reduce the need for chemical additives. The ozinator kills pathogens and oxidizes contaminants like deodorant, soap, cologne, and lotions. Any tub can be fitted with an ozinator, even 90% of older units can be retrofitted to take advantage of this natural method of sanitizing water.

If you have a small yard without room for a permanent structure, consider purchasing an inflatable unit. Inflatables can be used indoors or transported to a friends home for a party. Portables with vinyl liners are a little more work to move, but they're more durable. Choose this option if you might want to change the landscaping, build a new deck, or move to a new home in the near future. Portables are inexpensive and most can be plugged into household outlets. They come in several sizes with a choice of features.

Permanent units are durable and efficient. They're a great addition to a pool area or built into a deck. Acrylic tubs feature an acrylic cast shell supported by a frame, with a skirt of cedar or simulated wood. Roto-molded units are constructed with the shell and cabinet as one piece. A cement tub can be above or in-ground. Stainless steel construction can be any shape or size and they're extremely durable. Glass reinforced polyester units are made of plastic reinforced by fine fibers of glass.

Before choosing a model, decide on the location. This can affect the size and aesthetic design that you want for your new hot tub. The most popular areas for installing a hot tub are decks, patios, or next to a pool. Pick a location that isn't surrounded by slippery or dirt surfaces. Consider how many people will want to use the tub at the same time. Decide what features are important to you, features like number and placement of jets, or an aromatherapy option. Design options can even include a waterfall. A locking cover protects children and pets from accidental drowning. Size and insulation will affect cost and maintenance requirements.

A hot tub is a surprising affordable purchase. Many dealers offer financing options. Hot tubs come in all kinds of sizes, shapes, and prices with an array of accessories and features. A hot tub is less expensive than a pool, easier to maintain, less expensive to buy, less expensive to operate. Whether portable or permanently installed, the health and recreational benefits can be enjoyed all year round.
