Hot Tubs and Conserving Water and Electricity

here are some tips to conserve water if you have a hot tub.  During the summer, keep the cover on your hot tub when you aren't using it. This will help in keeping the water cooler. Since water absorbs heat slower than the surrounding air, your tub will stay cooler for longer.You could also switch to 'cool water mode' where you basically lower the water's temperature to 85 degrees. Alternatively, do away with the heater completely.

Another thing to think about here in Arizona is that during the summer months when the temperatures can be at or well above 100 degrees, your hot tub water will evaporate far quicker than in more temperate parts of the US.  This is another really good reason to keep your hot tub covered when you're not using it.  Summer has it's own hot tub care instructions, but then again so do the winter months

Can My Pipes in My Hot Tub Freeze?

While freezing conditions are very rare in the Phoenix area, they can and do happen.  Covering your hot tub is one way to prevent it.  You may also wish to call your hot tub dealer to see if it will be necessary to winterize your pipes or take any extra measures to protect your tub from freezing conditions.

During winter,you can drain the tub, winterize the pipes and machinery and then refill. Winterizing involves installing a winter blanket ( this is a vinyl-covered, fiberglass insulated blanket which prevents freezing of the components while minimizing heat loss. You can buy one from your local hot tub dealer) . Test your water and if need be, add the necessary chemicals to the water.
Check for wear and tear and inspect the seal to see if it is still tight and in place. Turn off the thermostat if you're going to be away for an extended period of time, or set it to a lower value when you are around. Drain the tub only when its necessary.

So remember, owning a hot tub is all about relaxation.  So if you know the right things to do, you can use your hot tub for years or even decades to come.  It all starts with a phone call to your hot tub dealer in Glendale.

Hot Tub Maintenance and Daily Use

How much should you clean a hot tub?  Hot tub maintenance is all about knowing the proper steps to take with your spa.

Maintaining Your Hot Tub

A few things that you can do to keep your hot tub in good shape include:
1. Keep your filters (filter cartridges) clean.
If your filters are dirty, then the cleanliness and circulation of the water is compromised. There are several degreasers available on the market for this purpose.

2.Keep your pH levels balanced.
It is advisable to test your pH levels once a week to keep concentrations of chemicals like chlorine or bromine in check in your hot tub. You can do this by taking a water sample down to your local hot tub dealer ( they usually do this for free in the hope that you purchase the necessary chemicals from them) or by using home strip tests.
Chemicals from sunscreen lotions, hair and makeup products, detergent residue on clothes, deodorants and body oils are largely responsible for chemical imbalances arising in the water. Chlorine or bromine is used to raise or lower the pH of the water depending on the test results.
A weekly dose of shock is also advisable to rid your spa of algae or bacteria especially when the tub is being used heavily.

Hot Tub: Water Quality and Cleaning

3.Replace the water.
It is best that you drain and refill your tub every 3 months. Scrub your tub before you refill to get rid of any residue that may have accumulated over time.
Do not, however, drain your tub during the summer months or turn off your filters completely. The moving water prevents cracking, moistens the seal and slows down the would-be corrosion from stagnant water.

4. Clean your hot tub.
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to clean your tub after you drain it. You could also go with common baking soda when cleaning small surfaces.

5. Keep the cover on when the tub is not in use. This helps prevent debris from entering the tub, intruders or even small unmonitored children. It will also help you conserve energy.

6. Engage a professional to install all electrical components and schedule regular visits to ensure everything is working properly. It could save you huge costs down the road as a result of neglect.

So remember, it doesn't have to be overwhelming.  All it takes is a bit of knowledge, and you'll know howto do hot tub maintenance on your own.

Hot Tub Sales in Phoenix: What You Should Know (Conclusion)

One of the things that you need to check before you buy a hot tub in Phoenix is the details that go along with your purchase. These details can be the key to getting a great deal and feeling like you've been had...

How to Spot the Right Hot Tub Dealer in Phoenix

First off, before you sign any paperwork, particularly a sales contract, to buy a hot tub, make sure you have ironed out  all of the details.  Make sure that your hot tub dealer is a good one.  How?  Well for one thing, you want to make sure that your hot tub has a warranty regardless of whether it is new or reconditioned.  Another key detail to work out is getting your hot tub delivered to your home.

If you have a hot tub that you're trading in, you want to make sure that the dealer is going to haul the old tub away, or otherwise that is one more thing that you will have to work out in advance of your delivery.  Another thing that you want to make sure of is how much will it cost to deliver a hot tub.  Some dealers charge, some won't charge on a purchase over a certain dollar amount, and others charge an outrageous fee to deliver a spa.  In addition, make sure that the dealer isn't going to tack on any additional fees that will raise the price too much.

Hot Tub Horror Story: Randy and The Shady Dealer

We had one customer, for example, that thought he was getting a great deal.  Randy was quoted a very low figure of $1000 for a five-person hot tub.  It was a great deal.  That is until the dealer got done adding on fees.  The warranty jacked the price of the tub up by $100o, and the delivery charge jacked it up even further.  The hot tub dealer had a "use fee" which meant that they  charged him for trying it out in their showroom.  By the time they got done adding fees up, for a mere $200 more, he could have bought a brand new five seater hot tub instead of a reconditioned.  Fortunately, Randy was smart enough to bail and not sign for the tub.  He came to us and we showed what it meant to be a good dealer.  And believe us, there is a difference.

The service level is important as is 100% transparency.  You want to make sure that everything is covered to your satisfaction. So remember, you want to not only find the right dealer, you want to find a hot tub dealer that you can recommend to your friends and family.

Hot Tub Sales in Phoenix: What You Should Know (Contd)

There are some things you should know before you hit a hot tub sale in Phoenix...

Buy a New Hot Tub or a Reconditioned Spa | (480) 656-7267

Buying a Hot Tub:  New or Reconditioned

When it is time to buy a hot tub in Phoenix, you want to consider all of your options.  First off, how many people do you want your tub to hold?  What is your budget?  What features are you looking for in a hot tub.  When you answer these questions, then there is one more that you have to ponder.  Should you buy a new hot tub or a reconditioned hot tub?

This time of year is one of the best times to buy a hot tub.  When you have decided both on the capacity and your budget, then it is time consider whether you want to go with a new tub or a reconditioned one.  A lot of people have a knee-jerk reaction to the words "used hot tub" or "reconditioned hot tub."  It's kind of like slapping the words "remake or "reimagining" on a classic movie or television show.  However, if  you find the right dealer, you may be in for a surprise.

Hot Tubs and Dealer Reputation

If you're hesitant about buying a reconditioned tub, a lot of times, you can get a fantastic hot tub deal on a reconditioned spa. Sometimes you can get a deal that is 60% or even less than the cost of a comparable new hot tub. And if you find a good dealer, they will warranty the hot tub that you buy. Why? Well, businesses of all sorts, including spa dealers, are a lot more sensitive to their reputation. If a spa dealer gets a bad reputation by providing a shoddy product, word will travel very quickly. Consumers demand a lot more than they used to. Used cars have warranties, as do many reconditioned electronics. Reconditioned hot tubs are no different.

So before you buy, make sure that all of your questions are answered by your hot tub dealer. Do they provide a warranty? The warranty alone will separate a cut-rate hot tub dealer from one who knows what they are doing. However, there are other things that help you to find a hot tub dealer. Make sure that they can deliver the hot tub. Otherwise what looks like a great hot tub sale suddenly loses its appeal when you have to call for a flatbed to drop it off.

Hot Tubs and Improving Circulation Contd

Hot tubs contribute to a healthy lifestyle.  How so?  Well, because of a wide range of things that they do.

Buy a Hot Tub for Stress Relief and Improved Circulation (623) 776-7727

Hot Tub Therapy and Massage

In addition to improved circulation, hot tubs also help  you to relax.  Why does relaxation matter so much?  Well, first off,  a relaxed person is better able to get to sleep at night.  In addition, relaxation also helps to relieve stress, which has been repeatedly linked to heart disease and other health problems.  If a person is stressed, they are less able to fight off disease organisms and other health related problems.  One way that hot tubs help with this is by providing a source of therapeutic massage.

People have a real need to relax.  There are so many things that are sources of stress for most people.  First off, there is work.  In an ideal world, you wouldn't be stressed out by your job.  Or if there was stress, you'd be able to leave it at work and go home to unwind and relax.  However, it sometimes isn't that simple.  Your boss gives you a project that you just can't finish, even if the day was longer.  Stress is unavoidable at work, however, while some stress is acceptable, the stress you have to watch out for is stacking, or unresolved stress.  This stress causes a lot of cascading health problems from pinched nerves to more serious things such as immune system disorders, hypertension, and heart disease.  That's where a hot tub comes in handy: for stress relief  Unlike massage therapists, hot tubs give you a massage when you want it or need it.  Let's say that you soak for about a half hour before bedtime.  This will help you to relax in ways you can't even begin to guess.

Stress Put in It's Place

For example, the way our brains are wired, if you soak in a hot tub,  your mind starts to relax.  Simply staring at the eddies and swirls of your hot tub makes you go into a meditative state.  Since you're calmer and more receptive, a lot of times, the answer to any problems you may have may come to you, simply by soaking in a hot tub.  There isn't anything mystical about it, it's simple brain chemistry.  When your brain relaxes, so does your body.

So remember, you want everything you can to help you in life.  Balance your work life, your education, your family, and most important of all, schedule some time for yourself.  One place to spend this time is right in your own home: your hot tub.

Hot Tubs and Improving Circulation

Hot tubs are great places to socialize, but they also have several health benefits as well, including improved circulation.  How can improved circulation help you?  Well, read on...

Improved Circulation and Hot Tub Therapy

According to this article excerpt from Natural News: "Like breathing and other automatic bodily functions, circulation is something we seldom think about. When it is properly functioning, the circulatory system is like a smooth flowing highway. Traffic moves efficiently, delivering drivers to destinations in a timely manner. A similar process occurs in the body. Blood moves through the heart, lungs, arteries and veins, providing the cells with life-sustaining oxygen and nutrients while removing carbon dioxide and other waste products. But if blood flow is obstructed, every cell in the body is affected. Symptoms of poor circulation run the gamut, from brain fog, numbness and burning or tingling sensations in toes or fingers to pain in the legs when walking, shortness of breath, fatigue and chilliness, especially in the extremities. [READ MORE]
Improved circulation also helps improve your overall health as well.  Circulation helps to move endorphins throughout the body, and these miracle hormones help you have a better mood throughout your day.  Is a hot tub the only thing you need to do to have improved endorphin production?  Not even close.  You want to make sure you eat right, get enough sleep, and exercise throughout your day.  Soaking in a hot tub is in addition to all of these activities, not instead of them. However, improved circulation has other benefits as well.

More Health Benefits from Improved Circulation

If you buy a hot tub, and use it regularly, you'll find that you are a lot less likely to be stressed out.  In fact, hot tubs have proven effects regarding stress relief.  People think that their  mind and their body are totally separate.  They're not.  Your body can affect your mind and your mental state can affect your body as well.  Your emotions come from your brain.  Anger, sadness, anxiety all can cause physiological changes in your body.  However, if your circulation improves,  you'll find that your mind works quicker, and you also feel more alert, which reduces negative symptoms significantly.
So remember, take care of yourself.  Take a vacation every now and then.  Let your day go when it's over, and don't obsess over it.  And find the techniques that help you to relax.  One of the best ones?  Get the best hot tub ever.
